uma musica antiguinah do inicio da decada de 90 um som tremendo :D

Praga Khan (aka Maurice Engelen)


For more then a decade, Praga Khan has moved dancefloors all over the world, first as a DJ, and later as an artist. First in a long series of singles was 'Rave alarm', released in 1991, followed by the smash hit 'Injected with a Poison'. This single was in the UK charts for six weeks and number one in the top 10 Billboard Dance chart in Japan.

Meanwhile Praga Khan and his "partner in crime" Oliver Adams started up a second project, "Lords of Acid". Their debut album "Lust" was released in 1992. Still today, Lords of Acid remains Praga's favourite side project, benefiting from a huge followup in the States with high record sales and a bunch of sold-out tours all across the country.

In 1994 Carl S. Johansen joins the team. They signed a major record deal with Rick Rubin's American Recordings for the US territory.

Meanwhile, Hollywood started to get aware of their songwritership. After the music they scored in 'Basic Instinct', they were asked to write music for several box office successes such as 'Sliver', 'Bad Lieutenant', 'Strange Days', 'The Spy who Shagged Me' and many more. They even wrote a full album under the name The Immortals for the then #1 video game Mortal Kombat.

As remixers Praga Khan and his team were also very demanded and they achieved remixes for people as various as Jean-Michel Jarre, White Zombie, Alice in Chains, Gravity Kills and more.

In 1998 Praga Khan releases "Pragamatic". After years of success abroad, this album marks the beginning of huge following in their home country. The Praga Khan live set becomes more and more legendary, and twice in a row, they win Belgian music station TMF's "Best Live Act" award. During the summer of 99 Praga Khan performed at some of Europe's biggest festivals, such as Werchter (Belgium), Glastonbury (UK), Bizarre (Germany).

Beginning of 2004 Praga Khan is the first band to sign on the brandnew Stella Artois Music-label. "Electric Religion" consolidates the bands reputation in the alternative dance scene. While singles such as "Supermodel" or "2.0.0.4.(Life)" may sound familiar to someone who knows the band, the album contains a surprisingly wide variation of moods, including beautiful slower songs ("Hollywood", "Mistress of Dreams"Š)

Fall 2004 Praga Khan will introduce "The Next Dimension", an ambitious theatre tour, in which they will create a platform for the many artforms the band has been connected to over the years. The music of Praga Khan, performed live, in specially adapted versions, many of them with classical arrangements, will be the spine of a spectacular perfomance, integrating video-art, ballet, fashion, painting, performing arts and more.
