Album of the week: September 18 – Dro Carey

September 18th 2020

Nothing Is A Solo Project is the long-awaited, shape-shifting debut record from Sydney producer Dro Carey. Traversing silky neo-soul, acid-inflected techno, UK Garage, euphoric, vocal-led house and more, Nothing Is A Solo Project is caught in a constant state of flux, an amorphous debut from a producer whose career has so far spanned countless releases and various artistic aliases. Seemingly allergic to categorisation, Eugene Ward brings this unfettered approach to his first full-length outing as Dro Carey, placing roaming ambient soundscapes up against collaborations featuring a carefully curated roster of underground singers. Dro Carey allows his debut LP to be guided by this surrounding network of collaborators, from engineers to audiences to feature artists and more, lending a wonderfully malleable and textural quality to the record. In the process, Nothing Is A Solo Project becomes a reminder of how our chosen communities always shape what we ourselves put out into the world.
