Doug also established himself as the worldwide renown producer of more than 350 released tracks, represented by over 80 international labels (both major and independents). In 1986, he founded his first digital midi recording studio together with Chris Huelsbeck, who lateron became one of the world's leading game soundtrack composers for titles such as Indiana Jones, Resident Evil and Star Wars.

After founding the Media Park with its 10 studios in 1992 nearby Frankfurt, the Hypnotic label in 1994 (first release I'm Rushin') and the House of Faith label in 1998, Laurent has been hosting DJs and acts like Angel Of Death, Club Invaders, Deskee, DJ Roy Davis, DJ Wag & Misar, Jay Frog / Scooter, Kai Tracid, Legend B, M@c & Frost, Mikado, Miss Shiva, Miss Thunderpussy, Pro-active, Ramin, Renegade Master, Stevo, Trance Action, Vega, Warmduscher, Yakooza and Y.O.M.C.

Besides going solo, Doug Laurent actually runs the acts Ammonia, De Lorean feat.

His current 2004 major label projects are German pop stars idol Fabrizio (Universal), former Sweetbox singer Tina Harris (Columbia), Shahin (featured by the Prodigy & Tim Deluxe) and Eastern Europe supergroup Colonia.
