ABOUT US
Sockdrawer is a bass music and art collective based out of San Francisco, California.
Our Mission
In the Sockdrawer every sock belongs! it is our mission to search behind every couch cushion, under every dog bed, and on the dance floor of every bassy party to find our missing socks. No lost sock can resist heavy bass lines and good vibes.
Our Beliefs
We believe the party should never stop! Sockdrawer strives to share our love for bass music and renegade culture with the rest of the world by uplifting and inspiring the community.
In the world of vibrations we are all the same, and we welcome anyone who wants to tune into our frequency.
Our Goals
We want to inspire in ways that can positively impact the world for generations to come. As we grow, we want to focus our efforts on donating and fundraising to give back to the local art community.
All Sockdrawer events are "Leave No Trace". We work hard to practice sustainability while taking pride in respecting our environment.
Inspiration behind Sockdrawer
"After losing my job due to COVID, I felt lost and disconnected.I knew that if I felt this way, many others were probably going through something similar. To lift spirits, I spent time promoting virtual events, sending positive messages, and even mailed handmade crafts to my friends.
During the 2020 virtual burn,
I discovered a new online platform called Topia that ignited the idea to create Sockdrawer, a 24/7 online festival space. I was able to connect people and artists in a meaningful way. As our community grew, we expanded to physical events, becoming an official camp at Burning Man in 2022 and beyond.
Inspired by the support of our friends and community, Sockdrawer continues to grow and evolve for years to come. "
