Droeloe Biography

DROELOE , real name Vincent Rooijers, is a future bass music producer formed by Dutch musician Vincent Rooijers and visual designer Hein Hamers in 2016. Rooijers and Hamers met at the Utrecht School of Arts around 2014. Rooijers was studying music and composition, while Hamers was studying visual arts. They worked on art projects at school and made music in their spare time. The project began as a joke; Hein said that "we were just joking around. That kind of got really serious really quickly so..." What began with a SoundCloud account - where they uploaded their own music and curated their favorite releases in their "Pokoe Pack" mixes - soon developed a reputation for creating impeccable percussion-heavy future bass infused with the catchiest melodies. The duo's emphasis of both the music and visuals through both members' strengths has seen them weave intricate stories through both the music and visuals. In May 2017, they collaborated with San Holo for the song "Lines of the Broken". The next month, they released "Jump" featuring Nevve, which was then used in August in an advertisement for the Apple Watch. In 2019, they started their tour The Choices We Face, in support of their EP of same name. On October 21, 2020, Hamers announced his departure from the project. A month later, an anthology album, A Matter of Perspective, was released.
