Global hitmaker and Grammy-nominated producer Baauer has dropped a new double single “Supersonic” / “U Give Me Love”, the latest preview of his forthcoming third studio album U, landing June 12th via LUCKYME®. His first full-length since 2020’s PLANET’S MAD, the record is his most personal to date: an ode to the tracks that sparked his love of dance music as a teenager growing up in London, built around a simple instinct to make music that feels joyful, immediate and alive.
New offering ‘Supersonic’ pays homage to the era-defining UK dance records Baauer grew up hearing from acts like Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx and The Chemical Brothers, starting with a simple piano line and vocals from The Jimmy Castor Bunch before detonating into big-beat drums, sci-fi synths and filter-swept chaos. Built to feel like a DJ discovering the track in real time, it’s loose, maximalist and joyfully overdriven. Alongside it, ‘U Give Me Love’ pushes deeper into the album’s euphoric core, stitching together bright piano lines, rolling breaks and cut-up vocal flashes into a full-sprint dancefloor rush made for summer speakers and open-air systems.
A celebration of big hooks, shared energy and peak-time release, U lands just in time for summer. The track follows “Better,” a bright, disco-leaning cut, the record nods to the sample-driven energy of 2000s dance music. To celebrate that track Baauer explored Penn Station’s underground dance scene asking people to dance to the song.
Executive-produced by Hudson Mohawke, U pairs full-body energy with big hooks and
Baauer’s signature sample-led approach, a practice that in recent years has extended into a
front-facing role, tracking down the samples behind his favourite records for a growing online
Audience. “I truly love the process of digging, going through a bajillion YouTube videos to
find a cool five seconds,” he says. The album features a close circle of collaborators, including Aluna, KUČKA, Brazy and Betsy, alongside piano from Eli Teplin and additional production from Parisi.
U also marks the culmination of a creative breakthrough that began during the pandemic, when Baauer started making music live on Twitch. “Doing that cracked open my process — people could see me the whole time, from starting a beat to finishing,” he says. Producing in real time forced him to trust instinct over perfection, giving fans an unprecedented window into his
creative world.
After his 2013 breakthrough with the double-platinum ‘Harlem Shake’, Harrison Bauer
Rodrigues established himself as one of most in-demand electronic producers of the
decade. His signature blend of bass, trap, pop and confetti-cannon EDM connected with
some of the biggest artists on the planet: Jay-Z, Future, Rae Sremmurd, Pusha T, M.I.A.,
Novelist, Trippie Redd, AJ Tracey, AlunaGeorge, Channel Tres, Danny Brown… even the
prototype AI pop star Lil Miquela achieved lift-off with a Baauer beat. U arrives June 12th as Baauer’s first album since 2020, shaped by a shift in process that saw him open up his workflow and move on instinct. “I had to stop overthinking it, ” he says. The result is his most immediate and open record to date.
