Josh Baker Just Dropped the Anthem of the Year (And It’s Only January)

If you’ve been anywhere near a dance floor in the last six months, you’ve probably heard that bassline. You know the one—the soaring vocal, the garage-tinted swing, and the kind of energy that makes a room feel like it’s about to lift off.

After months of being the “ID” everyone was chasing in his sets, Josh Baker has finally unleashed “Feel This Way.” Teaming up with Sheffield’s garage wunderkind Silva Bumpa and the powerhouse vocals of Paige Cavell, Baker has delivered something rare: a club track that works just as well in your car as it does at 3:00 AM in a warehouse.

The Perfect Collaboration

This isn’t just another generic house tune. It’s a collision of three distinct worlds that somehow fits together perfectly:

• The Baker Groove: You get that signature, crisp percussion that has made Josh a staple at DC-10 and Boiler Room.

• The Silva Bumpa Swing: There’s a grit and a “wobble” here that feels like a nod to the UK’s rich garage heritage.

• The Paige Cavell Factor: Paige has a knack for writing hooks that get stuck in your head on the first listen. Her performance here elevates the track from a “DJ tool” to a genuine pop-electronic crossover.

Why It Hits Different

What makes “Feel This Way” stand out is its restraint. It doesn’t rely on cheap drops or overused samples. Instead, it builds a mood. It’s nostalgic for the 90s but feels firmly planted in 2026. Whether you’re catching Josh on his current tour through Australia or waiting for his massive Belsonic headline set in Belfast this summer, this is the track that’s going to define his year.

Track Breakdown: “Feel This Way”

• Vibe: Euphoric, driving, and effortlessly cool.

• Best Played: High volume, windows down, or in the middle of a packed crowd.

• Key Moment: When the bass kicks back in after Paige’s first big vocal breakdown.

The Verdict: Josh Baker is no longer “one to watch”—he’s the one setting the pace. “Feel This Way” is a masterclass in how to make electronic music feel human, soulful, and heavy all at once.

Catch Him Live

If you want to experience this track the way it was intended, catch Josh at YES in Manchester for his BRITs Week show on February 25. It’s a tiny venue for an artist this big, and all the proceeds go to War Child—it’s a win-win.
