Dick Trevor has been writing Trance music since the early days of Goa.He started making music while at college doing sound engineering back in 93. He and Matt Coldrick teamed up and had a go at making a trance track which TIP bought straight away ,from then on they became the Green Nuns of the Revolution. They made tracks for most of the english labels then and various compilations, releasing only one album on Flying Rhino.
After a couple of years making music together they teamed up with keyboard player Neil Cowley who was then playing with the Brand New Heavies and he started to put more funk into the music. They did many gigs around the world with live guitar and keyboards and sometimes an extra percussionist, going for the rock n roll performance. They even did a video for MTV. The nuns went their separate ways in 98 and Dick started to produce music with many different artists although they have been wrenched out of retirement a few times recently to play some retro sets.
Within the Flying Rhino stable the Bumbling Loons was formed with James Monro and 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 with Jules Evans ( producer/fisherman) for the Shpongle Remix album and also formed the band Hierophant for a couple of tracks on the Backroom Beats albums. On Phantasm there were collaborations with Chris Boing as the Bisto Boys and John Ford as Mindfield/Bisto Boys and also with John's son Junya (Eskimo) as Jumanji Dick also teamed up with Jon Om who used to run Aquatec Records and formed Green Oms, they released their album, “Coming Through In Waves” on Dragonfly. He has also joined forces with Jules Hamer from Aphid Moon and came up with AMD and created their album “Big Fish” which was released on Nano Records.
Away from the trance scene Dick teamed up with Danny Howells and started Science Dept having successful releases on John Digweeds label Bedrock (Repercussion,Persuasion) and then on Renaissance Records (Breathe) which got into the UK top 60.They have also released Kinkyfunk on Deep Dish's label Yoshitoshi in the US which was a big hit on the progressive scene. Then after that they followed it up with Dusk til Dawn which was a big hit in Ibiza in 2004 and even made it into the UK top 40 on C2 records. Since then they made many remixes including a remix for Destiny's Child for their single, Soldier, and also remixed Madonna’s “Get Together”.Through Danny's connections Dick got together with native Australian Andy Morris (Narcotic Thrust) and released a couple of singles, includindg a remix for Offir Nassim on Star69 Records from the US.
