- The prolific English producer will release a double-disc mix chronicling his wide range of musical styles later this month.
Trevor Loveys is set to release his first ever commercial mix later this month.
He may not be as well known has his frequent collaborators Dave Taylor or Herve, but there's no doubting that Loveys was one of the main forces to put the jacking style of house music now known as "fidget" on the map. However, that's just one of the strings to his bow, as he started off in the mid-'90s producing lush deep house tracks as House Of 909, taking plenty of inspiration from Chicago and Detroit sounds. With so many productions to choose from, Loveys decided to use the compilation to collect and mix his own productions, with a focus on his more recent material.
"I didn't really want it to be all of the upfront tunes of the moment only to date in a few months, and I really wanted it to reflect me and my sound over the last few years, even going back to when me and Dave Taylor started Switch, through to my productions with Joshua Harvey as Speaker Junk, Jesse Rose as Izit and Chris Belsey as Li'l Bo Tweak," he informs us. The first disc concentrates on the cut-up maximalist house sound that he helped popularise, while CD2 is slightly more restrained. "I wanted to put together a bit more of the deeper side of my sound," Loveys explains. "I guess it's where it all began for me, growing up listening to Blaze, Chez Damier and Ron Trent."
