Prins Thomas

Prins Thomas is a Norwegian producer and DJ whose style is a mélange of disco, minimal techno, electro, Krautrock, fusion, and more. First appearing during the mid-2000s, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with Lindstrøm, Thomas was one of several producers credited with establishing a 21st century version of space disco, largely lacking the kitschier elements of its 1970s and '80s forebears. The prolific artist's myriad releases range from lengthy dancefloor jams to ambient explorations (2016's Principe del Norte) and more experimental, downtempo collaborations with Bjørn Torske and Bugge Wesseltoft. Additionally, his vastly eclectic DJ sensibilities are reflected by mixes such as Paradise Goulash (2015). In 2020, he explored early trance influences on the solo full-length Træns, then reunited with Lindstrøm for the pair's third full-length. Two melodic, atmospheric disco albums, 8 and 9, appeared in the first quarter of 2022.
