Biography of Tom Baker

TOM BAKER - Wiggle, Wrong, Brique Rouge, Evasive Recordings

From early influences in the acid house explosion of 88 through to the thunderous underground house and techno of the post-millennium, Tom Baker has constantly maintained a forward thinking yet floor-orientated musical vision. 'I’ve got a pretty short attention span and get bored of records quickly so I’m always on the hunt for fresh and emerging sounds and ideas'

Initial club bookings in 91 led to his first monthly residency at London's Coliseum. Soon after, he was offered guest spots in the legendary main rooms of The Ministry of Sound and Bagley’s film studios. In 1995 his ascent was confirmed as he received the winning entry in Mixmag magazine's nationwide DJ competition.

A bi-monthly residency in Holland in 99 opened the door to the global network of the underground house and techno scene, sending him on numerous missions overseas to entertain crowds from North and South America, Asia, and just about every European Country from Bulgaria to Germany to Ibiza to Hungary.

In between tours, Toms recently played at Fabric, Turnmills, and The Sanctuary in the UK, and his studio work has been signed up by the likes of Terry Francis (for his Wiggle imprint) and Asad Rizvi (for Wrong Recordings).

Toms ability to adapt and cross boundaries is highlighted by the variety of luminaries he’s shared gigs with, for example; Kenny Hawkes, Dave Angel, X-Press II, Robert Owens, Mark Broom and Rob Mello to name a few. Never one to be stereotyped Tom's equally comfortable playing slamming 3-deck techno, through to relaxed, quirky, underground house. But its his pumping tech house sets that have won him the most fans. Playing to the party with rapturous effect whilst equally striking into the hearts of chin-stokers.
