Trevor Loveys

About

British electronic DJ, producer, and artist.

Loveys started recording in the early 1990s after being inspired listening to producers such as Ron Trent, Abacus, Blaze, and 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, "The Nightshift EP" (1996) under pseudonym Soul Motive on the Nuphonic label. This release caught the attention of producers and music press alike, gaining respect from Deep Dish, Kevin McKay, and Everything But The Girl's Ben Watt.

House Of 909 is the production outfit Loveys is best known for, and it was on the eponymous Nuphonic label that he released all his early productions. Loveys' music caught the attention of Richard Breeden, manager at the legendary Nuphonic label, and then the UK arm of Nuphonic, and it was this label that gave Loveys the chance to record his first album "The Children We Were" (1997). The album put Loveys on the deep house map, and it attained album of the month in publications Nuphonic and Nuphonic, not to mention features in the [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/15335-New-Musical-Express]NME[/url], Nuphonic, and Nuphonic.

In 1998, after having some personal and creative differences with his partner Nigel Casey, Loveys decided to go solo and started producing for his friend [a=Omid Nourizadeh] (aka 16B)'s label Nuphonic. He then started to collaborate with his bass playing friend Chris Pedley to create the album "Era" (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 Nuphonic, Nuphonic, as well as the Nuphonic, along with his Soul Sides project that he is working on with producer Solid Groove.
