His productions, released on prestigious labels including Revival, HellBent, and Nervous Records, have earned support from artists such as Cloonee, Chloe Caillet, and Blond:ish.
As he prepares to embark on tours across Latin America and Europe in 2025, Facu Baez stands at the threshold of what he calls a ‘New Era’—one that promises to push creative boundaries while staying true to his artistic vision.
In this exclusive interview with EG, Facu discusses his creative process, his evolution as an artist, and his ambitious plans for the future.
EG: Hi, Facu! Welcome to EG. It’s a pleasure to have you here with us. How have you been? Where are you right now? How did you kickstart the year?
Facu Baez: Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here. I started the year with a lot of energy, fully focused on my music. I’m currently at home, in Uruguay, after a few intense months working in the studio. 2025 is shaping up to be a key year, so I’m going all in.
EG: First of all, congratulations on the drop of your latest single, ‘New Era’! You must be stoked to share this one. What has the initial reception been like so far? Do you remember the first time you played this one live?
Facu Baez: Thank you! Yes, I’m super excited about this release. ‘New Era’ is a very special track for me because it marks the beginning of a new stage in my sound. The reception has been incredible, both from the crowd and fellow artists. I remember the first time I played it live; it was in a rather intimate set, and I felt that instant connection with the people. That was when I knew I had something powerful in my hands.
EG: So, what can your fans expect to find on ‘New Era’? Is there an emotional trigger driving this one?
Facu Baez: ‘New Era’ is more than just a track; it’s a statement. It represents growth, change, and the pursuit of a sound that I feel is truly mine. It was born from a moment of personal and artistic transformation, so there’s a lot of emotion in it. It’s music designed for the dancefloor but also meant to resonate on a deeper level.
EG: What was the creative process for ‘New Era’ like? How did this one come about? Do you have a set of ‘rules’ you follow in the studio to guide you?
Facu Baez: The process was quite organic. It came to life during a phase when I was exploring a lot and trying new things. I like to start with a clear idea of the energy I want to convey, but I let the track guide me along the way. I don’t have strict rules, but I always aim for every element to contribute to the journey I’m trying to create.

EG: So, what does this ‘New Era’ mean for you in terms of your sound? What was it that ‘told you’ that this is a time of change?
Facu Baez: It means evolution. I felt it was time to push beyond my limits and take risks. I’m always looking to grow as an artist, and there came a point when I knew I had to take this step. ‘New Era’ is my first message to the world, saying, “this is who I am now, and this is what’s coming.”
EG: By the way, you’ve just put together your first sample pack, which has been quite successful. How did the idea come about? What was the process of putting this one together like? Will you be doing it again soon?
Facu Baez: Yes, it was a great experience. The idea came because I often get asked about my sounds and production tips, so I wanted to share something that represents my identity. It was a lot of work but very rewarding. And yes, another pack is definitely on the way very soon.
EG: What are some of your biggest goals? What would you like to accomplish in this scene?
Facu Baez: My goals are clear: I want to keep developing my sound, reach more people, and play around the world. I’ve always dreamed of that. But beyond that, I want my music to leave a mark.
EG: Now, on to the state of the scene… What do you see as the biggest challenge for the music industry in the next few years, and how do you think artists can adapt?
Facu Baez: I think oversaturation is a big challenge. There’s so much music coming out all the time, and it can be hard to stand out. Artists need to find authentic ways to connect with people, stay consistent, and most importantly, stay true to their vision. Just believe in yourself and keep working hard.

Facu Baez: This year, I have several releases lined up that will further showcase this new era. I’m also working on some special collaborations. As for shows, we are finalizing dates across Latin America and Europe, so stay tuned – I’ll be announcing everything on my socials soon.
