Influenced by the likes of The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx and dubstep pioneer Rusko, Flux took the high energy madness that dance music was capable of and set about making some of his own. What started off as an experiment soon became clear that Flux has definitely landed on his feet with the dubstep sound.   "> Best known for his work with the Velvet Underground, John Cale has produced a massive body of work that ranges from tastefully arranged strings and piano over Dylan Thomas poetry to barely-suppressed, nigh-psychotic aggression set to high-energy avant garde rock.
