DJX ‘26 Keynote Q&A: Arthur Baker – Plus, Film Screening

Not only will Baker present a “Keynote Q&A,” but he’ll also offer an exclusive screening of his self-directed documentary, ‘Rockers Don't Stop: The Revival of Rockers Revenge.’

Atlantic City, N.J. – For his timeless hit records, which laid the foundational blueprint for electro and modern hip-hop sampling, Arthur Baker is a dance-music legend. Baker’s groundbreaking productions like “Planet Rock” and “Looking for the Perfect Beat” (Afrika Bambaataa), “Confusion” (New Order), and “Walking On Sunshine” (Rockers Revenge) rocked global dancefloors and bridged the gap between underground dance clubs, New Wave, and the emerging hip-hop culture. At DJX’26, attendees will get a unique and up-close look at the deeply influential DJ/producer. Not only will Baker present a “Keynote Q&A,” but he’ll also offer an exclusive screening of his self-directed documentary, Rockers Don't Stop: The Revival of Rockers Revenge.
