★ BAAUER ★

NYC club-killer Baauer aka Harry Rodrigues hasn’t been on the scene long – at just 23 he’s rapidly become the poster child of the contemporary US fusion of dance and rap music. With a stellar selection of remixes for the likes of No Doubt (Mad Decent) and Flosstradamus (Fools Gold) and, of course, the anthem that is ‘Harlem Shake’ (Jeffrey’s/Mad Decent) under his belt – he has established himself as a 2013 breakthrough artist. 

In the last fortnight the viral video phenomenon that is the ‘Harlem Shake’ has been nothing short of mind-blowing and there have since been over 40,000 spin-offs with well over 180 million views!

On the back of what can only be deemed the biggest internet craze in recent memory, ‘Harlem Shake’ is sitting pretty at #1 on the iTunes Singles Chart in a plethora of countries, including the USA, Australia and of New Zealand. 

Virtually overnight Baauer has also seen a stupendous change in the crowd response to his live performances. From a recent Chicago show, he describes a scene involving “people dressed as Optimus Prime, a ram, and a goat, all going ape-shit.” While people always responded positively to ‘Harlem Shake’, now, he says, “it’s absolutely insane.”
