Naked: Junkie XL recorded the Elvis track under 'JXL' to differentiate it from the non-commercial stuff he does.

I think you'll find that it is very common for dance music producers to record under different names dfor different styles. Even in the styles that you like as there have been cases of Hard House or Hard trance DJs recording house tracks under a different name. Does this mean you'd never go and see them if they were going to play a set of hard house?

I will be the first to admit that I know very little about Junkie XL, but after hearing that crap Elvis song, I have no desire to go and search for his good stuff.

Doing a track like that might make him mega bucks - but seeing as I have never heard anything else that he has done that is how I judge him. Maybe if I heard some of his other stuff played I might like it.

But there are far more DJ's I would be seeking out before taking a chance on JXL!
Why would anyone buy his other stuff if all you ever hear played is 'conversation'?

Perhaps because the people who know your taste in dance music have recommended that you'd be into it?

I think it's a small-minded approach to avoid seeing an amazing producer because you've heard one track that wasn't even recorded under his usual name, but end of the day it will be your loss.

By the way, you went all the way to Melbourne to hear Paul Oakenfold who has just released an even worse remix of an Elvis track 'Rubber Necking'. Yet you aren't even willing to listen to a few Junkie XL tracks before decising if you'll be willing to drive for 10 minutes to hear a world class producer and DJ?
