Drev is the independent production and sonic exploration of Boston based musician Jess Hewitt. Currently, Jess is an artist, remixer, engineer and sound-designer. A child of the 90s influence, his music has been called "industrial rock filtered through IDM."
Following the debut album Failure, Drev has been doing remixes for bands including Drifting in Silence, Celldweller and XXX Car Ride. He is always looking for new bands to remix and collaborate with.
Studio:


Career Defining Moment: Performing in Benevento + La Spezia, Italy at city squares to cheering crowds.
Inspired by: Mostly whatever I am listening to, be it music or sounds. Also, I would say new + innovative gear/software. When I find something like exponential frequency modulation (instead of linear) or scanned synthesis, I feel compelled to toy with it, to explore + manipulate it for hours, and I end up writing melodies/harmonies with it unlike what I would write for a guitar or piano.
Currently Listening To: Autechre, Bush, Celldweller, Depeche Mode, Gravity Kills, Gridlock, Modwheelmood, Nine Inch Nails, Phonem, Stabbing Westward, Tool
Collaboration Wish List: Collaborate: Charlie Clouser Remix: Depeche Mode or New Order
Dream Project: Anything off Richard Devine's Résumé
Final Word: Great thanks for all your support, and be on the lookout for new remixes and original material.
