Though NYC club-killer Harry Rodrigues aka Baauer hasn't been on the scene long, the amount of buzz the 24-year-old has been able to build in such a short period of time is second to none, going from SoundCloud's best kept secret to the world's new posterboy for menacing sub-bass styl- ings almost overnight. As a producer, Baauer's impeccable track record has propelled him to become one of the most glorified and respected in his field, cultivating a supremely authentic style and sound that yields stadi- um-sized responses throughout the globe. With a focus on sensationalizing the seemingly insignificant, Baauer melds dance floor traditions with hip- hop tendencies, finding a creative sweet spot between the two that gets redefined with each new track he creates. Baauer's debut came in May of 2012 on Diplo's Mad Decent imprint Jeffree's with the world-smashing hit "Harlem Shake". The song, which gained Pitchfork "Best New Track" acco- lades at the time of its release, made its reign initially as a dance floor anthem, clocking in plays across the world and obtaining monumental support from DJ's and fans alike. But in February of 2013, the song would go on to create an even bigger cultural impact, becoming the catalyst for a Youtube and Internet phenomenon that would catapult "Harlem Shake" into charting at the num- ber one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for five consecutive weeks. Summer of 2012 saw Baauer align himself with Glasgow's impossibly pioneering LuckyMe label (Hudson Mohawke, Lunice, Rustie), debuting a limited edition 12" white label on the Scottish im- print late last year with promise of a full-length EP soon to come. More recently, a co-headlinig tour sparked a collaboration and friendship between Baauer and Grammy Award Winning hip- hop superproducer Just Blaze, resulting in the duo's first creation "Higher", which in just three months has racked up over a million streams on SoundCloud and is set to see a release later this year. In addition to his own projects, Baauer's kept impressively busy with superlative remix work for some of the world's most highly-alluded artists, including The Prodigy, No Doubt, Disclosure, AlunaGeorge, and more. So early into his career, the young artist is only just now starting to gain momentum, and if his superb output thus far is any testament, Baauer looks poised to be re- membered as one of the most exciting producers of our time. When he's not in the studio, Baauer plies his trade as one of the best up and coming DJ's in the game. His first full year as a touring artist saw him headline gigs across North America, Europe, and Australia, gaining him recognition as one of the Top 100 U.S. DJ's by the DJ List (#9 in his hometown of NYC). Baauer's high-powered performances breed a kaleidoscope of sub-bass and future crunk soundscapes, using his distinctive sound to recontextualize overarching themes and create entirely new experiences with each record he plays. Whether it's a 20,000 person festival tent or a intimate 300 person club, Baauer brings an unrivaled energy to the live space that can only be fully realized when witnessed in person.
