Junkie XL (Tom Holkenborg)

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Artist

Junkie XL (Tom Holkenborg) · Tom Holkenborg (born in 1967) became known as the Dutch dance producer Junkie XL. His remix of Elvis Presley's A Little Less Conversation became a worldwide hit in 2002. He then went to work in Hans Zimmer's studio in Los Angeles. His first big score of his own was 300: Rise of an Empire (2014). For Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) he wrote music that thunders along like an engine block: drums, distorted guitars and an orchestra that hardly pauses for breath. In the film a guitarist even plays on a moving truck. For Deadpool (2016) he used synthesizers from the 1980s. He combines dance production with orchestral writing.
