Trevor Loveys

British electronic DJ, producer, and artist. Loveys started recording in the early 1990s after being inspired listening to producers such as [a=Ron Trent], [a=Abacus], [a=Blaze], and [a=Masters At Work]. He taught himself keyboards and drum programming after buying a synth and Akai sampler and after spending a year developing his sound and production skills he released his first single, "[m=184602]" (1996) under pseudonym [a=Soul Motive] on the [l=Nuphonic] label. This release caught the attention of producers and music press alike, gaining respect from [a=Deep Dish], [a=Kevin Mckay], and [a=Everything But The Girl]'s [a=Ben Watt]. [a=House Of 909] is the production outfit Loveys is best known for, and it was on the eponymous [l=House Of 909] label that he released all his early productions. Loveys' music caught the attention of [a=Richard Breeden], manager at the legendary [l=TRIBAL United Kingdom] label, and then the UK arm of [l=Pagan], and it was this label that gave Loveys the chance to record his first album "[m=144469]" (1997). The album put Loveys on the deep house map, and it attained album of the month in publications [l=Muzik Magazine] and [l=DJ Magazine], not to mention features in the [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/15335-New-Musical-Express]NME[/url], [l=Music Week], and [l=i-D Magazine]. In 1998, after having some personal and creative differences with his partner [a=Nigel Casey], Loveys decided to go solo and started producing for his friend [a=Omid Nourizadeh] (aka [a=16B])'s label [l=Alola]. He then started to collaborate with his bass playing friend [a=Chris Pedley] to create the album "[m=11157]" (1999), which crossed the boundaries from deep house and electro, to broken beat and downtempo – being made album of the month in magazine [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/4162-Ministry-Magazine]Ministry[/url]. Loveys continues to develop his sound, and working on projects for various labels including [l=Ephemoral Recordings], [l=Loungin' Recordings], as well as the [l=Freerange Records], along with his [a=Soul Sides] project that he is working on with producer [a=Solid Groove].
