	Musicians - Junkie XL

Junkie XL (also JXL) is a musician, born Tom Holkenborg in Lichtenvoorde, The Netherlands in 1967. He resides in the Netherlands and produces progressive house music. After producing and touring with the Dutch group Weekend at Waikiki, he split with them in 1995 and began writing his own tracks as Junkie XL in 1997. He has worked with many electronic music artists, including Sander Kleinenberg, DJ Tiësto and Sasha.

He uses the name JXL in those cases where the term Junkie might cause offense.

Some of his better-known songs include:

"Future in Computer Hell" (featured on Sasha's Global Underground 013: Ibiza)
"A Little Less Conversation" (remix of Elvis Presley
's original as JXL)
"Zerotonine" (featured on Dave Seaman
's Global Underground 016: Cape Town)
"Beauty Never Fades" (feat. Saffron
of Republica)
"Breezer" (with Sasha, featured on Deep Dish's Global Underground 025: Toronto)
"Obsession" (with DJ Tiësto)
"Outrageous JXL remix" feat. on the Limited Edition of Britney Spears "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative" Album with the Bonus Remix CD.

He has produced a remixed version of the Sims theme music for the computer game The Sims 2: Nightlife, and the entire soundtrack for the XBOX racing game Forza Motorsport.

While JXL is considered to be an electronic music artist, he is surprisingly connected to the heavy metal culture: Apart from providing remixes to both Fear Factory and Rammstein, he is signed to metal-label Roadrunner Records, and has appeared on Roadrunner United.
