Aidan Baker

Today’s guest deejay is Aidan Baker.

I came across Aidan on one of my deep dives on Bandcamp and was struck by his music. Aidan, a Canadian musician currently residing in the creative hub of Berlin, has an impressive repertoire that spans solo work and collaborations with notable groups like Nadja, Hypnodrone Ensemble, and WERL

Baker’s musical ingenuity is particularly evident in his experimental guitar playing style, which draws inspiration from a diverse range of artists, including Caspar Brötzmann, James Plotkin, Steve Albini, and Justin Broadrick. It’s a pleasure to have him curate this episode’s mix, a captivating compilation that showcases his unique musical sensibilities.

Want to hear more beautiful music? Just last week, Aidan released his new album, Tense Surfaces. I’ve been listing to it while I write today’s show notes while an ocean breeze wafts its way through my windows. It’s a lovely experience.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Mark O’Shea of the Winter-Light music label.

See you then.
