Foundations: Bakey (3 hour set)

Lineup

Bakey (3 hour set) 

London-born, Leeds-based Freddie Baker (Bakey) first caught our attention in 2018 with Cookie - a moody rap collaboration with BNC Javen, which he co-produced when he was just 17 years old. Since then he's released three solo EPs, two on one of the UK's most prominent labels, Timeisnow, both full of groove and consistent with his signature style which pays respect to a wide array of genres emanating from and most commonly associated with the UK. Bakey is also not afraid of getting his hands dirty with some edits and remixes, including a slinky edit of Flowdan's Welcome to London.

His work has caught the attention of some prolific and long-in-the-game artists, such as The Blessed Madonna and Appleblim and Emerald. Like many artists pushing these sounds at the moment, Bakey's passion isn't confined to the 4 walls of his studio. He is just as zealous when it comes to DJing and has brought tremors to a few dance floors, including the Keep Hush and 23 Degrees parties. And to add a cherry on top, Bakey and his brother Charlie Baker (Breaka) are cooking up some b2bs, which we for one are gassed about. Keep your eyes peeled!
