Baauer

Baauer aka Harry Rodrigues hasn't been on the scene long. Baauer is just 23 years old and the last few months have cast him the poster child of the contemporary US fusion of dance and rap music.

Baauer has been producing dance music from the age of 13, mostly making house and electronic music. He previously produced a track under the name Captain Harry, which was played by Kissy Sell Out on BBC Radio 1. His influences include hip-hop and dance music. He has produced remixes for Nero, The Prodigy, Flosstradamus and No Doubt. Baauer was signed to the LuckyMe record label in August of 2012, and made his debut with the three-track 12-inch EP Dum Dum.

The single "Harlem Shake" was originally released on May 22, 2012. "Harlem Shake" created a viral video craze online, which inspired fans to upload their own videos for the hit from February 2013 onwards.

Baauer collaborated with hip-hop super producer Just Blaze on the track 'Higher'. Both producers toured together throughout January and February 2013. He has been working on an EP which will be released on LuckyMe Records in 2013.

Baauer's "Harlem Shake" single reached number 1 on the iTunes America chart and number 2 on iTunes in the UK and Australia on February 15, 2013.
