LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts) "Dutch musician/producer JXL, who rose to fame remixing Elvis Presley's 'A
Little Less Conversation' in 2002, creates EDM with a classic-rock sensibility. It's easy to hear his mind-altering soundscapes as contemporary acid rock." - Brian Mansfield, USA Today (11/27/12)
"The Dutch born, LA-based uber-producer returns to stir up his dance-rock roots with some catchy hooks, courtesy of talent like
Tears for Fears and Datarock."-Angus
Thomas Patterson, ELEKTRO (Winter Issue)
Hailing from Amsterdam but now based in Los Angeles, electronic music producer and musician JUNKIE XL celebrates the release of his new album SYNTHESIZED. Out now on Nettwerk Records, the 12-track offering marks his first album in four years and the sixth full-length LP in his 15-year career.
SYNTHESIZED features tracks such as the unrelentingly heavy "Klatshing!," the Ministry-by-way-of-Ed-Banger "Kill The Band" and "Leave Behind Your Ego," a complete psychedelic experience with a Timothy Leary sample and JUNKIE XL's 808. Other vocal cameos include Tommie
Sunshine and Curt Smith (Tears For Fears), FredrikSaroea (DATAROCK) and Isis Salam (Chinese Flash Mob, formerly Thunderheist). There's also "The Art of Luxurious Intergalactic Time Travel" and "Take Off On Molly's E" which chill out with beautiful, "lysergic" lullabies. Hear the entire album streaming now at:
