Baroque Records boast a long and impressive discography, with some of the hottest artists around gracing the label since it's conception at
the turn of the millennium. At the helm of the project is Keith McDonnell, and while he's best known for his label management, has also been known to grace
the production studios himself. 'Child's Play' is a tough and chunky house-e affair, and comes to us with an edit from Keith's alter-ego, 'Innate'.
Following on from Baroque's recent trend of offering tough, electro infused house music whilst still retaining their trademark progressive
backbone, the Original starts with monstrous drums and driving bass. As each of the several layers unfold, an impressive wall of sound is forged, with trippy
elements fusing with acidic twists and evolving analog synths.These melodic elements hold their own alongside the pumping undercarriage of four-four beats and
sharp hats, creating a solid piece of progressive house music of which fans of the sound are finding increasingly difficult to track down.
The Innate Edit adopts a contrasting approach with an almost trancy feel. Layer upon layer of interesting melodic twists and growling arpeggios and synths
are once again present, but in truth, resemblance to the original isn't instantly apparent.The track is well arranged, and throughout it's seven and half
minutes manages to retain interest support from some of the house-ier heads here..
Digweed, Desyn Masiello, Cattaneo and the innate mix finding favour with the likes of Van Dyk, D-nox, Klienenberg and Nick Warren
