Corey Barker - Good Time

With Releases on:
House Lab Records & Animal Recordings

Supported by Patrick Topping, Richy Ahmed, Mark Jenkyns & Max Chapman

It was in 2015 when things really started to pick up for Corey when a video aired on Facebook of Patrick Topping playing ‘Corey Barker - Love Life’ at Hideout in Croatia. This track was then featured in Mixmag under Patrick Topping’s ‘top 5 Ibiza slammers’ & then went on to reach 11th in the Beatport deep house chart & 34th position overall. From here he played twice for ABODE at Studio338 (in the loft and on the mighty terrace!) 

Corey, like many northern youths got into dance music via happy hardcore scene but his tastes quickly shifted once he spent the season of 2010 in Ibiza & attended nights such as Circoloco where artists like Jamie Jones, Rhadoo & tINI truly drew him in & inspired him. After this he attended all the renowned clubs & festivals across the globe, absorbing the way of the dancefloor, whilst continually honing in his production craft. 

Very early on in his career he was getting a lot of self-earned support of his tracks, many were played out in various clubs across Europe. It wasn’t long before he was swiftly dishing out his own style of energetic groovy Tech House with catchy vocals and trippy FX, which earnt him a lot of respect in the Hull underground circuit & all the friends and contacts he had met during his travels. Going on to be a resident for ‘déjà vu’ & ‘Illicit’ in Hull he quickly got the hang of mixing under pressure and played alongside some of the biggest names in the industry such as wAFF, Denney, Audiojack, Flashmob, Leftwing & Kody, Dale Howard & Chris Cue. Corey also played a set at Kanya Beach Pool Party, Ibiza.
