"I can pretty easily, and with confidence, say that you haven’t heard anything like this from an EDM producer before. You just haven’t. It doesn’t fit within any current genre definition."


"In a time where much of EDM has become criticized for similar "main stage" sounds and formulaic structures, Savant is providing the scene a refreshing avant-garde approach to electronic music production."


"Listeners of Savant will tell you a couple of things about his productions – they’re wild, they’re wacky, and they’re never, ever the same."

We promise you that you have never heard an album like 'Protos.' Inspired by the heroes and characters from his childhood, Aleksander Vinter, aka Savant, pays homage to all the great comics in an impressive and diverse full-length 18-song galactic journey through space and sound. If you took the anthemic style of Queen, mixed with the electrifying arena rock sound of Styx, and garnished with the flamboyant and theatrical prowess of Prince you would only scratch the surface of Savant's 10th album release 'Protos.'

Hailing from Oslo, Norway, Alexander Vinter, aka Savant, is one of the most eccentric and prolific characters in the electronic music scene, having released four full length albums in a single year and also landed at No. 1 on Beatport in 5 separate categories. After a few months' uncharacteristic lull in releases, we finally get a taste of Savant's latest concoction: 'Protos,' his 10th full-length album, which marks his ascent beyond the confines of EDM into something the world has never seen before.

LISTEN TO 'PROTOS' IN FULL EXCLUSIVELY ON WAVO.ME

Taking influence from the music Savant grew up listening to, which includes everything from Prince to Sonic The Hedgehog to Electric Light Orchestra, 'Protos' lies in a world of its own, the childhood dreamworld visualized by the album artwork. It features 19 songs that cover an incredible spectrum of styles, and are all original creations, in which Savant performs every instrument, sings every song, has written every lyric and produced all the material.
