Keith has been DJing for the last 11 years and producing, on and off, for the last 4. As with most, he started out by DJing in his own back yard - Coventry - and gradually went further a field to venues like the legendary “Milk Bar” - London, the “House” & later the “Garage” club in Nottingham, Bonds in Birmingham & KU Club in Tele-Aviv, Israel. Though it was during his early days of DJing, at a local venue in Coventry, that he hooked up with fellow Coventry kid Mick Park (Tilt, Parks and Wilson). Having the same musical tastes they became friends and went on to produce together (with Mick Wilson) as Ritmo Rivals project.

Shortly after this Keith decided to take time out of the music business to set up home, but as they say “you can take the kid out of music but you can’t take the music out of the kid”...eh!!!!! (Well something like that anyway!). So Towards the end of ‘99 the plan was hatched and Keith & Mick began work on setting up baroque records. Keith left his job as an engineer to look after the running of the label, they signed Odessi ‘Moments of Space’ and the rest is history.

As a DJ Keith plays “a solid selection of deep/tech & and progressive house” and on the production side works under his ‘Innate’ guise, reflecting - he hopes - the quality of his now established & influential Coventry counterparts Tilt and Quivver with his own tuff and twisted sound. Already planned for the year 2000 is the re-release of his ‘innate’ - ‘changes’ track - now signed to Platipus - following it’s massive success on baroque, with support from all the usual suspects. It’s inclusion on various compilations (including the ‘Home’ CD mixed by Steve Lawler) and being used twice in Parks & Wilson’s Essential mix on Radio 1 helped raise the Innate profile.

Keith will also be going over to America for two weeks in October for a collaboration with Bill Hamel of Sunkissed Records @ his studio in Orlando. He has just finished an Innate remix of the classic God Within - ‘Raincry’ for Dorigen Music - due for release at the end of the year and has follow up Innate tracks due on both his own baroque imprint & Platipus in 2001.

On the DJing side a baroque tour is in progress with dates in Israel, Scotland & Ireland, Australia and Canada as well as the UK. On top of all this he’ll be working hard to build up baroque records, it’s artists and it’s profile, Hopefully taking it to the top of DJs record boxes!
