BigBadBaz (born Barry Christie on 3rd September 1983) is an English born dance music producer and mash up artist.
Barry was born in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear but spent most of his life living in Northamptonshire. Inspired by the work of sampling artists such as Fatboy Slim and The Prodigy, Barry started to make sample based dance music in the late 90s. Continuing to produce music under the pseudonym BigBadBaz (a name suggested by friends as a moniker) he released his first productions on vinyl only in September 2002. A mostly club based record, the vinyl still showed signs of what future productions would sound like with a wide range of samples from The Who, Rare Earth, Dandy Warhol’s and Kool and The Gang.
Barry’s continued use of samples became less derivative in 2002 and 2003 with more and more internet only releases using larger samples from tracks akin with the Mash up scene that was growing at the time. This similarity brought Barry’s music some publicity and found his music being championed by Radio stations across the world, cashing in the fad of mixing 1 or more popular songs together.
Continuing on with the same style of music that brought about “Call On Me”, BigBadBaz released a white label album “Generic Prydz”. The name was a lighthearted poke at the ammount of copycat songs that were filling the dancefloor in 2005.
