With Me

Droste is a genre-blurring electronic artist whose music channels the raw energy of the dancefloor into sonic journeys that transcend time and space. Based in San Francisco, Droste’s creative DNA weaves together his past lives as a rave impresario, DJ, graphic designer, and tech researcher. These experiences infuse his sound with a distinct edge: a vibrant mix of global influences, futuristic textures, and the primal pulse of the underground.

Droste’s tracks are rich tapestries of world music themes and instruments, seamlessly merging tabla rhythms, orchestral crescendos, and haunting vocal chants with bass-heavy grooves and 80’s synth nostalgia. Each piece is a portal, transporting listeners to a timeless, outer-space-meets-tribal journey of pure light and euphoric energy.

With a knack for unpredictability and genre-defying storytelling, Droste creates music that isn’t just heard—it’s felt. Whether it’s the hypnotic build of Controlled Burn, the metal-infused chaos of Straps, or the dubstep elegance of Midnight Owl, his soundscapes are designed to move bodies and ignite imaginations.

For Droste, music is more than a craft—it’s a medium for connection, exploration, and delight, where every beat invites listeners to step into a new, electrifying dimension.
