“I wanted to go back to the roots with this album. Combining gospel, soul and folk samples with uplifting pianos and saxophones to create a collection of feel good songs perfect for the summer.
Says Amsterdam producer Bakermat about his upcoming studio album ‘The Spirit.’
“The diversity in styles and genres is high and I experimented with elements of classical music and spoken word too. I hope this album can serve as a soundtrack for road trips, holidays and other fun times with friends and family. And lastly, I hope it inspires and connects people.”
This comes as no surprise as he was raised in a music-centric home by an opera singing mother and jazz enthusiast father, Bakermat’s formative years were spent gathering inspiration from some of music’s most pure sounds.
The genesis of his career came to fruition in 2012 with the release of his single “One Day (Vandaag)” which sent a tidal wave through the dance music landscape topping charts and accumulating over 100M streams.
His style encompasses several musical worlds and influences. The lead single “Ain’t Nobody,” featuring gospel luminary LaShun Pace was a delectable house-infused single.
Since his impressive debut, Bakermat has garnered a towering fan base dedicated to his upbeat, funky-fresh, and inventive sound-design. A force both on-stage and in the studio, Bakermat’s live sets are a sight to behold.
In the past few years, Bakermat expressed his multi-talented nature by his own circus events in London, Paris, New York, and Rio de Janeiro as well as performing at festivals like Tomorrowland, Airbeat One Festival, and other big-league festivals from across the globe.
An artist and performer for music fans from all walks of life, Bakermat is a creator for modern culture.
