Baauer talks

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “I just had the idea of taking a Dutch house squeaky-high synth and putting it over a hip-hop track. And then I tried to just make it the most stand-out, flashy track that would get anyone’s attention, so put as many sounds and weird shit in there as I could. The dude in the beginning I got somewhere off the Internet, I don’t even know where, and the lion roar just makes no sense [laughs]. There’s the sound of flames in there, too, it’s just really low.” —Harry Rodrigues, DBA Baauer, explaining the premise behind “Harlem Shake” in an interview with the Daily Beast, his first since the track exploded last week.
