DEEP HOUSE
EWAN PEARSON has crafted a wonderfully fluid mix, shifting from abrasive, percussive workouts to sublime, sparkling electronics with ease. The mix is underpinned by a menacing sub-plot; mechanical, treated vocals and low end kick drives the story deeper.
On ‘Fabric 35’, Ewan Pearson tells a gripping, equivocal story; at times it’s moving (“Berghain” by ARIL BRIKHA), other times brilliantly off-the-wall (KONRAD BLACK’s take on ‘Honeymoon’s Over”), even twists and turns towards the adulterous (100 Hz on “Trustlove”) – but, from beginning to end, remains completely unpredictable.
Ewan’s sound is anything but soulless or uninspired. His ever-changing, avant-garde productions seem to always surprise even the most jaded of ears. Offbeat yet on point, with a charmingly unpretentious disposition, Pearson makes pop-friendly music drenched in bass & sprinkled w’ addictive melodies.
His production credits also include LADYTRON, CHIKINKI, two tracks of GWEN STEFANI’s first solo album and seven tracks on TRACEY THORN’s recent cult phenomenon/media diamond ‘Out Of The Woods.’ He’s remixed and re-rubbed some of the most fascinating names on the charts, including DEPECHE MODE, GOLDFRAPP (three times in fact), THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS, PET SHOP BOYS, FIELDS and FRANZ FERDINAND.
DJing is challenging and enjoyable, but not the only string on his bow (“When people ask ‘So you’re a DJ?’ I’m like, ‘Well, sort of, it’s like my fourth or fifth job.’”); above all, he prefers lending his hand to his distinctive ability to re-imagining beats.
“I always try to have some more musical stuff in there, but it’s quite heads-down, with low-slung basslines. It ranges from quite a few styles but it’s a no-nonsense dancefloor mix, more down and dirty. Being interested in production, I’m always trying to find things that fit together - I like that happy accident that you find sometimes when you find two records that are in the same key and the same tempo; when you put them together, you make this brand new thing.” – EWAN PEARSON
