Def FX

Def FX were an Australian electronic rock band of the '90s, supposedly named by their manager throwing a pile of CDs together and choosing a name based on the top two -- a Def Jam compilation and an album of BBC sound effects.

The band's founder, keyboardist, sampler, and backing vocalist Sean Lowry would later claim that he had created their music using a database of Top 40 hits, which he digitally manipulated to create the basis for new songs that nevertheless sounded familiar enough...
