Keep On (Best's Friends Remixes) by Louis Baker

Renowned for his rich, soulful voice and heartfelt songwriting, Wellington, New Zealand's Louis Baker blends neo-soul, R&B, and folk into a sound that feels both timeless and fresh.

His single "Keep On" is an uplifting anthem of perseverance, now reimagined by a hand-picked selection of acclaimed producers, each bringing their unique touch to the track.

Daniel W. Best first heard Louis Baker, a New Zealand-based soul singer, perform "Keep On" as the opening act for Fat Freddy's Drop at the Tempodrom in Berlin in 2024. He knew he wanted to create a remix package of the song. Part 1 on Best Works featured Andre Lodemann, Philippa, and Hollis P. Monroe, while Part 2 of the remix package on Best's Friends Music features remixes by Delfonic, Larse, and Gush Collective.

German DJ and producer Larse has released on acclaimed labels such as Defected, Glitterbox, and Noir Music, earning a global reputation for timeless, emotive house. His remix of "Keep On" channels the smooth, sultry elegance of UK soul icon Sade’s ’80s sound - lush, classy, and built for late-night listening.

Berlin’s Delfonic is a digger’s digger - a selector, DJ, and producer with an encyclopedic ear for groove. Fresh from delivering stunning Roy Ayers edits for BBE Music, he brings his soulful touch to "Keep On", crafting a warm, deep, and floor-friendly rework.

The legendary German 2-step producers Gush Collective are masters of soulful, shuffling rhythms. Their remix of "Keep On" blends classic UK garage swing with uplifting melodies, delivering a dancefloor-ready cut that radiates joy and energy.

Louis Baker is one of New Zealand’s most compelling voices in modern soul. Hailing from Newtown, Wellington, Baker crafts timeless songs with rich vocals, honest lyricism, and deep grooves rooted in soul, R&B, and jazz. His breakout came early selected from 4,000 global applicants to attend the Red Bull Music Academy in New York, taking part in lectures with legends like Just Blaze, Q-Tip, and Brian Eno. Since then, Baker has made an indelible mark with multiple APRA Silver Scroll nominations (including the standout single Back on My Feet) and a self-titled EP that hit #3 on the NZ charts. His debut album Open (2019) and follow-up EP Love Levitates (2021) drew global acclaim, amassing over 56 million Spotify streams and praise from the likes of India.Arie and Rolling Stone.

Live, he’s equally at home in intimate clubs or grand concert halls performing with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, touring across Europe, the UK, and Australasia, and appearing at international festivals including Sziget and Sonar. Deeply connected to his Māori roots (Ngāpuhi), Baker infuses his music with heritage, hope, and heart.
