Two of the most elite names in DJing recently joined forces at The Sound Table for an exclusive live set on Red Bull Music Academy Radio. Mixing what sounds like 70s porno music with the very best of rhythm and funk that same decade had to offer, Cosmo Baker is already considered to be at the very forefront of his profession as a “world-renowned partymaker” — and a master of everything from electronica, disco, and someone whom other DJs have been quick to praise. Take DJ Jazzy Jeff, for instance, who was quick to point out that “when it comes to keeping the Philly Music tradition going, Cosmo has it locked. His knowledge is incredible and his Crates are deep and his passion and skills makes him one of my favs.”The man knows how to network to, having remixed everyone from Moby to Notorious B.I.G. Hailing from Philly, home of ?uestlove, King Britt, (and having been mentored by the latter), Cosmo Baker made enough of a name for himself to travel outside his hometown and meet up with two other industry legends. Kon and Amir, Cosmo’s current partners in crime, are clearly not ones to eschew their roots and origins in favor of current trends and flavor-of-the-week remixes; a philosophy that favors the old school over the new has earned them no fewer accolades than Baker himself: “Their compilations and mixtapes are classics and represent a style of Djing that’s true to the essence of Hip-Hop,” renowned DJing rag A-Trak states. See for yourself what all the hype is about below.
