Dick Trevor – 10 Essential Tracks

Dick Trevor (aka Dickster) is a British veteran artist/producer/DJ that needs no introduction. His involvement with music production started while he was studying sound engineering at college in the UK. In 1994, Dick initially teamed up with Matt Coldrick (a guitarist who later became a prolific ambient producer) thus forming the legendary project “Green Nuns Of The Revolution” -or G.N.O.T.R-.

After releasing a couple of tracks on TIP Records, Flying Rhino and DragonFly Records, Neil Cowley (who played keyboards for the Brand New Heavies and today has his own jazz trio) joined the project and started to bring more funk into the music.
While attending numerous major gigs around the globe, the G.N.O.T.R project continued releasing tracks on various compilations and even released one full length album in 1997 -Rock Bitch Mafia- on Flying Rhino Rec. In 1998, the pioneering Goa-Trance project was eventually abandoned which allowed Dick to start producing more actively with other artists.

Not limited to the Goa/Psychedelic genre, Dick Trevor’s contribution to the global electronic music scene for the past 20 years is undoubtedly immense.

Throughout the years, Dick proved his never-ending creativity by joining forces with numerous Psytrance/Goa-Trance pioneers and forming projects such as the “Bumbling Loons” (with James Monro), or “Slinky Nuns/Seeka” with George Barker. On Twisted Records, Dick did collaborations with Simon Posford as “Infernal Machine” and Tristan as “Trickster”. He also did a “Western Rebel Alliance Remix” track with Jules Evans for the Shpongle Remix album. On Phantasm Records, there were collaborations with Chris Boing as the “Bisto Boys” and John Ford as “Mindfield/Bisto Boys” and then with John’s son Junya (Eskimo) as “Jumanji”.

More recently, Dick joined forces with Gustavo Manfroni and formed the “Circuit Breakers” project and even teamed up with Ajja & Burn In Noise to form the “Infinitti Gritti” project.
In between producing music with other artists, he also focused on his solo project “Dickster” while actively attending almost every major event/festival around the globe. Not limited to the Goa/Psychedelic genre (he also produces Techno, House and Trance) Dick Trevor’s contribution to the global electronic music scene for the past 20 years is undoubtedly immense.
