Hailing from the Bay Area, electronic DJ and producer Jauz (born Sam Vogel) has consistently made waves in the dance music scene since his debut in 2014. His journey from a young electronic music enthusiast in the crowd of Hard Summer to playing on the main stage is a testament to his meteoric rise in the industry. Jauz burst onto the international music scene with his infectious original track, “Feel the Volume,” released on Mad Decent. The release catapulted him into the spotlight, earning him recognition from industry heavyweights like Zedd, Skrillex, and Diplo. His energetic sets and genre-blurring production quickly made him a staple on major festival lineups around the world.
Jauz continued to stun the electronic music world – making headlines at Coachella by dropping his viral remix of Pete Fong’s “Baby Shark” and making his TV debut as a special guest DJ on The Discovery Channel’s “Shark After Dark” during Shark Week with comedians Rob Riggle and Adam Devine. As his popularity continued to soar, Jauz embarked on the sold-out “Dangerous Waters Tour” in early 2020, amassing over 60,000 tickets across 40 shows in the US and Canada. He also embraced the world of online streaming, raising over $50,000 for non-profit causes during COVID-19 through Twitch streams featuring guests like Illenium, Marshmello, and Alesso. In 2022, Jauz released the Block Party EP in conjunction with a nationwide tour, bringing awareness to shark conservation through his partnership with Beneath The Waves. In 2023, he reached a significant milestone with the release of his two-part album series, the progressive-house-inspired Rise of the Wise and bass-music scorcher Wrath of the Wicked.
Throughout 2024, Jauz continued to display his vast range as a producer, from the drum and bass breaks of “Higher for Your Love” to classic, warping dubstep on “Savage.” In an especially exciting moment as a Bay Area native, Jauz teamed up with P-Lo and Zion I to deliver the Golden State Warriors’ third-quarter anthem, “Don’t Lose Your Head.” And in tandem with global distribution company OneRPM – home to names ranging from Method Man to Elohim – Jauz relaunched his acclaimed Bite This! label through his towering future bass single “Chains.”
In 2025, Jauz is prepared to return to the roots that made Apple Music dub him the “Godfather of Bass House.” He kicked off the new year with an invigorating new single called “Feel It” that delivers on his coronation, deftly balancing soaring melodies with a propulsive groove. On the Bite This! front he’s prepared for a brand new Miami Music Week takeover, and with many more singles and shows up his sleeve, a banner year awaits the Bay Area boundary-breaker.
