The Sound of the Summer: Josh Baker & Poppy Baskcomb’s “My Place”

If you’ve been spending time in club or festival circles lately, you’ve almost certainly heard the hook to “My Place” echoing across the dancefloor. It’s been one of those “what is that track?” IDs that has been buzzing in DJ sets for months, and now, Manchester’s own Josh Baker has finally given it an official release.

Teaming up with the unmistakable voice of Poppy Baskcomb, this track is exactly the kind of energy we’ve been waiting for this summer.

Pure House Energy

Released on Baker’s own Bakers Dozen imprint, “My Place” doesn’t overcomplicate things. It leans into that classic, rolling house sound—warm basslines, sharp piano stabs, and a groove that feels just as right for a sunset terrace as it does for a peak-time club slot.

Poppy Baskcomb, who has already made a name for herself working with artists like Tiësto and Sonny Fodera, brings something special here. Her vocals are effortless and catchy, providing the kind of earworm hook that sticks with you long after the music stops. It’s a track designed to be sung along to, and honestly, the crowds have been doing just that since the first time Baker dropped it in a set.

A Summer to Remember

The timing couldn’t be better. Josh Baker is currently in the middle of his massive You&Me residency at Amnesia in Ibiza. If you’ve seen any clips from the island lately, you know the atmosphere is wild—so wild, in fact, that they’ve had to open up the Main Room just to handle the demand.

As Baker put it, this was one of those tracks that just clicked immediately. He and Poppy got into the studio, and within a few hours, the foundation for this anthem was already there. There was no need to overthink it; the energy was just right.

Why You’ll Have It On Repeat

Sometimes dance music tries too hard to be overly complex, but “My Place” proves that simplicity and soul win every time. It’s a feel-good record that captures that specific kind of magic that happens when a crowd is totally locked in with a DJ.
