After more than 15 years in the electronic music scene, Belgian DJ and producer Thomas Sempels begins a new chapter as Semsei. The shift goes beyond a name change, marking a move from EDM toward deeper, more textured House and Indie Dance. Active since 2008, his sound has grown alongside his career. The name Semsei, drawn from the Japanese word “Sensei,” nods to both his artistic path and his work mentoring emerging DJs and producers through Tomorrowland Academy. His first release under the new moniker, launched ahead of summer 2025, drew international attention and set the tone for this direction. With past appearances at Tomorrowland, Tomorrowland Winter, and recent club shows, Semsei steps into his next era with a more defined musical identity.
