On June 30th we welcome Simon Baker (Infant Records/Playhouse) down to Junk in Southampton.

Simon Baker 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 it’s good, 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 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. Plus worldwide tour support for none other than
Steve Lawler.
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
