Hailing from Leeds, the North of England’s House epicentre, Jacob ‘Holmes’ Kelly and Paul ‘Watz’ Hardy, are the two loveable pipe-smoking rogues behind both the respected UK House label ‘Baker Street Recordings’ (elementary my dears), and a slew of boompty dancefloor productions on quality imprints like 20:20 Vision, .dotbleep, Minority Music, Music For Freaks, Zeros and Ones, Lost My Dog, Kolour and of course Baker Street. Unsurprisingly, considering Paul’s day job at Ralph Lawson’s tiptop 20:20 Vision label and their mutual years in the business, Baker Street picks up very nicely from where Soloman and Carter’s ‘Classic’ left off; We’re talking a roster boasting Dubble D, Jacob London, Miles Maeda, Lil’ Mark, Phil Weeks, Leon Louder, Lee Mortimer, Pete Dafeet and of course our mighty sleuth-busting House duo. With an album dropping from Justin Harris and many tasty nuggets on the horizon, Leeds has never smelt sweeter in the afternoon. House fact, fact fans, Jacob spent 7 years in the army, dropping strange things out of planes – not bombs though, he drops those on the dancefloor.
