Genre: Dance \/ Pop<\/strong> Baauer<\/span><\/a>\u2019s album <\/span>U<\/i><\/span><\/a> is a wide-sweeping and smiling reminder that dance music can be clever, ridiculous, emotional, and fun all at once. His first album in six years, released on <\/span>LuckyMe<\/span><\/a> and executive-produced by <\/span>Hudson Mohawke<\/span><\/a>, pulls hard on the UK radio sounds that shaped him as a teenager in London: piano house, UKG, disco edits, Baltimore breaks, electroclash, and big-room chaos with cheek still in it. Across 16 tracks, the record moves like a proper high-energy DJ set, full of samples, hooks, and bright turns that land without losing the weirdness. Guests, including Aluna, Brazy, Betsy, and KU\u010cKA add color, but the heart of it is Baauer chasing that old dance floor rush. After \u201c<\/span>Harlem Shake<\/span><\/a>,\u201d he could have stayed frozen in a viral moment\u2026 but where is the fun in that?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pro-tip: if you like sample breakdowns, check out his <\/span>Instagram channel<\/span><\/a> \u2013 you won\u2019t be disappointed! Baauer will also be joining us at <\/span>Beatport Connect NY<\/span><\/a> today to break down some of the samples that appear in his new, radiant album.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
