Dimitris: In which TV series, film or advert would you like to experience your track being used? Which track was the best placed on films/TV series/advert/official aftermovie of a festival from another artist?
Baby Doc: Anything dark , I'm a huge John Carpenter fan so anything by him, but considering he makes all his own music that's unlikely to happen.
Dimitris: During 2022 we experienced many tracks that were hybrids of music styles & genres. Do believe that music genres or styles are still relevant today?
Baby Doc: I absolutely hate genres . the labels that put out only one style that sounds exactly like the same record they have put out time and time again are the ruin of club music.
These labels are generally run by people who came into the scene late and are too scared to rock any boats .
In the old days a label that put out just two records that sounded the same would have been laughed out of town now it sadly seems to be the norm.
I play what I like if I like it it goes in the set irrespective of 'genres'.
Dimitris: Do you have any concrete plans for 2023 regarding future releases, tracks, albums, collaborations, DJ gigs? Please provide us the juicy details.
Baby Doc: I have four remixes coming out early next year and my next album which I have started working on already.
I'm working my all live show playing only my own tracks without a deck in site .
Dimitris: Your message & wishes for 2023.
Baby Doc: Have a good time all of the time.
