Having picked up a multitude of heavyweight DJ support from the likes of Sander Van Doorn, Yves V, Quintino & Dada Life, along with topping out the Spinnin’ Records talent pool competition along the way, Ken’s relentless drive & underlying focus for delivering tougher, more club-focused cuts has been clear to see.

We have the opportunity to have a chat with this Swedish talent about his influences and successes:
- Sweden is home to many explosive figures in electronic music, what’s the scene like there right now?
Crazy. Kidding aside, Sweden has a lot of great talent in all kinds of genres and electronic music is no exception. It all comes down to our municipal music schools that – while not mandatory – were hugely popular in Sweden during the 1980s that still are. It is where I learned to play the accordion and piano when I was a kid.
2. You’ve had some great success on the Spinnin’ Records talent pool, tell us a little about this?
I have always been a fan of the Spinnin’ Talent Pool community as I think it is great that young talent has a huge platform to show off their talent and also get a chance to become signed by one of the biggest labels in the world. I uploaded a few tracks myself which all when to the top 10 list.
3. What has been your biggest achievement to date, release wise in your mind?
I have millions of plays on Spotify but since I am not currently doing any touring myself I appreciate my music being supported by big names such as Quintino, Nicky Romero, Dada Life, Niki Belucci, Sander Van Doorn etc. Also, I have to say that the biggest achievement is still all the positive comments, messages and emails I receive from all the people out there listening to and enjoying my music.
4. Who are some of your favourite recording artists, currently?
I would like to give a shout out to a few producer friends that I turn to for help and support that are extremely talented and have a great sound, MusicByLucas, Sonny Bass & Robbie Mendez.
5. And finally, what’s next for Ken Bauer that your fans can look forward to in 2020?
I will definitely try to make more time for my own tracks. Also, a big label has asked me if I would be interested in releasing a few tracks in the Future Trance/House genre but with my own twist on them so don’t be surprised if my next track will be in 126 BPM instead of my normal 128…
