Babymorocco

AKA: Clayton Pettet

This is Babymorocco: swaggy, sexy, supercharged. He’s the living, breathing feeling of being 12-deep in a basement club you charged in through the back. He has at least one plan locked for the ascendant next phase of his solo career: “I want to go absolutely insane with it.” His debut LP Amour is a breathless gust of 2010s trash-pop couture, 2-step, happy hardcore, French electro, proto-EDM and utter BPM madness out December 6 on True Panther (as the origin story goes: “I signed to an indie label and made them go pop”). By the time the 18 no-filler tracks on Amour, executive produced by Frost Children with assists from dear cupid., have barreled by, there’s no mistaking Rocco for anything short of a club innovator and pop saboteur.
