First showcased on Matt Tolfreys 'Don't Be Leftout' label mix compilation last year this has been the track that has been causing the most stir and given remix work from Ivan Smagghe VS Matt Tolfrey and Ashken plus Frankie.
Based in Leeds, Northern England, Baker was introduced to many through his beating anthem 'Plastik' released on Playhouse last summer finding favour with everyone from Sven Vath to Sasha and voted no 3 track of the year by Resident Advisor. This year see the man behind the Infant Recordings imprint release an exclusive track for the seminal Cocoon box set and remix Simian Mobile Disco and Radioslave's Bell Clap Dance. His reputation as a nubreed producer to be reckoned with is cemented. 'X, Y & Z' original mix bears all the characteristics of a typical Baker anthem, rolling percussion bouncy bassline and intricate melodies weaving in and out of the groove complete with a huge breakdown of twisted keys and pads, Simple you might say but ultimately effective.
Label owner Frankie has delivered one of his finest works with a trademark jerky groove. He uses his talents to flip the sounds and reverse the EP before slipping back into that tasty groove.The last offering tries out a fresh and explosive concept with the remix from Ivan Smagghe assisted by Leftroom's own Matt Tolfrey and MarcAshken. An interpration rather than a remix, the original elements are used subtly within a more stripped down structure. A haunting female vocal winds through the proceedings until a manic rise and peak. With one listen you will understand its power.
