baby ford aka peter ford is one of the most recognizable names in current dancefloor techno and was 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.

with ian loveday he 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.
