It appears that Josh Baker has taken a slightttt left turn with his latest single, My Place.
My Place signals another step in Josh Baker's evolution from underground favourite to one of the UK's biggest names in modern House music. Out now on his Baker's Dozen imprint, the track sees the Manchester producer team up with singer-songwriter Poppy Baskcomb.
Best known for collaborations with Sonny Fodera, Anyma, Meduza, Tiësto and Oliver Heldens, Baskcomb transforms the track with an anthemic vocal, built for festival crowds and Ibiza dancefloors alike.
When an artist reaches his level, a move towards broader appeal is inevitable.
The bigger the artist, the bigger the records need to become. He was never going to stay rooted to the underground forever. With soaring vocals dominating dance music right now, his new release leans directly into that sound.
Driven by a rolling bassline, piano chords and crisp percussion, My Place has already become a staple in Baker's DJ sets this year. The vocal hook has quickly evolved into a crowd-singalong moment, with plays at Coachella, Miami Music Week, Parklife and Amnesia's opening party.
The release coincides with Baker's debut You&Me residency at Amnesia Ibiza, running every Thursday until October.
The single dropped the day after his opening party, which ended up selling out both of Amnesia's whopping rooms, this summer is undoubtedly the biggest of his career thus far.
As we fast-approach the second instalment tonight, 9 July, Amnesia has again added a second room.
Sidney Charles, Julian Fijma, Marlie and Alexandria are the late additions confirmed to be joining the previously announced Marsolo, Laidlaw and Natalia Roth, while Josh Baker himself goes back-to-back with the one and only Jamie Jones.
My Place is out now and is available to stream and download at all reputable online platforms.
Tickets for all remaining dates of You&Me, including the last few tickets for tonight, are on sale now and available to buy below.
