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, "184602" (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 House Of 909 label that he released all his early productions. Loveys' music caught the attention of Richard Breeden, manager at the legendary TRIBAL United Kingdom label, and then the UK arm of Pagan, and it was this label that gave Loveys the chance to record his first album "144469" (1997). The album put Loveys on the deep house map, and it attained album of the month in publications Muzik Magazine and DJ Magazine, not to mention features in the NME, Music Week, and i-D Magazine.
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 Omid Nourizadeh (aka 16B)'s label Alola. He then started to collaborate with his bass playing friend Chris Pedley to create the album "11157" (1999), which crossed the boundaries from deep house and electro, to broken beat and downtempo – being made album of the month in magazine Ministry.
Loveys continues to develop his sound, and working on projects for various labels including Ephemoral Recordings, Loungin' Recordings, as well as the Freerange Records, along with his Soul Sides project that he is working on with producer Solid Groove.
Loveys also runs a monthly "Soul Sides" club night in the Consortium Club, Bournemouth, UK as well as with guesting at Freerange Records and Front Room Recordings club nights across London, UK.
