For Junkie XL read Xpander of Limits. A master alchemist, electronic daredevil and breaker of sound barriers, Junkie XL is the rogue scientist who electrified 'The King' and made him quiver lip and gyrate hip beyond the grave. He's a shapeshifter a hybrid-engineer able to meld the visceral throb of house with the stadia-razing rumble of rock, blowing open the space within the grooves and creating new dimensions in sound.

Best known for his remix of Elvis' A Little Less Conversation which shot to number one in 24 countries, Tom Holkenburg's career spans much further. Born in The Netherlands in 1967, Tom learnt piano, drums and bass at an early age before getting switched-on to synths and joining the Dutch New Wave group, Weekend At Waikiki, as multi-instrumentalist and producer, going on to form industrial rock band Nerve with vocalist Phil Mills, yielding two LPs before splitting in 1995. Meanwhile, Tom had began fervent work as a freelance producer, earning credits for bands including Sepultura, Fear Factory and Dog Eat Dog as well as major video games, movies and TV commercials.

But his obsessive work ethic drove him to drink and dangerously poor health, and he was diagnosed with a serious heart condition aged 27. Once recovered, Junkie XL was born and 1997 saw the release of the album, Saturday Night Teenage Kick. "I called myself Junkie XL from the point of view that once you're completely overworked you never want to go there again," he explains. "The 'XL' stands for '(E)xpanding Limits' broadening up your vision." Tom shot to stateside fame with his rock-slanted breakbeat angst on tracks such as Billy Club, joining The Prodigy on tour in Germany with a full band. Second album Big Sounds of the Drags expanded into psychedelia, while the huge club track, Future In Computer Hell, made a fan of British DJ, Sasha, which resulting in Tom's collaboration on his Airdrawndagger album. A previous working relationship with Nike then saw Tom produce the music to their soccer World Cup ad – a remix of a certain deceased singer – that changed his world forever. Now it's time for Junkie XL to reinvent himself once more.

Radio JXL: A Broadcast From the Computerhell Cabin is the staggering new album from Junkie XL. But that's not all. A concept born of the digital age, it also witnesses Tom's radical interweaving of audio and cyberspace, simultaneously creating a double album and a virtual radio station broadcasting from www.radiojxl.com, Tom's brand new, fully interactive website. Not only is this where Tom's musical vision takes full shape but also where a vital interface takes place between Junkie XL, a cast of illustrious collaborators and you, the user. The first transmission is this: Junkie XL's outstanding third solo long-player, a double CD representing two typical transmissions from the not-so-typical Radio JXL. It's an electrified sonic soup with ingredients gathered from the corners of the Earth and fused together in Tom's Amsterdam HQ – known, for obvious reasons, as the 'Computerhell Cabin'.

Entitled 3pm, the first CD simulates Junkie XL's ultimate daytime radio experience. From the frequency-mashing intro sequence through to its closing digital breakdown, Tom has invited some of his greatest musical heroes to join him on airwaves, including Public Enemy's Chuck D, synth-pop giant Gary Numan, ex-Special, Terry Hall, Depeche Mode's iconic front-man Dave Gahan, The Cure's Robert Smith, soul legend Solomon Burke, Republica's Saffron, Grant Nicholas of Feeder, Dutch su
