About L'Étranger
L’Etranger, translates to “The Outsider”and relates to Ben Thomas’ musical approaches as an Englishman producing French inspired house music. The release ‘Single’contains two new compositions. Work on the title track began last year, and the latter ‘Pulse’a couple of years previous. Single features Thomas’ own vocals, harking back to past tunes such as ‘Mersey Mersey Me’.The Beach Boys and early 80’s R&B groups such as Tavares have acted as influences for L’Etrangerand contributed to the music he makes today all of which directs a nod towards the likes of Cashmere Cat, DJ PaypalandLido. Speaking about the production process Thomas recounted “My approach has been different when writing these tracks. I didn’t purposefully envision them being played in a club, but more for listening elevated up on a cloud somewhere”. He continued “I’ve matured a lot since my debut and I think that’s evident in my songwriting. When songwriting I find myself gravitating towards very human topics. I want everyone to be able to relate to my songs, and being single is one of those things everyone can.”. Ben Thomas began to gain recognition in 2011 following the release of his debut single ‘Touch’which quickly reached the top 10 on Hype Machine’s charts. The track to follow ‘Falling For You’was released on the Valentine’s day of 2012 and not only garnered a huge array of online support, but was played on BBC Radio 1’s Diplo & Friends Show;renowned for being one of the UK’s most influential electronic radio shows. 2014 saw L’Étranger hone his skills behind the desk, working with Vallès, TR!CK$, Stink Floyd and Knight One.Lending his signature vocals, guitar parts and visionary production to many upcoming artists. L’Étranger has since gone on to play alongside Cherokee,Moullinex and Riton and putting out his knockout debut EP 1997 on Sharooz’slabel La Bombe topped the NuDisco Beatport charts.Whilst Thomas’ main focus has always been production, his talents are multifaceted and genrecrossing with 2013 seeing him play as the lead guitarist with Spectrals and releasing an EP of Bsides on his own label, Thomorrow.In 2015, ‘L’Étranger is still a driving force on the nudisco scene so it’s no wonder that his music is now being followed by Goldroom, Bondax, Treasure Fingers, Amtrac, Bit Funk and YouTube blogger Majestic Casual. ❦
