NZ BASED DJ & PRODUCER

BAYKER is a New Zealand born, DJ and Producer. In 2015 BAYKER found a second home in Berlin, where he spent six years in the underground electronic music scene, producing Melodic House & Techno.

Music has been an intrinsic part of who BAYKER is. Discovering his ability to experience and manipulate melodies, BAYKER became inspired to guide people on a journey into the present moment, with the energetic sum of eclectic sounds, waves of subtle intensity and his signature energy of tension and release.

During his time in Berlin, BAYKER collaborated with Berlin based electronic group ‘GHEIST’ on the track ‘Salvation‘. The track received great attention, reaching #14 on the Beatport charts, and remaining in the Top 100 for some time. BAYKER would later collaborate again on his next E.P release ‘Howl’ signed to RADAU. ‘Howl’ was a global success charting : #20 on the Beatport Top 100 Melodic House & Techno and #3 & 4 on the Beatport Hype Top 100 Melodic House & Techno

BAYKER now has his own imprint ZELAND, where he continues to release driving, deep melodic tracks, accompanied by his vocals.

About:
Say about trance what you will, it did have it's moments. And Herzschwester was most certainly there, right in the thick of it. At precisely the second when the melodic serotonin-showers turned into melted camembert, she jumped ship, switched monikers and found a home in the tripped out sounds of minimaltechno and deephouse. Sticking to her guns, she has maintained a fine-tuned ear for melody and harmony, bathing even the darkest basement with sunlight and making her a staple artist at openairs. Thanks to this, as well as her effort and dedication when putting on her own events, Herzschwester has become one of the very few local DJ's, to have any sort of serious fan-following.

Our new album, "Recover" OUT NOW: https://TNAF.lnk.to/recover

Fat Freddy's Drop’s pirate soul train, resolutely independent, worldwide.

Formed in 1999 in Wellington, New Zealand our sound draws inspiration from almost every part of the black music lexicon. Soul drenched vocals and jazz harmonies collide with tape delays and echo chambers, underpinned by a rhythm section as comfortable laying down a throbbing, techy soundscape as they are a swampy blues stomp.
