Lasus started Studio Red in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1990 and recorded many seminal Indie rock artists there: Helium, Versus, The Lilys, Madder Rose, Space Needle.

In 1997 he moved to Brooklyn and started Fireproof Recording, a recording studio, which became an important part of the indie music scene in Brooklyn and New York City. While there Lasus worked with PJ Harvey, J Mascis, Joan Jett, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Mark Mulcahy and Daniel Johnston, Members of Sleater Kinney and many others.

Lasus has always recorded to analog tape and believes that recording and mixing to tape produces the best possible sonic result. Typically his records are started by recording the band live to a 24-track 2-inch tape machine and he uses a large selection of unique vintage compressors, microphones, mic preamps, eq's, reverbs, tape delays and effects.

Fireproof Recording is now based in Los Angeles, where Lasus has recorded indie artists Anders Parker, Army Navy, Hartley Goldstein, Oliver Future, The Submarines, Seneca Hawk and Marching Band.

In early 2007 Lasus started Fireproof Recordings, an indie record label.

The first release was "Pax Futura" by the Los-Angeles-based band Oliver Future.

From January to March 2008 Lasus worked as the music director and produced tracks for the movie "Bandslam" directed by Todd Graff and starring Vanessa Hudgens, Alyson Michalka, Lisa Kudrow and David Bowie, in theaters August 2009.
