Baauer

Baauer, born Harry Rodrigues on April 30, 1989, is an American electronic music producer who rose to global fame with his 2013 instrumental «Harlem Shake», which sparked a massive internet meme and topped the Billboard Hot 100. His sound blends trap, bass music, and hip-hop influences, often built around chopped vocal samples, heavy 808s, and a maximalist, meme-friendly sense of humor that helped define early-2010s internet-era club music.

Beyond his breakout hit, Baauer has built a career as a boundary-pushing producer, releasing the album «Aa» in 2016 featuring collaborations with artists like Pusha T, Novelist, and M.I.A. on the track «Temple». He has continued to work across genres, blending club music with rap and R&B textures on tracks like «Kung Fu» and «3AM», showing a willingness to experiment beyond the sound that made him famous.

Signed to Hudson Mohawke's LuckyMe label, Baauer has remained a respected figure in electronic and trap production circles, valued for his technical skill and genre-crossing collaborations even as he moved past the novelty of his breakout single.
