about au5

An undeniably influential force in electronic music for over a decade…

Au5 (pronounced A-U-Five) is the solo project of Austin Collins - presenting a highly matured balance between intellectual, emotional, and danceable music. From hard hitting technical dubstep, uplifting melodic trance, psychedelic bass, experimental ambient music, and everything between, Au5 knows no boundaries for passionate musical exploration and expression. “A producer’s producer”.

Classically trained since age 4 and producing and performing since 13, Austin is a well rounded musician, visual artist, and educator. As an articulate public figure presenting unique artistic, scientific, and philosophical perspectives, he strives to better the world through inspiration - opening minds to what is possible not only within music but within ourselves.

From his debut album ‘Minimality’ in 2010 to now, Au5 has been consistent in quality and authenticity with a repertoire of nearly 200 released songs - many with multiple millions of plays. He's collaborated with legends BT, Tritonal, Slander, Mr. Bill, toured with acts such as Infected Mushroom, Liquid Stranger, Seven Lions, and has music released on numerous labels like Monstercat, Armada, Owsla, Enhanced, and Wakaan to name a few.

“If you’re looking for trendy music, turn away. If you’re looking to embark on a journey, come with me.”
