_________________________[ Release Notes ]________________________
Baby Ford is one of a few DJs and producers whose name truly
encapsulates the word: legend. As a vanguard of the acid house
movement, the Bolton born artist has continuously demonstrated a
style and an approach to his craft thatÆs widely revered by
electronic music connoisseurs the world over. The release of the
influential æOochy KoochyÆ 12ö back in 1988 might have given the
industry their first taste of his production, but FordÆs gone on
to steadily amass a vast catalogue of music that straddles every
conceivable crevice of the house and techno genres in the years
since.
To date heÆs released four studio albums and a plethora of solo
and collaborative efforts û including Minimal Man and his esteemed
studio partnership with Thomas Melchior as Soul Capsule û on
iconic imprints such as Rhythm King, Force Inc. and Rephlex, as
well as his own labels Ifach, Trelik and Pal SL. Over the 27 years
since his defining debut (and 10 years since he first played here
at fabric) Ford has certainly maintained a stratospheric standard,
which permeates the DNA of his long awaited fabric 85 mix.
"The mix was recorded at the Ifach studio right here in London. I
borrowed an E&S DJR400 rotary mixer from a friend and then I just
picked a bunch of my favourite records - some were new tracks,
some in-house productions and some classics. Then I pressed record
and went for a take; a ægood luck studioÆ type of vibe with me
trying to capture the moment in the mix." Baby Ford
What Ford crafts is a largely unhurried mix of cultish house
grooves and exceptional contemporary techno. A rare illustration
of the manÆs vast experience as a DJ, the 15 track mix perfectly
captures his dancefloor dynamic as he interweaves tracks old and
new, twisting classics like Pal JoeyÆs æSpend The NightÆ and
DimbimanÆs æLavaÆ around epochal modern cuts like Joy OrbisonÆs
æEllipsisÆ and Alex CellerÆs æHazÆ. Simultaneously, Ford finds the
space to flaunt the quality and design of his own material,
opening the mix with his Ifach Collective collaboration, æCarpetÆ
and concluding with his as yet unreleased æNYO15Æ.
