Tim Baker

A classic of the techno and house scene. Born in Detroit, he spent over fifteen years behind the decks in clubs and events around the world, which took him to countries like the UK, Germany, and France. He played in iconic venues such as Tresor in Berlin , Florida 135 in Fraga —where he was a longtime regular—and Rex in Paris , as well as at festivals like Berlin's Love Parade . These travels inspired him to found his own techno label in his hometown, Elephanthaus Records. In 1998, he moved from Detroit to Chicago, and the move led him to create his house label, Real Estate Records, which blended the cutting-edge, futuristic funk of Detroit with the essence of the Chicago sound: the purest form of house music, which brought him success with the Future House Society series. His relationship with Spain, in addition to his countless visits to the north, became even closer in the late 90s with collaborations on emerging labels of that time, such as the Barcelona-based Minifunk and the Madrid-based Options, formerly in the Atlas orbit.

In the 21st century, he continued to enrich his labels' repertoire by discovering new, innovative, and creative talents, taking his music to new territories and showcasing his unique vision and sound to the world. His driving force remained the same: top-notch DJ performances, distinctive production, and quality music for the people. His legacy continues to resonate.
