Junkie XL

I'm 99.99% sure I did the search right, but here goes anyway.

Junkie XL aka Tom Holkenborg here is the Dutch DJ who had a hand in several industrial, ambient and trip-hop projects in the 90s before going solo and releasing a few albums himself. Since then, to these ears at least, he's peddled among the finest big beat and progressive trance music there is. Definitely one of the first names you should look to if you're looking to have a dig around those areas of modern electronica.

The only albums I've got are his 2007 effort, Music From SSX Blur, and his latest album Booming Back At You. Allegedly there'll be a new one as soon as he finds a label willing to release it. Both very very good and lively efforts (though certainly the latter may be a bit commercial for some).

Here are a few favourites of mine...

Anyone who remembers World Cup 2002 particularly well may know this one too...

Any other fans of the old fella then?

If anyone needs help finding links, just ask.
