In this electrifying episode of When I Grow Up, Paul Glazby sits down with the legendary and elusive figure of the hard house scene, Baby Doc. Known for shaping the sound of a generation alongside John the Dentist and others, Baby Doc lifts the veil on decades of dancefloor domination, sonic innovation, and wild studio sessions.

Recorded between Berlin and memory lane, this episode dives deep into the origins of hard house, trade club nights, and the unexpected magic that happens when you don’t overthink it. From tracks like “Injected with a Poison” and “Never Lost His Hardcore” to the iconic remix of “Age of Love,” Baby Doc shares stories of broken studio rules, last-minute masterpieces, and how a dodgy string still managed to set a crowd alight.

Paul and Baby Doc reminisce about the early days of the scene, the influence of Trade, the thrill of hearing their tune in a passing car, and how their ADHD brains were both a curse and a superpower in music creation. They touch on everything from analogue synths and remix politics to Berlin’s thriving scene today, and even where the name "Baby Doc" came from (spoiler: it wasn’t planned).

With heart, humour, and a wealth of history, this is a rare and intimate look at one of dance music’s great enigmas - a true artist who helped define the sound of a generation and continues to make waves across Europe today.
