Bart and
Baker are two venerable
French DJ/
Producers who are a favourite of celebrities like
Dita Von Teese,
Marc Jacobs or
Max Raabe.
There are many dj's playing retro style music but what makes Bart&Baker; so unique is that they were the first back in
2005 to be able to mix old records with new, remix and revive old
1920's music, scratching
1940's and 50's tracks and generally making new dance music from a vintage source.
As Bart&Baker; says, "we pride ourselves on reinvention, using elements that already exist like vintage music, performance styles and costume so we were able to please or uncover the swing music shades of rhythms to both vintage fans and modern kids".
Bart&Baker; has already released 4 compilations on
Wagram Music, all available in shops and online :
-
Swing Party, sold more than 10,
000 copies worlldwide
