Josh Baker returns with new 4-track club EP ‘Breaking Point’
Josh Baker returns to his YOU&ME imprint with the surprise release of his four-track ‘Breaking Point’ EP, arriving at a landmark moment in the Manchester DJ/producer’s biggest year to date.
The release lands as Baker prepares for his biggest UK festival weekend to date, with a performance on the brand new Gallery Stage at Reading & Leeds Festival before heading to Creamfields, where he’ll play second only to Calvin Harris on the Arc Stage.
Title track ‘Breaking Point’ is highly anticipated amongst fans, driven by a hypnotic synth lead that has become a standout moment on the Amnesia Terrace throughout Josh’s ‘YOU&ME’ Ibiza residency. Built for the peak-time dancefloor, the instrumental has quickly established itself as one of the most sought after records in Josh’s sets, with its driving production and instantly recognisable lead making it a defining sound of his summer.
‘Over You’, a collaboration featuring the silky, ethereal vocals of London-based artist LEILAH, has also become a key fixture in Baker’s live sets, opening major shows throughout the summer including Parklife and Belsonic in Belfast. Combining Baker’s club-focused production with LEILAH’s delicate vocals, the track sets the tone for the EP with an emotive but euphoric energy designed for big-room moments.
‘House With Acres’ featuring the inimitable voice of rapper Capo Lee has been circulating for well over a year, with Baker exploring UK garage and speed garage influences compounded by a growling bassline and Capo’s singalong bars “big money ball like lakers, get me a house with acres”. Rounding off the EP, ‘Your Star’ sees Baker team up with Anabel Englund, taking the acclaimed vocalist back towards the underground roots that defined her emergence alongside Hot Natured during the 2010s deep house movement – a scene that Baker himself grew up on.
The release arrives at the height of a breakthrough summer for Baker’s YOU&ME brand, with his Ibiza residency at Amnesia emerging as one of the standout parties of the season. The residency has delivered multiple sell-outs and opened a second room on all but one of its weeks, welcoming a heavyweight roster of talent including Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati, Luciano, KETTAMA, Max Dean, SAOIRSE, Enzo Siragusa, Eliza Rose, Interplanetary Criminal, Moxie, Shanti Celeste, Peach and L.P. Rhythm.
Across release weekend, Baker invites Luuk van Dijk and Olive F B2B Eliza Rose to play for YOU&ME at Amnesia before taking his sound to two of the UK’s biggest festivals. At Reading & Leeds, he’ll perform on the brand new Gallery Stage, an undercover immersive space featuring LED screen lighting and production running throughout the stage. Baker will appear alongside a diverse bill including Geese, Skye Newman, KETTAMA, Chris Stussy and Holly Humberstone amongst others. He’ll then head to Creamfields to take second billing on the Arc mainstage, playing directly beneath Calvin Harris.
Looking ahead to the autumn clubbing season, Baker’s brings YOU&ME home to make history with a two-night takeover of Manchester’s Warehouse Project in October, becoming the first artist to take over the venue for two consecutive nights. The first night sold out in just five minutes, with Baker set to headline both shows alongside a huge lineup featuring Prospa, Enzo Siragusa B2B Chloe Caillet, Seth Troxler, Shanti Celeste B2B Sally C, Franky Rizardo and more. Later that month, Baker will headline Gashouder in Amsterdam on the Friday of ADE weekend, with Sammy Virji taking over the following day.
Baker’s global schedule continues into the final months of 2026, with Baker this week announcing a November North America headline tour including shows at Sears Outdoor LA, Beach House San Diego, Mission Ballroom Denver, Radius Chicago, HISTORY Toronto and kicking it all off with two sold out nights at Substation Seattle. Earlier in November, Baker wraps his LIV Las Vegas residency. This will be his sixth and final North American run of shows of 2026, having already played standout shows including Coachella, Factory Town Miami, Brooklyn Storehouse Headline and Arc Festival.
With ‘Breaking Point’, Baker returns to YOU&ME with four tracks that showcase the breadth of his sound, from peak-time house and underground club influences to UKG, speed garage and vocal-led dancefloor cuts. As his biggest summer yet reaches its climax, the EP arrives as a statement of intent from one of the UK’s most exciting new-generation electronic artists.
