In amongst this, Andrew has knocked out countless cutting-edge trance bangers to power his famed DJ sets — 'Super Human' (with Asbjørn), 'Magitek,' 'Once Lydian,' 'The District.'.. the list goes on. Respected as a true visionary and a headline talent within the trance world, as well as one of its only openly proud and vocal LGBTQ+ acts, his DJ sound has energised Ultra Music Festival, Above & Beyond's Group Therapy (including a Madison Square Garden show), ASOT, Creamfields and clubs across the world.
In 2022, Andrew Bayer released his two-part album project, 'Duality.' Crafted over three years, 'Duality pt. 1' explores Bayer's passion for downtempo and indie-pop, while 'Duality pt. 2' takes on his forward-thinking trance and progressive sound. On 'Duality pt. 2,' Andrew takes the energy and BPM up a gear with ten tracks of cutting-edge club sounds – avant-garde sensibilities, aimed straight at the dancefloor. Met with acclaim from fans and supported by Sirius XM's Diplo and Liquid Todd, 'Duality' featured collaborations with Kaleena Zanders, Run Rivers, Asbjørn, MOR, Dave Thomas Junior and more. Andrew continues to delve into the meaning of Duality, with a club-focused remix album and stunning autobiographical film, out now on Amazon.
