Magazine London Open-Air Presents Josh Baker B2B Max Dean: The Pre-Party Playlist
Josh Baker and Max Dean: two artists shaping the sound of UK Tech House arrive in the capital for their long-awaited London debut this August, outside at Magazine Open–Air on Saturday 15th August. Individually, their impact is undeniable, together, it reaches another level entirely.
Hide&Seek founder and You&Me label head Josh Baker has become synonymous with groove-led productions targeted directly at the dancefloor, underpinned by a relentless run of sold-out shows and high-profile headline performances across the UK and beyond.
Max Dean’s stacked resume continues to push his neXup imprint to new heights, drawing record-breaking demand at Drumsheds and selling out a two-day Fabric weekender. An Essex-born journey that is anything but emerging and shows no sign of slowing.
Josh Baker, Poppy Basckomb – My Place [Baker’s Dozen]: The viral House ID combines rolling basslines, crisp percussion, and Poppy Baskcomb’s hypnotic vocals. It quickly climbed to the upper ranks of the Beatport and Official Charts on release too.
Max Dean, Luke Dean – Gets Like That [DX3N]: A prominent Tech House track co-produced which is characterised by its energetic underground house groove, the song relies on catchy vocal loops describing infatuation and obsession.
Josh Baker, Sienna Sophia – Come Closer [You&Me Records]: The track blends warm chords, rolling minimal-Tech grooves, and an intimate, soulful vocal performance by Sienna Sophia. It became a dancefloor staple after being road-tested across global tours, most notably opening Baker’s headline set at Creamfields
Max Dean, Luke Dean, Locky (UK) – Curveball [neXup recz]: Diverging from the heavy, rolling Tech House baselines typical of their solo discographies, the trio crafted this track with a clear focus on old-school Breakbeats and high-energy UK bass structures.
Josh Baker – Something To Me [Three Six Zero]: Widely considered a major career-changing record for the Manchester-born DJ and producer, the high-energy House track became an instant dancefloor anthem and one of his most-streamed releases.
Azari & III x Max Dean – Reckless (2024) [Positiva]: This dancefloor-driven update of the 2010 classic blends iconic vocals from AZARI & III’s Starving Yet Full with Max Dean’s groove-driven sound. It’s a nostalgic yet modern club hit.
