Simon Baker flitters between techno and house like a synth-obsessed butterfly, his deft touch behind the decks is also somewhat reminiscent of our winged friends. He's just released the debut offering on his brand new label, suitably named Simon Baker Presents BKR Projekt, which sees a return to his techno roots. To celebrate this aural rebirth, we asked Mr Baker to supply us with an hour of aural goodness filled with bigger beats than you'll know what to do with.

That's right, it's time to go DOOF DOOF and get the roof clinging on for dear life. Crack this mix right open as we natter on with its curator; http://www.theransomnote.co.uk/music/mixes/simon-baker-the-go-doof-doof-ransom-note-mix/

INTERVIEW

Simon Baker - The 'Go Doof Doof' Ransom Note Mix

Mayss - Thank You Analogical Force ( KIOSK OUTSIDERS)

A trio of hypnotic, shapeshifting grooves from Thomass Jackson that blur the lines between party and paranormal. Unpredictable yet always danceable.

Transcend into orbit with Uritorco Times. (Probably) an ode to Argentina’s most mystical peak, UFO synthesisers flash and bleep around a wonky bassline. The result is equal parts mystic ritual and late night mischief.

Sly yet crunchy Push Comes To Shove rides a killer bassline over off kilter percussion. Sleazy mechanical funk that teeters, entranced between tension and release.

Sonic Witchcraft ensues in Junk Be Gone as the shadowy yet playful bassline twists like smoke around the acid melody summoning rhythm from strangeness.

Junk Be Gone gets the Felix Dickinson treatment for the EP’s remix delivering an extra long rework that stays respectfully true to the original in all the right ways. Live acid bass envelops the original bassline whilst ever intensifying synth solos build to an epic crescendo.

After several remixes for the label, Sestrica returns with her first 4 tracks solo EP — A Way to Ananda. Across three emotionally charged compositions, Sestrica unfolds an intimate sonic journey that mirrors her own path of transformation.

Naarm/Melbourne-based queer party turned label CONFIDE returns with its second release, a special split EP of club ready cuts no strangers to CONFIDE's dance floors, D. Tyrone & Jo Christy.

'Sisters Split', a collaborative piece of work by the two trans producers and DJs, sees the pair doubling up on joints perfectly tailored for their beloved city's queer scene. 

D. Tyron'e 'Funky (Age Of Love)', premiered here, was recorded during a stint at MESS (Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio) and driven by a fixation on Yahama gear from the 90s and 2000s. Light, bright, but driving, 'Funky (Age Of Love)' is a perfectly timed Summer jam we're excited to hear once the holiday season comes knockin'.

'Sisters Split' releases tomorrow, Friday, December 12 ahead of CONFIDE's celebratory release party at Miscellania this Sunday.
