Considered a staple in the progressive house genre, Audien launched his career in 2008 with a string of releases on Anjunabeats, Armada Music, Spinnin’ Records, and Astralwerks. Over the years Audien solidified his signature sound and garnered the support of industry veterans like Tiësto, Above & Beyond, and Armin van Buuren. In 2014, Audien released his Grammy nominated remix of Bastille’s “Pompeii”, which went on to become the most played track at Electric Daisy Carnival and Coachella, and one of the five most played tracks at Tomorrowland. It is no surprise then that Audien has become a mainstay at marquee festival brands across the world including Tomorrowland, EDC, Ultra, Lollapalooza, and many more. Audien’s career growth and influence is evidenced by his impressive list of collaborators, which include Lady Antebellum, MAX, and Echosmith, on top of official remixes for Michael Jackson, Coldplay, and Halsey. Audien released his debut LP ‘Escapism’ in November 2019. The album is a definitive effort encapsulating both Audien’s signature style and his dominance in the dance landscape. Audien states, “I’m not reinventing the wheel, but I’m accentuating the art I’ve created for almost a decade. It’s the best form of what I’m known for.”

Mike Williams: When I was 4 years old, I played the piano for the first time. That’s the moment I realised I wanted a career in music. I bought my first DJ gear from my savings when I was twelve years old, and from that moment on you could always find me behind the decks. The foundation was built for my melodic sounds and I believe it still forms the base of my music today. The rest is history, or history in the making.
