Laidback Luke established his underground credentials with several booming house and techno 12″s during the 1990s before playing a significant role in shaping the EDM sound with his more accessible material during the 21st century. Initially inspired by the rough energy of Chicago and New York house as well as Detroit techno, he became a hot property in clubland with his early singles, which were summed up by the 1999 compilation Psyched-Up. He then switched to a more melodic progressive house style, signing a major-label deal and releasing his debut album, Electronic Satisfaction, in 2002. Through constant worldwide touring, remixes, and original productions, he became one of the leading artists of the EDM scene during the 2000s and 2010s, working with heavyweights such as Swedish House Mafia and Avicii and scoring crossover hits such as the 2008 remake of “Show Me Love” by Robin S. He remained highly active during the 2010s, releasing charting singles with the likes of Steve Aoki, Example, and Martin Solveig in addition to the 2015 full-length Focus.

This duo’s emphasis on their artistic strengths has seen them weave sonically and visually intricate stories through their music. Droeloe‘s signature skull has quickly become synonymous with progressive music and breathtaking art highlighted by their impeccable percussion-heavy sound infused with the catchiest melodies and stunning use of visuals.
They hit the electronic music scene in 2016 when San Holo brought them aboard Bitbird where the duo released a string of singles through the rest of the year including “zZz” and “Wake the Warrior” establishing themselves as a new force to be reckoned with. The duo’s songwriting and producing continued to mature giving way to another string of hits across different labels such as Lowly Palace and Monstercat.
The duo returned to bitbird for their biggest piece of work to date – their debut EP A Moment In Time.
