In the space of less than four short years, acclaimed DJ / Producer TREi has risen to the heights of New Zealand's flourishing Drum'n'Bass scene. Now, having caught the attention of the best Drum'n'Bass luminaries on earth, TREi is emerging as a global Drum'n'Bass force.
TREi has developed a solid reputation as a leading club DJ and music maker on the New Zealand dance circuit;
known for his seamless mixing and infectious dance-floor vibes, TREi is a regular at some of the country’s best known Drum’n’Bass sessions including New Zealand’s longest running club night Bass Frontiers; and has played all over New Zealand and overseas in his own right as well as with some of the biggest acts in the international arena including Andy C, Hype, Pendulum, Zinc, Friction, Concord Dawn, Digital, and Mampi Swift.
TREi's production talents match the mixing, with his music featuring regularly on the playlists of top Drum'n'Bass DJs including State of Mind, Bailey, Marky, Logistics, Black Sun Empire, Digital, Sigma, Klute, Friction and Andy C.
In 2006, TREi released his first 12” ’Catscratch‘/’Big Mouth’ on Random Recordings and since then has worked up a solid catalog of releases including the highly anticipated release of ‘Day Away’ on Black Sun Empire’s Obsessions Label and breakthrough track ‘Valium Express’ (w/Dose & Menace) on Commercial Suicide which featured in Andy C’s Cover mount CD for Mixmag’s December 2007 Edition.
Now with forthcoming releases on Critical Music, Shogun Ltd, Commercial Suicide, Samurai Music, Incite Recordings, Revolution Recordings and Marky’s Innerground all receiving huge support from some of the biggest names in Drum’n’Bass. Add to that; a Debut Album in the pipeline for early 2009 on NZ’s Samurai Music, TREi is set to launch his sound on a truly global level.
