Thomas Laurén

Biography

Citing influences from Jeff Buckley to Frank Sinatra, Klaus Schultz to Jeff Mills, Philip Glass to Boards of Canada and Queen to Imogen Heap, Thomas Lauren grew to be a diverse producer. Often it’s not so much the groove that takes the lead in his music but the honest and romantic atmosphere that makes the sound of Thomas unique and graciously.



Spotted by Nuno Dos Santos, Thomas Lauren began his musical journey in Utrecht. Starting with live performances, he developed quickly to be a known musician. The first track that was pressed on vinyl was ‘Hope’ on the Utrecht based label Dualblock Records. International recognition came when ‘Limit Life’ was released on the infamous dutch label Wolfskuil Records. The record got support from artists like Karotte and Ben Watt.



But since the release of ‘Waste No Time’ on King Fu, Thomas wants to let the world know that he is a hopelessly romantic and a thoughtful producer. The ideas of music Thomas has, are without any reservations or restrictions. So to do the thing he loves most, Thomas created, together with his musical friend Tundra, Savoir Records. They are releasing primary their own material, but the most important aspect of the label and music is that it comes from the heart. Savoir Records is trying to let the world know that innovative romantic electronic music exists. ‘Undefined Night’ was the first release on Savoir Records and it was an instant success. The track has been picked up by many DJ’s including Estroe. The second release of Thomas Lauren on Savoir, ‘Elevated Morning’ reached even one of the biggest DJ’s in the world, Sander Kleinenberg.



For a small period of time, Thomas lived in Berlin to get inspired on a new level, and it paid off. He produced an album and made his first clip with the track ‘While my Closet is Burning’. This clip got picked up by Dutch most infamous music related website 3voor12. The versatile releases and album shows that Thomas continues to evolve, being a headstrong producer, DJ and label owner.
