Tom Holkenborg
An entire persona reimagined.
Composer, initiator, educator
Tom Holkenborg, known by his stage name as Junkie XL, is a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer, musician, and composer. Drawing from his extensive background in electronic music and a passion for innovation, he's committed to transforming the landscape of film scoring. Given his diverse career, Tom needed to connect effectively with various audiences, including composers, producers, talents, and fans, using the appropriate tone and branding. The idea was to create an ecosystem that delivers a unified experience, enabling each audience to find the right pathway into Tom’s world through his distinct labels.

Hands-on
I would be lying if I said that I knew who Tom Holkenborg was prior to this project, so imagine my surprise when I found out he was the one behind film scores such as Zack Snyder's Justice League, Batman v Superman and Deadpool. Shaking aside all nerves, I was glad to finally get the chance to work with a subject I hold dear to my heart, and that is audio. Among other audio-visual features I worked on, you can find players for Tom's musical scores, Spotify integrations, and even a fun little synth-keyboard on the 404 page, should you be so (un)lucky.
A 4-in-1 Special
Page in a page in a page...
As anyone who's watched Inception knows, you can only dive so deep before going mad. Tom's new website is as an umbrella where each section is its own sub-brand, which resulted in some very clever routing and theming (not to mention headaches).
- Blue. The current persona, or the Hollywood film composer.
- Black. The DJ of the past, early career and discography.
- Red. The altruist, providing free lessons and insights to any willing to learn.
- White. The teacher, training new generations of aspiring musicians.

Animations, theming and filters galore!
Warning: audio ahead!
