Baker Boy To Release Deluxe Edition of Sophomore Album 'DJANDJAY'

Ahead of his appearance at the 2026 National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs) this weekend, Baker Boy has revealed he is releasing a deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed sophomore album, DJANDJAY, out Friday 21 August via Island Records/Universal Music Australia.

The rerelease includes two previously unreleased songs, 'YOLŊU FEVER' and 'DISAPPEAR', with the latter a collaboration with rapper, dancer, beatboxer and producer BVT, alongside the recently released 'CURSE'.

"Releasing a deluxe can feel like an afterthought; for me, it was more about time and space with the music; it was about building the live show and performing the tracks, and I just kept coming back to three demos that felt like they lived in the world of DJANDJAY. I couldn't leave them behind; I can't take them into the next era. They make DJANDJAY whole," explains Baker Boy.

"Working on an album is a weird process; you create so many demos and ideas, and it gets to a point where you have to let most of them go, I had easy 100 plus demos for DJANDJAY, but some tracks just need more space and that time away from the studio really opened me up to what the final three tracks needed."

To celebrate the release of DJANDJAY (Deluxe), Baker Boy is giving fans the chance to hear his new music live at a free event presented by Vodafone Music. Fans can enter to win a double pass to the intimate performance via a special ticket giveaway HERE
