M.I.A., Rustie, Leikeli47 are the known collaborators on the LP, and the recent release of "Kung Fu", featuring Future and Pusha T, hints at the solid, synth and snares heavy hits on the horizon. In this Dazed documentary, we trace the dizzying new heights Baauer is intent on reaching: through a snowy New York, to intense musical sessions in-studio with balaclava-clad Leikei47, and neon-lasered light shows performing to thousands of ravers. Rodriguez explains his musical and personal evolution, as he feels for confidence in the industry chaos. Escape the algorithm!
