Best Josh Baker Songs

The groove that opens everything

Short version: start with "Something to Me". Released in 2024, it's Josh Baker at his most immediate. Groove-first, built for a room that wants to move rather than think. It's the track that best represents what he's about right now, and the fairest introduction if you've got time for exactly one song. Everything else that matters builds from this moment forward.

Building the momentum

"Bass Up to the Top" (2024) should follow immediately after. The low end does exactly what the title promises. Pair these two as a back-to-back listen and you'll understand the groove-heavy house side of his sound completely. The groove isn't incidental. It's the whole point. From there, "Jaffa" leans further into the electro and minimal side, showing texture and depth beyond just rhythm. "Ravi Supreme" is another key cut across his catalogue that proves the range. Together these four tracks give you the full picture of what he does well.

The complete statement: Come Closer

Released in 2025, Come Closer is the most complete statement of his sound so far. It's worth hearing as a full listen rather than picking individual tracks and skipping others. This EP pulls everything together, from the groove-heavy moments to the more atmospheric work, all in one coherent package. By the end of it you'll understand Josh Baker's vision clearly and why rooms like Fabric and The Warehouse Project keep booking him.

The collaborations worth your time

Two of his strongest recent tracks are joint efforts: "Back It Up" with Omar+ and "You Don't Own Me" with Prospa and RAHH, both from 2025. They're as essential as anything on this list, not side projects or extras. They sit right alongside his solo work in quality and ambition. Don't treat them as secondary to the solo tracks. This is where you hear Josh Baker working with people who push him further than he'd go alone.
