Born Perth, Western Australia 1992

Currently in Sydney, New South Wales

This exciting newcomer from Sydney has already made quite an impression on the bass music scene. The 19 year‑old was named as one of the top ten producers to watch in 2011 by FACT Magazine, was included in esteemed UK selector Ben UFO's Rinse mix series entry, and has collaborated with the former Roll Deep member Trim.

Dro Carey's extraordinary music assimilates everything from classic techno and house to R'n'B, rap, juke and grime, to produce a peculiar skewed aesthetic. These original productions have earned him acclaim in a diverse range of online and print publications, including Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, The Wire and NME, as well as the interest of DJs such as Mary Anne Hobbs and Benji B. With the release of his new EP — Journey with the Heavy — on Ramp Recordings on December 5th, Carey looks set to build on his strong year as he progresses into 2012.
