Born in Mystic, Connecticut, USA, Nate Rathbun is a DJ who performs under the name Audien. He is known for mixing mainstream EDM sounds with influences from progressive house and electronic rock, and is a prolific producer and remixer.
You read that right. This guy has a hell of a lot of remixes to his name, 30 to be precise, and he was only old enough to drink by 2013. He started making his own music and beats in 2009, by the age of 17. He tested the waters by tentatively sending his work out to producers the world over.
He was rewarded by being signed to Flashover Recordings, a label owned by Ferry Corsten, a Dutch DJ of no small repute. This led to Audien’s first single released in the same year as well entitled “Rise and Shine”. He then released 16 non-album singles over the course of 2010 and 2011 to complement his 19 remixes over the same period of time.
Clearly this was an artist as prolific as he was talented. He was recognised for this too, with tracks of his appearing on compilations curated by Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren and Above & Beyond. The latter would also premier a track of Audien’s called “Wayfarer” as the very first song played on their radio show Group Therapy, very high praise indeed.
The best part of this is that in the grand scheme of things Audien has barely begun his career. He’s accomplished what most could hardly dream of given a whole lifetime to work and he’s still only just getting started. This will be a very exciting ride from here on out, and any electronica fan would do well to join.
