Simon Baker (Cocoon / Get Physical) will be headlining Rhythmatic @ The White House, Friday 31st July. 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. 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 No. 4 single in Resident Advisor’s tune of the year award.

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), Baker has toured Europe’s finest clubs including Watergate, Robert Johnson, Panorama Bar and Cocoon in Germany plus Droog (LA), The EndUp in San Francisco, Bar 13 (NYC), 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.

Also on the bill is Cecille & Freak N Chic favourite Alex Celler. With his energetic and intense tech house sound, full of swing, tribal rhythms & beats, Alex is said to be probably the most promising of upcoming producers & DJs in the scene. His distinctive style and dedication to music has helped him establish his sound well into the electronic scene, that’s why his productions have been supported & championed continuously by a wide range of big DJs starting from Ricardo Villalobos, Loco Dice, and RRP Soundsystem to Dennis Ferrer, DJ Sneak, Masters At Work, Danny Tenaglia and Laurent Garnier to name a few.

A great opportunity to catch some of house music’s finest in an intimate venue, The White House. Rhythmatic aims to provide the beat loving audience with a familiar house party atmosphere, cutting edge music and that little extra something special to make it a night to be revelled with!
