About Me


SIMON BAKER BIOG
Simon Baker is fast becoming a major player in the global electronic community. Working steadily through the ranks at 2020 Vision after producing his first single “The Lip Trick” in 2004 he has worked, fine-tuned and greatly improved his production skills gaining worldwide respect with a bang this year. (Word & Sound-Germany-Sept 07)
Simon has been collecting and playing records for over 15 years. A versatile and passionate DJ, he doesn't like pigeon holing his style, as he is a firm believer if its has "the groove", play it. But his passion is for the finest underground, deep electronic house and techno music, represented by the releases on his superb INFANT RECORD label.
2007 couldn't be busier as Simon's reputation is fast-growing as the one to watch, being proven by current residencies at a number of the UK's acclaimed underground House nights including Asylum & Technique at The Warehouse Leeds, and DDD at The Key , London.
Simon scored his first hit in 2004 with his debut recording, released under his 'Liptrick' alias, which found it's way into the bags, and compilations of Tiefschwarz, Damian Lazarus, and Dan Ghenacia amongst others, and was signed to Ralph Lawson’s highly respected 2020 Vision label as part of an album deal.
These days simon is concentrating on solo material for various labels, including his new label, INFANT RECORDS . Infant is run in conjunction with 2020 Vision and the first release debuted Simon's solo sound. Entitled Simon Baker presents 'Footprints EP', it was launched at the Sonar Electronic Music Festival in June 2005. The reactions were tremendous, with Radio 1 plays as well as 4/5 in both DJ and IDJ magazine, amongst others. The label has since gone from strength to strength with more releases from Simon alongside Paul Woolford, Burnski, Ilija Rudman, Anthony Collins, Sian, Rekleiner and more. His 'Catch Up' release for U.S label Sugarcane release gained him yet another Top Tune of the month Award in IDJ.

Simon has recently been a busy boy, signed up to the excellent German Label Connaissuer, with his track "The Fly" , as well as Leftroom Records for his track "xy&z. Steve Lawler has been supporting Simon's work for some time and signed him to his label Viva, with the track "Confused" including a huge David K mix. Further still, the mighty Playhouse Records have also spotted Simon's productions and signed him to a 3 single deal , first up is his track "PLASTIK"..
2007 will also see Simon releasing on 2020 Vision, Rekids, KarateKlub, Infant and Connaisseur again, to name but a few.

Influences: LOADS !!!!! Can't be bothered to type them all. Into far too many various types of electronic stuff and bands etc.

BIT OF PERSONAL Am the big 3 2 years old but not sure i act it!? (How should a 32 year old act?..dunno)
When i am not doing music related things or partying .......then..... I am generally asleep! Am a northern lad who says it how it is. Some might say "blunt". I think sarcasm is the BEST form of wit, I dislike RnB, love chilli's, red or green. I enjoy having stupid laughs, and not into cheesy bars. I do have a sensible side too. No i have.. honest! Asian food is my fave. I love a pint of 'wife-beater', or a JD and coke. Quite partial to red wine aswell. I can't stand clipboard twats that try and stop you in the street, in fact anyone that tries to stop me in the street! Also, kids that play music from their mobile phones in public places fuck me right off(It's generally RnB!). I like edgy , funny, interesting people with something orginal to say. Like going to gigs, travelling, festivals, meeting new friends, and getting out of Leeds as much as poss. That'll do for now. Here's some pics. Bye.

Sounds Like: A right loada racket !
