House music has paved the way for Baby Rollén to carve something fresh; wanting to incorporate the influences of his early clubbing years, from jungle to garage into a broader and less pigeon-holed outlook on dancefloor music. His sound is massively influenced by early drum and bass artists like Peshay, A Guy Called Gerald and Good Looking Records / LTJ Bukem.. “this was the dance music I listened to when I was a young teen. Alongside a spread of techno and house music too. It’s become a melting pot of my influences all mangled into one another.”
