baby ford	ifach	trelik	pal sl

this site is dedicated to the various projects and labels of peter ford aka baby ford who did acid and vocal house records by the end of the eighties and at the beginning of the nineties, releasing two albums 'ford trax' and 'ooo-the world of baby ford' as well as several singles such as the acid house anthem 'oochy koochy', 'chikki chikki ahh ahh', t.rex cover version 'children of the revolution' and the vocal house stomper 'beach bump'.

in the year of 1992, he went into a new direction, producing a more reduced and experimental style and offering a definition of minimal and yet deep and soulful techno / house music with his third album 'bford9'. during that period, the first collaboration with ian loveday (eon) was done, which was continued later on as 'minimal man'.

from 1994 on, peter set up three labels: ifach (with mark broom), trelik (which featured collaborations with ian loveday) and pal sl (an artist oriented label). with the releases on these labels as well as his album 'headphoneasy rider' (1997), he opened new dimensions in minimal techno, producing subtle and emotional, yet danceable, rhythmic and pumpin' music in an individual, outstanding style.

this site is split into four parts:

• the baby ford site with detailed information, track listings and cover scans of the records released under the monicker of 'baby ford', including the more recent releases on source, pal sl and rephlex. there's also a listing of other solo projects and collaborations.
• the ifach site which is the oldest one and thus contains most of the information on related artists and collaborators such as mark broom, steve pickton aka stasis, minimal man or ian loveday, to name just a few. there's also a complete discography of mark broom's labels pure plastic, rewired, 3zone and unxplored beats. the most extensive sub-site.
• the trelik site, which contains a complete discography and a minimal man discography, as the collaboration peter ford / ian loveday is an important part of this more dancefloor - oriented label.
• the pal sl site (newest) with a label discography, birds artwork and info and links to the labels of the artists who have done records on peter's third outlet.
