Baby Ford makes experimental minimal techno and is one of the founders of the U.K acid house scene. He's released records under a slew of pseudonyms, including Casino Classix, El Mal, Solcyc and his most frequent, Baby Ford. His early work - heavily influenced by the late-'80s acid house sound, as well as Chicago producers such as Marshall Jefferson, Ron Trent, Armando, and Larry Heard - appeared primarily through the Rhythm King label, and included classic cuts such as ‘Oochy Koochy’, ‘Children of the Revolution’, and ‘Fetish’. Material has also appeared on Sire, Source, and Insumision/Transglobal. He's released four full-length albums to date, including the debut ‘Fordtrax’ (a staple of most techno DJs) and 1997's ‘Headphone Easyrider’, one of his more listener-friendly albums. His recent work has appeared mostly through Trelik and Ifach - two of the U.K.'s most highly regarded techno labels, and both of which Ford has a hand in managing (Trelik together with Eon's Ian Loveday, Ifach with Mark Broom). He collaborates with Thomas Melchior as Soul Capsule and as Sunpeople. . With Ian Loveday he has collaborated on a number of projects (including Minimal Man), both for Trelik. Less active as a remixer, Ford has reconfigured tracks for Stefan Robbers' Florence project and pop techno group S'Express, among others.
