Who is Josh Baker?
Something to Me is the Josh Baker track that shows you exactly what he does, groove-heavy and completely clear.
Your opening move
Josh Baker's music makes sense the first time you hear it. No background reading required, no need to know house music inside out. "Something to Me", released in 2024, is the track that gives you the whole picture in three minutes. It's groove-heavy, direct, and completely unafraid to let the low end carry the weight. This is where to start.
What reveals the range
Move straight to "Bass Up to the Top", also from 2024. The low end is genuinely the point here, and hearing these two back to back shows you something important about how Baker works. His range doesn't come from switching genres or reaching for easy tricks. It comes from depth. He's working within a lane and stretching it from the inside, finding new space in familiar territory.
The collaborations that matter
Once the solo tracks have landed, bring in "Back It Up" with Omar+ and "You Don't Own Me" with Prospa and RAHH. Both from 2025. These show how much personality Baker brings when he's sharing production duties. He's not disappearing into the background here. He's shaping what happens.
The full sound in one EP
When you're ready to sit with a complete body of work, put on the 2025 EP Come Closer from start to finish. It's the most complete picture of where his sound sits right now and how he builds groove and pressure across a longer project. After that, track down "Jaffa" and "Ravi Supreme". They round out the picture and show how far he stretches across house, techno, electro and minimal.
The live experience
Baker's played Fabric, DC10, The Warehouse Project, Awakenings and Parklife Festival. Those are venues that don't book half-hearted acts. If one of them is anywhere near you, go. A DJ set is a different animal from a recorded track. The room, the crowd, the way a drop lands when you feel it rather than just hear it. That's the real way to understand what he's building.
