Having studied Jazz and Contemporary Music at the New School in New York City and subsequently collaborated with artists like Iggy Pop and Metronomy, Pan Amsterdam blends experimental hip hop, jazz, funk, and electronic influences, resulting in shapeshifting, genre-defying tracks. Confines, reflects Pan Amsterdam's refusal to be confined by genre. The music channels influences from hip hop's golden age, alongside nods to artists like Kool Keith, Busta Rhymes, and MF Doom. Confines is a personal turning point for Thomas, dedicated to his late father and embracing his rebirth as Pan Amsterdam after years of frustration in the jazz scene. With a stream-of-consciousness style Confines explores diverse themes, from racial politics and identity to pop culture references. This mix of humor, social commentary, and introspection is an exploration of the world through a childlike, almost alien perspective and his background in gospel, jazz, hip hop, and even the Grateful Dead shapes this eclectic sound.
