TREi - TREi - 'Innuendo' album Review

22 Oct 2009 // A review by JohnS
Drum 'n' Bass, There is the good and then there is the bloody awful. Lucky for all your Peeps, The new album from TREi is banging!

Wellington producer TREi (Trevor Linnell) has just released 'Innuendo', A wondrous blend of blazing beats and a wide array of tunes which differs from the normal instrumental mix with a splash of lyrics thrown in to make it a song.

TREi does get a verity of assistance from State of Mind, Wellington singer Lisa Tomlins and others making this a excellent album to get out and through yourself into ciaos.

'Thunder Biscuit' (Feat. State of Mind) combines day with night in this is batted out number with a very similar track in 'The Other Part Of Me' which has a lighter tone.

This album keeps you going without having that dogey track you need to skip over every time it comes on. Once in the player you can leave on your play-list for good. This is one album that keeps your mouth watering for more.

This is a very good buy, Add to your collection today
 

About TREi

TREi, AKA Trevor Linnell, has been a leader in the drum and bass scene down under since 2007. With a slew of producers coming from Australia and New Zealand including Pendulum, ShockOne, State of Mind and Concord Dawn, TREi has made a name for himself with releases on prestigious labels such as: Viper Recordings, Technique, Commercial Suicide, SOM Music, Shogun Ltd, Samurai Music, and Uprising Recordings.

2013 saw the release of his much anticipated second album, Satellites (on State of Mind’s SOM Music imprint), released to much acclaim. Packed with hard hitting beats, progressive rollers, and proven Dancefloor smashers including the singles Change Your Mind (with Thomas Oliver), Homecoming (with MC Tali) and Running (also with Thomas Oliver), as well as collaborations with The Upbeats and State of Mind. Continuing on from where 2009’s highly acclaimed debut Innuendo left off, Satellites has propelled TREi even further into the musical stratosphere.

TREi’s association with Viper Recordings goes back to 2011 where he made his debut on the label with the single The Light / Mumbo Jumbo and a series of tracks featured on various Viper compilations including Habituated and Placebo, as well as his first Beatport #1 with the smash hit Seeds in 2014. Following the success of Seeds, TREi released another huge track with Viper in the form of his remix of Tali’s Forces from Viper’s Decade of Viper 10 year anniversary album.

Nervous Doll Dancing - Eidolon - Album Review
09 Sep 2012 // by JohnS
Nervous Doll Dancing is a new name to me, which came as a surprise. I consider myself to have an above average knowledge of kiwi musicians and I’m always a little taken back when I haven’t heard of someone who is this talented before.

It’s hard not to pick an album and solo judge the music inside by its cover. It’s the whole basis of trying something new, Do you like the look of them, are they wearing the latest fashions or even the classic do I know that guy?
