Nasser Baker debuts on Green Velvet’s Relief Records as he reveals his latest EP entitled ‘Bodytude’.

A rising artist with a sound and musical taste well beyond his years, Nasser Baker has quickly become a core piece at the centre of Dennis Ferrer’s high-flying Objectivity imprint, and under the tutelage of the legendary label boss, the New Jersey based artist has shot into the limelight with a string of releases on the label, whilst also making appearances via the likes of Circus Records, Suara, Nervous and more. Next up, November signals the latest addition to his growing catalogue as he touches down on Green Velvet’s iconic Relief Records for a debut appearance armed with two fresh cuts in the form of his ‘Bodytude’ EP.

Title track ‘Bodytude’ opens the EP is fine style as Baker combines infectious lead synth with hooky male vocals and bumping low-end tones to reveal a lively cut typical of his ever-maturing production style, whilst ‘Pickelhollaback’ introduces a more off-kilter arrangement as layered vocal samples work alongside soaring melodies, driving percussion arrangements and sporadic bleeps and sonic effects go to work to shape up proceedings.
