We’re THNDR: Fulltime music geeks, Part comedy club & part chaos unit. We build, brainstorm, and challenge each other. But beyond the meetings and deadlines, we’re the kind of team that hypes each other up, celebrates wins (big or small), and always knows when someone needs a meme instead of a meeting. We’re not just colleagues, we’re friends & partners in crime ⚡️😎

Julia de Blaauw is a multidisciplinary art-director and designer for whom we had the joy of creating the first showreel of her work.
At its heart, the idea was simple: an honest depiction of Julia’s particular professional self.
We frequently stuck our heads together, resulting in a unique voice of eclectic design, turbocharged motion, and hyperactive sound reminiscent of rapidly flicking through channels on an remote control.
Design-wise this meant creating visual space for a large variety of diverse work.
In motion this is represented by a rapid-fire editing pace, mixing film, photography and different methods of animation.
Reaching completion together in sound design and music fusing Julia’s taste for 90’s hiphop, Kraftwerk, jazz, and ambient soundscapes.
Oh yeah, and we made a synthesizer called the ‘kuiken-stamper’, to nail that creepy-but-cute voice during the intro.
Looking back we all greatly appreciate collaborating in such a tight-knit manner, and are excited about sharing the final result.

The last few months we’ve been deep in it. New Sonic Branding and music projects and a full rebuild of our website. A site that reflects what THNDR is really about: hands on, out of the box, the best music for the best brands, and the belief that culture grows through music.

Welcome to the team! @thomas_boerr@barthendrikx 💪
From his dad’s vinyl collection to his first B.B. King concert, this guy breathes music like we do. Bart has spent his career building creative companies across the globe.
And as some of you know, we make a lot of content as well (we’re almost a small production company at this stage 😅) Lucky for us, we now have Thomas helping us out with filming, directing and editing everything!
Happy and thrilled to have you on board⚡🔥
We had a blast hosting another community night at our studio 2 weeks ago!⚡️
This time was extra special: Tyler and Liz from @chasebliss and @chompi.club came by to demo the amazing gear they make.
If you’re an audio geek like us, be sure to check them out;))
Onto the next one!🧡
The last 3 episodes of the making of “Sûu”, “Jai Glâa” and “Yang Mâi Jòp”, tracks five, six and seven from our EP created for the documentary Bia.
Sûu means fight on. And that’s exactly what it sounds like. But these last three tracks follow the full arc, the tension, the release, and the quiet that settles in after. That’s where Bia’s story finds its heart.
The full Behind the Sound is on our website, and the EP is streaming on Spotify now. Links in bio.

Here’s a little peek into the making of “Wan Tam-ma-daa” and “Phôe” tracks three and four from our EP created for the documentary Bia.
These two felt different to write. We wanted to give the audience room to breathe, to sit with the story so we pulled back and let the music do its quiet work.
Curious to hear more? The full Behind the Sound is on our website, and the EP is streaming on Spotify now. Links in bio.

Eras come and they go. This year, Formula 1 left its most successful one behind, entering 2026 with the sport’s biggest rule change in history. For @viaplayracingnl ’s hero commercial, we animated two generations side by side to familiarise fans with the future of F1, as one era fades out and another takes over.

It’s been 2 weeks since we dropped our original documentary soundtrack for Bia. As you know, we always love sharing our process with you, and giving a bit of insight into our thought process.
These are the first two episodes of our Behind the Sound series for the documentary tracks: “Bòt-nam” & “Săam Sà-hăai.”

Last week we heard the news that we’re now officially finalist for a Gouden Loekie with “Wij Eisen De Nacht Op” campaign!🏆
What started as an idea to reclaim the night grew into a nationwide movement. Thanks to 18,347 donors, dozens of partners who contributed selflessly, and countless people who shared the message, hashtag
hashtag
#WijEisenDeNachtOp became more than a campaign. It became a conversation that was needed!!

We’re back with another Behind the Sound!
Today we’re sharing the story behind the score we made for the Schoonenberg Christmas campaign together with INDIE
We turned “Why Can’t We Live Together” into a warm Christmas track built around piano + real strings, with vocals by @jackievenson and beautiful string work by Jasper van Rosmalen. A reimagining of a well-known classic that feels intimate, contemporary, and emotionally honest with enough restraint to leave space for every word and moment on screen.
