Claassen is an ever-evolving sound and relationship with rhythm—shifting from the intensity of tech house dance floors to the grounded pulse of ritual, earth, and introspection.

What began as a vehicle for movement—high-energy DJ sets and club-driven tools—has transformed into something more deliberate. Claassen now lives in the in-between: where deep house meets progressive textures, afro rhythms pulse beside ambient washes, and glitch-based sound design emerges from organic stillness. Each track is less a product, more a practice—a sonic exploration of memory, feeling, and the need to release.

Rooted in the natural world and shaped by breathwork, solitude, and travel, Claassen’s music is made from both digital tools and physical environments. You’ll hear field recordings from the jungle, analog percussion layered with found textures, and melodic shifts that mirror the emotional tides of real life. These aren’t bangers. They’re rituals.

Currently based between Costa Rica and Los Angeles, Claassen continues to grow through seasonal mixes, stand-alone singles, and intentional collaborations. With support from underground curators, tastemaker DJs, and listeners seeking music that moves deeper than the surface, the project is carving a quiet but certain path—one grounded beat at a time.

Claassen isn’t here to distract you from the world. It’s here to help you move through it.
