For the 12th year in a row, the world’s dance music disciples will descend on downtown Detroit over Memorial Day weekend for America’s largest techno-centric dance music event.

Simon Baker just released his debut album Traces; an album that displays all of his musical sides and a wide range of House and Techno styles. His production is timeless, and his remixes are equally defined and sought after. This month his single “No Pressure” got released with a superb remix by Art Department, adding new vocals over a slow, hypnotic beat. We had a little chat with the DJ veteran.
Your music is very timeless, is that something you aim for?
Definitely not, but thanks, it’s a great compliment! I have been making House and Techno music for quite a few years now and still use a lot of outboard gear as I did when I first started out, so maybe that has something to do …
