Minnesota

Christian Bauhofer, known by his fans as his party crushing alter ego Minnesota, is a
producer and DJ heralding from Santa Cruz, CA that has been lighting up venues across the
country with his frantic energy and pounding bass. At 23 years old, Minnesota has recently spent
his time touring with acts such as Big Gigantic while artists like Bassnectar and PANTyRAID
have been incorporating his tracks into their sets. ‘Quickly becoming a staple in my sets,’
commented Bassnectar when discussing the use of Minnesota’s track ‘Push It’. ‘Perfect for when
I need a track that is epic and churning but also melodically hyped.’
Minnesota’s goal seems simple; to release diverse productions that can win over any
crowd. The support of his management team, agency, and some of the world’s greatest artists can
only attribute to his hunger for more time spent on the road and in the studio. To those that
haven’t had the opportunity to see Minnesota perform, just wait until his tour rolls out this
summer. To put it lightly, Minnesota is a name to watch. For Minnesota, the future is bright as he
spends his time producing new tracks and finds himself playing more events than ever. If you
haven’t heard about him until now, know that Minnesota is a name to watch.Santa Cruz producer G Jones has captivated young audiencesacross North America with his playful and expansive take on broken beat dance music.
