Dro Carey is just one of the many alter egos of Australian producer and DJ Eugene Ward. Born in Perth and based in Sydney, Ward dabbles in multiple electronic subgenres like garage, house, and grime. While still in high school, he released his debut work, Venus Knock, on the Trilogy Tapes imprint. Influenced by
Miles Davis, rappers like
Raekwon and
GZA, and electronic artists like
DJ Shadow, El-B, and
Jeff Mills, Ward began releasing music for his
Dro Carey project in 2011. Starting with the Journey with the Heavy EP, he followed with two more EPs in 2012 (Much Coke and Night Raid) before returning in 2014 with the Club Injury Handbook EP and the
Scope EP, on which he featured another one of his alter egos,
Tuff Sherm. In 2016, Ward released the
Dark Zoo EP on Soothsayer. The five-song effort included "Queensberry Rules" (featuring
Kücka), "Grow Lithe," and the title track, which featured FKL. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
