Jerome Baker

In this 2016 feature for 5mag.net, author Terry Matthew interviews Jerome Baker (aka "DJ Boris", aka "Lord Damien"). In the process, some equipment is revealed:

At gigs, I had my drum machine of choice, the Boss DR-660, and I’d take it with me and play tracks off of that. Little did I know that Green Velvet, Caj, was at a party and heard one of these tracks. I went to the Cajual/Relief offices one day and Caj came out of the office and was like, “I know you!” We reintroduced ourselves and he mentioned that track I played at the gig. I said it was right on this tape here. He waved me into his office and I threw it in and that’s where the first Relief Records release came from – Black Damien as “DJ Boris.” It was just songs from my DR-660. “Apacalypse” was on there, and I think that’s probably still my biggest record. I know it’s one of my favorites. And it’s actually a re-do of an idea that was one of the tracks I let Gene hear that was “angry!” You can hear how angry “Apacalypse” is even now, but I had a much better arrangement on it. That’s how that EP ended up coming out.
