Hailing from the unlikely location of Mystic, a small seaport town in Connecticut, Audien (born Nathaniel Rathbun) began producing music as a teenager and gradually took his piano-driven hands-in-the-air progressive trance sound to the top of the Billboard dance charts, selling out major venues and headlining numerous EDM festivals along the way.
Rathbun started creating tracks in 2008, and since has created countless feelsy tracks that take escapism to a whole new level. His 20139 hit track “Iris” put out by Anjunabeats Records. You already know this tune brings booming emotive and happiness set to high. 6 years later and it still gets us moving. Check it out as our Spin It Back Saturday feature below.
