Jax has not seen the sun since 1989, and frankly, the fluorescent tube over the console is doing a much better job.

From midnight until first light, The Industrial Graveyard is built from machine precision, EBM discipline, industrial-rock weight, and the most demanding corners of the X-Factor library.

Jax is a gear obsessive with a sleepless ear for production detail. He notices the drum machine hiding under the distortion, the piece of hardware responsible for that metallic snare, and whether a track has earned the right to be called gritty. He will not be taking questions about melody.

Favorite territory

• Industrial and EBM
• Industrial rock and heavy electronics
• Mechanical rhythms and abrasive textures
• Fringe material for people who remain awake
