Let’s meetup for Lil Texas!
Lil Texas: The High-Speed Architect of Texcore
Lil Texas is an American DJ and producer known for pushing electronic dance music to its absolute limits. Born Samuel Barry, he emerged from Dallas, Texas before relocating to Los Angeles, where he became a leading force in hardcore, frenchcore, and uptempo EDM. Blending influences from jazz and classical training with relentless energy, Lil Texas helped pioneer the “Texcore” movement—an extreme, high-BPM style often exceeding 200 beats per minute.
He first gained widespread attention with his breakout track “I Am Excited,” a defining release that introduced his signature sound and earned support from major electronic acts like Virtual Self, Pendulum, and Kill The Noise. Other notable tracks include “Rock The Beat,” “Shaba,” and “My DJ,” along with high-profile remixes such as his contribution to Lady Gaga and Elton John’s “Sine From Above.”
Lil Texas has performed at some of the world’s biggest festivals, including EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland, and Ultra Music Festival, solidifying his global reputation as a high-energy live performer. While not widely decorated with mainstream awards, he has earned critical acclaim within the hardcore scene and is recognized as a key figure driving the rise of American hardcore worldwide.
With his uncompromising speed and intensity, Lil Texas continues to redefine the boundaries of dance music, proving that faster—and harder—is the future.
