GRAMMY-nominated producer Baauer’s third full-length album, ‘U’, calls back to his earliest musical obsessions -the block rockin’ hits that ruled the airwaves in the 2000s, and the mixes he discovered on Friday night radio. Having soundtracked the Summer heatwave with lead single ‘Better’ and dropping what some are already calling the BBC Essential Mix Of The Year, it only made sense for ‘U’to appear on vinyl and CD.
Executive-produced by Hudson Mohawke, its 16 continuous tracks pay homage to the sample-digging masters of 2000s dance domination. From the sparkling beat collage of ‘Supersonic’ to the big-booty drops on‘Calling Out For U’ and delirious disco-house on ‘Better’,the album’s singles emulate the crossover thinking of Y2K’s biggest dance acts. Deeper in the folds, the self taught studio nerd’s quirks are left unironed, underlining his long track record in the club trenches.
Crowned with vocal performances from Aluna, Brazy,Betsy and label mate KUČKA, ‘U’ is polished to a shine by piano / keys from Eli Teplin (Justin Bieber, Charli XCX) and additional production from pro studio duo Parisi.
Thirteen years on from his overnight breakthrough with the double-Platinum ‘Harlem Shake’, Baauer presents his most personal and emotional album yet - a celebration of precious memories, new connections and an unswerving delight in the search for the perfect sample.
For fans of Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Overmono, fredagain..
