Junkie XL DJ/Producer/Remixer/Film Composer has been a mainstay performer on the Ultra Main Stage and this year he shares the stage with Deep Dish, Tiesto and The Cure. A master alchemist, electronic daredevil and breaker of sound barriers, Junkie XL is the only remixer ever entrusted with an Elvis Presley track and he made ‘The King’ quiver his lips and gyrate hips 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. If you think this quote is too much, check out Junkie XL’s latest remixes for Justin Timberlake’s “What Goes Around” and his score/soundtrack for Electronic Art’s snowboard game SSX Blur. He is also a deeply articulate production master and he will be bringing a surprise Logic session that reveals why.
