Belgian studio wizard Praga Khan produced several of the rave world's biggest hits, under his own name and in conjunction with band projects (Lords of Acid, Digital Orgasm, Channel X) masterminded by the MNO production team of Khan, producer Oliver Adams, and vocalist Jade 4U. Born Maurice Engelen, Khan worked as a DJ in Belgium's growing acid/trance/newbeat scene of the late '80s. In 1988 he formed the house and Indian music fusion project Shakti, a fusion of house and Indian music, with Jade 4U. The pair recorded two-dozen singles from 1988 to 1991 under various aliases. Khan released his full-length debut, Conquers Your Love, in 1996, followed by Pragamatic (1998), Twentyfirstcenturyskin (1999), and Mutant Funk (2000). He also scored several feature films. ~ John Bush
