Christian Bauhofer, known by his fans as his party-crushing alter ego Minnesota, is one of the most innovative electronic producers to come out of the West Coast bass music movement.
His sound breaks away from the subgenres of EDM, but holds onto origins of dubstep and hip-hop, creating an authentic experience.
Christian Bauhofer is Minnesota. He is known for “HiLow,” “Float,” “Push It,” “Subterranean” and “Purple Daze.” (Photo: Facebook.com)Early in his career, Minnesota said, “My goal is to make bass-heavy dubstep/glitch-hop music that’ll get you dancing, but it is not the same old three-note transformer step. I try to focus more on the melodic side of dubstep, and hopefully, make quality songwriting a more relevant factor in the genre.”
So far in his career, Minnesota has traveled to over 50 cities and performed at nearly every major festival nationwide. Last year he headlined his first two tours, and performed with STS9, Big Gigantic, MiMOSA and Gramatik.
