Simon Baker is a DJ and producer who has always managed to operate on his own terms since first emerging. Rather than kowtowing to the style of the times, he has pushed his unique house and techno agenda, both as a DJ, and as a producer. With releases on various class act labels such as Rekids, Leftroom, Get Physcial, Cocoon, Fina, 8bit or Crosstown Rebels, Simon has definitely earned his stripes - but it was of course in 2007 when Baker first broke through with the writhing monster that was ‘Plastik’ - officially one of the year’s best tracks according to influential site Resident Advisor. Initially, the track was released on Baker’s own Infant Records before eventually getting picked up by Playhouse for a re-release, followed by a definitive 2014 edition on Kompakt.
