Take a Daytrip is an American record production and songwriting duo composed of Denzel Baptiste (born January 9, 1993) and David Biral (born February 22, 1993). They are best known for producing singles such as Sheck Wes' "Mo Bamba", Lil Nas X's "Panini", "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)", and "Industry Baby" (featuring Jack Harlow), Juice Wrld's "Legends", and Travis Scott and Kid Cudi's "The Scotts", all of which peaked in the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100. Their productions are identified by the producer tag "Daytrip took it to ten".
History The duo met while Baptiste and Biral were attending New York University and started producing in 2014. In 2016, they collaborated with Rockstar Games to produce the score of the Grand Theft Auto Online update; 'Import/Export'. They have produced many hit singles, with their first notable track being "Mo Bamba" by Sheck Wes in 2017, which peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100. Their highest-charting singles currently are "The Scotts" by Travis Scott and Kid Cudi and "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" and "Industry Baby" by Lil Nas X, both of which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2022, the duo launched No Idle, a publishing imprint in partnership with Universal Music Publishing Group. In 2025, Baptiste and Biral were announced as one of the remixers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup theme, representing the New York metropolitan area, and in September, were named artists-in-residence at New York University's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music for the fall semester.
Legal issues In October 2019, two Atlanta producers, Don Lee and Glen Keith Demeritt III, claimed that the Lil Nas X and Cardi B song "Rodeo" was a copy of the song "Broad Day" by Puerto Reefa and Sakrite Duexe, which they produced. The two sued Lil Nas X, Cardi B, and Take a Daytrip. The case ended when it was dismissed with prejudice by the court.
