dru-1 'preshuh'
Out now in all digital platforms

dru-1’s “preshuh” was composed in the artist’s home of Trinidad during Carnival of 2024. Reflecting on the experiences and influences that shaped the record, UK-based artist Drew Lovett recalls inviting friends to stay with their family during the festivities, experiencing
overproof rum, pan bands, card games, and doubles. Community and a celebration of sociality seem to shimmer through the EP’s bass-ridden tracks, evident not-least in the prominent sound bites and vocals recorded on-site from those close to the artist during the Carnival.

The project unfolds across six tracks, each composition draped in FM synthesis and layered over gritty basslines. “preshuh” builds upon the vision realized in the artist’s debut project, a 4-track EP released on Why Be’s Yegorka in 2024. This record punches with more technical precision, making a mature statement that feels cohesive and intentional, while retaining its playful essence. Lovett collaborates with Marta Rosa on percussion for the final three tracks—“maco queen,” “palance,” and “a4s.”

Experienced in full, Lovett’s EP is a call to togetherness—a sonicvinvitation to gather, move, and celebrate without restraint. Infused
with the frenetic energy of the carnival where it was conceived, the project unapologetically embraces the dancefloor, urging bodies into
motion, and spirits into communion. Beneath its pulsating rhythms lies a deeper longing—not just for revelry, but for connection. In a world
still relearning the rhythms of closeness, it asks: How do we rebuild the spaces where joy and community once thrived?

RIP to my favourite painter Pierre Soulages 1919-2022. Had the pleasure of staying in Rodez to see his museum in his hometown, would recommend. His concept of light beyond chiaroscuro (outrenoir) and thick black impasto always made me happy to see on display, go to his museum if you get the chance, great to see his etchings and bronze casts too#pierresoulages
