Who is Loveys? It sounds like he could be a vicar who skips and sings through life whilst producing soulful beats on the side, all of which is true. Except the vicar bit. And it wouldn't be right for me to speak on behalf of Trev in his skipping and singing exploits.
His recent single release on the 19th of October called 'Organ Grinder' shifts from nu-jazz enthused melodies of the past to a more electro-pop outlook, suiting the current dancefloor trends of today. His previous album released in 2005, 'Selected Singles And Remixes', is a collection of his own tunes put through a very cool remix machine leaving a silky, soulful outcome that sounds like it takes inspiration from the Masters At Work. It hosts Hipp-e's Full Mix of 'The Bounce' that samples the brilliant sound of Jazzanova's 'Our Time Is Coming' as well as another lazy summertime lick of soul called 'Elevate Your Mind'.
After swapping records labels over the years he now sits comfortably in Cheap Thrills, under which the new single is released. Though in recent years his most notorious venture is that of being teamed with Solid Groove to create an array of funky, edgy remixes under the guise of Switch.
So from downtempo, to deep house to dancefloor electro, Loveys is an established producer who has me anticipating his 2nd solo album release. Below is one of his finest solo tunes as mentioned above 'Elevate Your Mind'. For more of his stuff check out Kraak & Smaak's 'Squeeze Me', 'The Bounce' and 'Turn It Up'.
