While his name might suggest a stage persona, Boss Priester is, in fact, his real name—a fitting reflection of his authentic and uncompromising approach to music. Preferring to operate behind the scenes, Boss allows his music to speak volumes. Over the past few years, he has been diligently crafting a unique musical identity, producing and curating electronic dance music that seamlessly blends elements of minimal, house, and techno.
With a background rooted in both music and technology, Boss channels his expertise into innovative soundscapes, all while honoring the rich heritage of electronic music. His approach is playful yet deliberate, consciously steering clear of overused musical clichés. This no-nonsense ethos has led to releases on esteemed labels such as Ba Dum Tish, X-Kalay, Dungeon Meat, and Locus. His dynamic performances—both as a DJ and live artist—have graced renowned festivals like Awakenings and Loveland, as well as iconic venues including 93 Feet East and Lofi. Simultaneously, he continues to release music independently through his BPDUBS imprint, producing limited-edition cuts in a basement in Rotterdam, where he maintains complete control over both the musical and technical facets of his work.
Boss’s recent releases have garnered support from some of the industry’s most respected artists, including Fumiya Tanaka, Samuel Deep, Enzo Siragusa, Chris Stussy, Voigtmann, Janeret, and Josh Baker, to name a few. With several upcoming projects in the pipeline, he remains committed to pushing boundaries and sharing his distinctive sound with the world.
