In 2002 he left Holland to live and work in the United States where he works on soundtracks for movies and computergames. He uses the name “JXL” in those cases where the term Junkie might cause offense. Some of his better-known songs include: * “Today” (the title track from his 2006 release Today)| * “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, featured in a promotional video of the game EvE-Online)| * “Breezer” (with Sasha, featured on Deep Dish’s Global Underground 025: Toronto)| * “Obsession” (with DJ Tiësto)| * “Feuer Frei! (Rammstein vs. Junkie XL Remix)” (B-side on Rammstein’s Feuer frei! single)| * “Crusher” (feat. Saffron of Republica) - Theme song of Quantum Redshift| * “Outrageous (JXL Remix)” on the Limited Edition of Britney Spears’ Greatest Hits: My Prerogative Album with the Bonus Remix CD.| * “Action Radius” (the track from the game Need for Speed: Underground)| * “And Then We Kiss” (Junkie XL Remix) featured on B in the Mix: the Remixes by Britney Spears. 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. He has also provided music for the films Kingdom of Heaven, Domino and the upcoming DOA: Dead or Alive. His song “Today” was featured as one of Burnout Legends’ EA Trax, apparently before the album was released.He also produced a remix of the Destroy All Humans! theme which can be heard on the credits or from the soundtrack. There are also 2 tracks remixed by Junkie XL found on the Need for Speed: Carbon soundtrack. He composed the entire SSX: Blur soundtrack. 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. —————- Sasha, born Alexander Coe (born September 4, 1969), is a Welsh DJ and record producer. He is best known for partnering with fellow English DJ, John Digweed, as Sasha + Digweed. The pair released several mix albums together, including the Northern Exposure series (released between 1996 and 2001). They also released one of the all time best selling mix albums, The Renaissance Mix Collection part 1, in 1994. The album was recently re-issued. Sasha also released two Global Underground solo mix CDs, San Francisco (GU009) and Ibiza (GU013), which are considered classics of the progressive house genre.|In 2002 he released his first solo LP, Airdrawndagger, a result of collaboration with Spooky, James Holden and Junkie XL. The album enjoyed excellent reviews upon its release, and recently a wave of quality remixes by various producers has re-kindled interest in Sasha’s production work. 2004 saw the release of Involver, his third in the Global Underground series. This mix album differed from previous albums in that each track was completely reproduced in the studio, as opposed to simply being blended together.|More recently, in 2005, Sasha began moving away from mixing with records and CDs in favor of a new approach with computer software and a dedicated controller for his live sets. |
