2008 has been a pinnacle year for LJ MTX.  After making his Beatport debut during mid-January, the Electro and Progressive House producer/vocalist/singer/DJ’s name has been seen all over the charts.  During late March/early April two of his bass thumpin’ tracks (released on Metronix Recordings) were featured in the top 50 for Electro House.  His remix of Saddle Up by local DJ and Producer “Pimpztress Rah” jumped up to number 43 within one week of its release on the Beatport.com Top 100 Electro House chart, along with his original, “Punk Rawk” which was charted as high as number 14 on Trackitdown.net.  Additionally, the vocal work LJ did for Poland’s Mike Cortez & Poldee (aka Livin’ So Fast) was recognized as Behind the Decks (Marbrax Remix) reached as high as #60 on Beatport’s Top 100 Electro House.  LJ’s original tracks and collaborations are being dropped by some of the hottest DJ’s in the world, receiving support from some top names including:  Antoine Clamaran, Hatiras and Donald Glaude.  As one could imagine, all of these accolades have come as abrupt, yet pleasant surprises for the up-and-coming artist in a short period of time.  To see his name listed among the most elite in the industry has been such a great honor for the unassuming artist.
