SIMON BAKER BIO

Simon Baker can look back on a year that has defined his ascent to the
electronic music elite and established him as a true global player.

After honing his craft from the early 1990's, firstly as a DJ and more
recently as a producer, the last twelve months have contained a string of
smash 12"s and his increasing profile has taken him well beyond UK shores,
with DJ tours of North America, South America and Australia and Asia under
his belt.

Simon scored his first hit back in 2004, under the alias 'The Liptrick' with
the track of the same name. After initially surfacing as a white label
single, The duo were spotted by Ralph Lawson's 2020 Vision and he instantly
signed to an album deal. It made its way onto the compilations of Damian
Lazarus, Tiefschwarz and Dan Ghenacia to name but a few. The bar had been
set, however The Liptrick were soon to go their separate ways, as Simon
pursued a solo sound which he chose to present on his own Infant Records
label, which launched in 2005.

These initial forays, such as 'Footprints', 'Aerosol Games' and 'The
Headrow'
EP gave Simon the freedom to experiment in the studio throughout 2006 and
the tremendous reaction from the dance music press, DJ's and the dance floor
set the tone for his later success. The label has since gone from strength
to strength with more releases from Simon alongside Paul Woolford, Burnski,
TG, Anthony Collins, Sian, Rekleiner, Jamie Jones and more.

Summer 2007 proved to be the making of Simon with three key releases taking
him to the next level. His huge hit 'Confused' on Viva, 'The Fly' on
Connaisseur, before the ubiquitous 'Plastik' on Playhouse capped things off
in amazing style, eventually being voted 4 single in Resident Advisor's tune
of the year award.

In 2008 the challenge was to rise to the standards already set. Already in
demand as a DJ through residencies at two of the UK's most acclaimed
underground nights (Asylum at The Mint Club in Leeds and DDD in London), he
now toured Europe's finest clubs such as Weekend Club, Watergate, Robert
Johnson, Panorama Bar and Cocoon in Germany, Droog (LA), The EndUp in San
Francisco , Sullivan Room, Bar 13 (NYC), Nitsa in Barcelona, The End and
Below (UK), the Piknic Electronik festival in Montreal; Unit (Tokyo) and
many more.

Despite this relentless touring schedule, the hits keep coming. Sven Vath
hand-picked Simon for his 'H' compilation on Cocoon - the resulting offering
'U' was unanimously declared an album highlight and won him many new fans
from the labels devout following. Also coming through was Simon's huge re
working of Simian Mobile Disco's 'Sleep Deprivation as well as tracks for
Leftroom, 2020 Vision and Rekids and Get Physical along side friend Jamie
Jones. Simon is now turning his attention to remixing indie artist's too,
mix.
