Baauer

Baauer is Harry Bauer Rodrigues, a producer who became known in 2012 when his track 'Harlem Shake' turned into an internet phenomenon. The song's simple beat and the dance videos people made with it spread everywhere online for a while. After that, he kept making music, putting out albums like 'Aa' in 2016 and 'Planet's Mad' in 2018.

His work isn't just that one viral moment. Songs like 'Kung Fu' with Pusha T and Future, or 'Temple' featuring M.I.A. and G-DRAGON, show he's comfortable working with different voices over his productions. The sound tends to sit in that space between trap and electronic, with heavy bass and crisp drums.

He's from Montreal originally, and though he tours, he doesn't seem to have built a permanent band around himself. The music is mostly his project, with guests coming in when needed. It's straightforward, beat-focused stuff that doesn't over-explain itself.
