BigBadBaz

BigBadBaz (born Barry Christie on 3rd September 1983) is an English born dance music producer.

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, The Dandy Warhols and Kool and The Gang.
