EWAN PEARSON
Button Factory, Friday Mar 26
Right now seems like Ewans more popular then ever, having just finished production of the Delphic & Tracy Thorn albums & a new mix CD immanent. Although Ewan has never yearned for the spotlight some other DJs clearly enjoy. Instead he's spent the last ten years creating some seminal productions.
His re-mixography, one of the most impressive in electronic music is made more impressive when hist ability to vastly improve on originals becomes clear. Hot Chip, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp, Franz Ferdinand, The Rapture, Feist and SuperMayer all have had the Pearson magic touch.
Ewan's production credits include The Rapture's 'Pieces of the People We Love' & M83's lates album Saturdays = Youth,Tracey Thorn's (Everything but the Girl) solo material and the universally acclaimed Delphic.
Pearson's is respected as one of the best in the game. He has a knack for pulling off fast yet flawless transitions that sound utterly organic. Mixing skills are only part of the story, however, and his Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi. mix was equally impressive for the distinctively melodic floating quality it sustained for long stretches.
Ewan's latest project is a mix cd for Kompakt titled 'We Are Proud of Our Choices. Once again show his ability to envision a group of songs together as a solid piece of work creating a mood and consistency throughout rather than a couple of tracks stitched together.
Ewan Pearson is quite simply one of the best DJs out there & every time he's guested for us has never failed to impress.
