“For this hour’s mix I wanted to go more underground,” Josh Baker tells Apple Music. The Manchester-based DJ/producer’s profile has built up steadily over the years, taking him from his bedroom to playing in front of huge crowds at places including fabric and Parklife. This blood-pumping mix, which features tracks from Reflex Blue, Dino Lenny, Coro, and more, scratches his itch to find a comfortable middle ground between crowd-pleasing hits and his natural crate-digging tendencies. “Playing on big festival stages means it’s often hard to really dig as people are expecting to hear my big records, but being a selector is where I came from,” says Baker. “I took this mix as an opportunity to dig a little deeper—hope you enjoy.”
