Peverelist aka Pev aka Tom Ford is the lynchpin in modern Bristollian electronic music. Coinciding with seismic shifts in the broader UK music scene, and during his decade managing the crucial Rooted Records store, Pev curated a new label, Punch Drunk Records in 2006. It’s aim was to staunchly support a new fledgling musical movement within Bristol which reflected both the city’s history of edgy genre mutations and it’s sound system legacy. Releasing bona fide classics early on, such as his own ‘Roll With the Punches’ and RSD’s ‘Pretty Bright Light’, Punch Drunk has always had the vision to give many local artists their first release, often to international critical acclaim, including Kahn, Ekoplekz, RSD and Guido, as well as Peverelist himself. The label continues to this day to have a pure underground attitude to pushing new music from his adopted home town. During this time, Pev co-hosted the now infamous Dubloaded club night alongside long time friend and collaborator Pinch, promoting intimate Bristol gigs for some of the biggest players in the UK scene and beyond, such as Mala, Joy O, Ben UFO, Kode 9, 2562, Shackleton just to name a few. After releasing his own debut critically acclaimed 12” singles on Punch Drunk, his own style led the zeitgeist of the second generation UK dubstep sound and he began to carve his own niche, in his own inimitable style, releasing further 12”s on Skull Disco & Tectonic widely regarded as classics of the genre. Pev followed this up with his unparalleled debut album ‘Jarvik Mindstate’ on Punch Drunk in 2009. and has since dj-ed worldwide, spinning his eclectic mix of techno and UK Sound System music. He had produced countless remixes along the way for the likes of Shed, Honest Jons & XL, and has worked closely with Hessle Audio, releasing two 12”s with the label, ‘Dance til the Police Come’ and ‘Raw Code’ (co-produced by Kowton) and also contributing a track to their definitive ‘116 and Rising’ compilation in 2011. Meanwhile, as the wider UK scene was losing direction, Pev refocused his efforts and formed the Livity Sound label and collective alongside fellow Bristol based artists Kowton and Asusu, with the aim to pursue their shared ambitions and musical vision. The label quickly gained recognition winning the coveted Resient Advisor label of the year in 2013 and appearing as part of an extended Wire Magazine cover feature the same year. The label has since gone from strength to strength arguably becoming one of the foremost dance music labels in the UK releasing albums from Kowton, Forest Drive West and Peverelist himself. Pev continues to define the cutting edge of UK dance music and is constantly touring around the world, playing both underground venues and iconic clubs alike whilst simultaneously driving the label forward and working on new music himself. He also hosts a monthly Livity Sound radio show for leading UK station NTS and hosts a regular Livity Sound club night in his hometown of Bristol.
