Right on the heels of Aux-Records enthusiastically received 1st release featuring very contemporary revisits of the 1950s classic >Fever< by Franco Cinelli and Club Rayo, this 2nd chapter of the Aux-Rec project travels to different eras, into different styles. And this is precisely what we had set to do: zig-zag through dance music history in search of personal favorites and classics to be revisited or refreshed. For the present release, we travel to two distinct dates: 1989 for the A-side, and 1979 for the B-side. Two tracks that are 10 years apart, but that both share a fiercely upbeat and affirmative musical profile, as well as a certain ageless, core, compositional quality.
In this release you will find groove of the highest standard, infused with subtle mood and feeling, that will take the pre-party into the party, and the waiting lounge into the airplane. ‘Baker Man’ was Danish duo Laid Back’s second hit after the even more popular ‘White Horse’… so good a track that it deserved to be reworked and revived! The original groove of ‘Baker Man’ was already highly infectious back then. A simple yet effective composition of electric guitar, horns, organ and soulful female vocals that brings the image of a joyful road trip to mind. The lazy male vocals and melody, and the incoherent lyrics, give the track an absolute downtempo and trippy feel to it.
