In a sense, Baby T allows Brianna Price to go back to the start. While Price’s successful DJ/production career as B.Traits has demonstrated her love for so many different kinds of club music, as a teenager she cut her teeth at jungle raves. When operating as Baby T she zeroes in on the hardcore principles learned in those early days behind the decks.
However, Baby T is more than just Price rekindling an old passion. This project also expresses something innate to her artistic vision, a need to make bold, dark, visceral work. As Baby T, Price flips the buoyancy of B.Traits’ music into something far moodier - in her own words, “B.Traits is more the front-facing ego, and Baby T is what’s been sitting in the shadows.”
The early Baby T releases have synthesised a wide range of sounds into an instantly recognisable sonic aesthetic. At the core of Portra, Baby T’s debut EP (Samurai Music, May 2020), and her I Against I EP (Central Processing Unit) is a form of drum ‘n’ bass schooled in the darkside style of legendary labels like Metalheadz. From here Price moves outwards to bring bassweight techno, dystopian electro, acid and dark ambient into play. The resulting tunes are the sort of things you drop when the dance is getting murky.
As Baby T, Brianna Price (B.Traits) reconnects with her junglist past in order to inspire her present. “I played faster back then,” she says, “and that's where I'm going back to with Baby T - but this time I'm not 18, and I have zero fucks to give."
