Baker’s production career started off with a few disco recording sessions in Boston. Legendary disco remixer Tom Moulton, who was signed to Casablanca at the time, was required to release an album of his own as part of the deal for working for the label. Tom’s brother Jerry came across the sessions written and recorded by Baker, Tony Carbone, and Larry Wedgeworth and bought them in a deal from Baker. Moulton then remixed the tracks and released them as his 1979 album “T.J.M” Baker talked about the album in an interview with Red Bull Music Academy in 2012.

Baker went on to work for hip-hop label Tommy Boy Records, where he produced Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force’s “Planet Rock” single, which was a hit in the summer of 1982. The record combined elements from two Kraftwerk recordings, “Trans Europe Express” and “Numbers,” which were interpolated by studio musicians, rather than sampled. Later that year, using unused tracks from “Planet Rock, he later produced Planet Patrol’s “Play at Your Own Risk” single in 1982, another group with a hit album in 1983.
