Biography of Raymond Baer
Raymond Baer comes correct like a remedy for a sick dance-floor. Daring you to keep still during his barrage of 180 BPM, heavy-hitting, hard-stepping, grimy, gritty and more massive-than-you tunes, Ray’s got the crowd on lockdown like the truest soldier. Darkly atmospheric and entirely apocalyptic, Raymond’s style both rebuilds and condescends the breakbeat culture he loves.
Ray's trajectory is an easy one to track. Starting off his career playing dark breaks, Ray honed his DJ skills to a near perfect science. But something was missing in this Northern Chicago natives’ musical lifestyle...
Ray Baer was born with two things that make him such a consistently adept DJ – the first being given a name that is clearly destined for super-stardom; one that, despite its catchiness, is actually his. The second is a vicious need for speed – his combined love for the big breakbeats laced with hard synth lines of Jungle ignited a passion for the drum and the bass. But he doesn't play your mother’s d’n’b, Ray has the perfect blend of tried and true classic anthems and tracks so fresh they are still bleeding.
Perhaps his persistent perfectionism and his voracity for the biggest bangers has been a product of coming up with fresh material for his Tuesday night radio show on Ravetrax.com from 8-10 CST. Or maybe his confidence comes from playing all over the Midwest and in two countries. Or maybe Ray has paid his dues, made love to the breakbeat, and just wants to murdah a sound-boy…or two.
