| |
| Ewan Pearson is one of the most respected producers and in demand |
| remixers in the UK at the moment. |
| |
| Kidderminster-born Ewan Pearson has been making records since |
| 1996. Following two singles for Lee FisherÆs Birmingham indie |
| Bosting, (ôMotorcadeö as Villa America and Dirtboxé ôThe Reasonö) |
| EwanÆs love of house and techno saw him hook up with one of his |
| favourite labels Soma, for his first critically-acclaimed Maas EP. |
| By then Ewan had moved to London to take a MasterÆs degree in |
| philosophy and cultural studies. When this was completed it was |
| back to music - a second EP (including the deep techno fave ôJuan |
| Is The Teacherö), followed by an album, ôLatitudeö, which yielded |
| two more singles, the downbeat lushness of ôLook At Me Now, |
| Fallingö (which featured two mixes from FranceÆs i:cube) and |
| ôAnother Saturday Nightö - a piece of disco house with inspired |
| remixes from Swag and Nail. |
| |
| Following the release of ôLatitudeö Ewan took Maas out as a live |
| act. With over forty club and festival gigs around the UK and |
| Europe he played at nights such as Slam, Bugged Out, The End, |
| Laurent GarnierÆs legendary æWake UpÆ at ParisÆ Rex Club, and |
| Berlin's Tresor. He has also played at the Sonar, Benecassim and |
| Roskilde festivals. |
| |
| After returning to college in 1997 for an abortive first year of a |
| PhD (including a semester as a lecturer in popular music at the |
| University of East London) Ewan divided his time between gigs, |
| remixing and co-writing a book on dance music. ôDiscographiesö was |
| written with Jeremy Gilbert for academic press with Routledge and |
| published in July 1999. Although he released no new material on |
| Soma in the next two years, a low-key downbeat release as World of |
| Apples for IdealÆs Giant 45 label became something of a cult |
| success. Tracks such as ôTravisö and ôFifteen Monthsö from the |
| Chroma EP were still being played two years after its release, and |
| his World of Apples mix of Christian ZimmermanÆs ôDiary of a Lost |
| Girlö (also on Giant 45) was lauded by the likes of Phil Mison and |
| Mixmaster Morris as æa modern chill-out classicÆ. The second World |
| of Apples EP ôThe Days Are Just Packedö was released to further |
| acclaim in June 2000. |
| |
| He also spent much of 1999 producing an album for |
| singer-songwriter Jeb Loy Nichols. Born in Missouri but resident |
| in the UK, Jeb achieved critical acclaim in the US in 1997 for his |
| Capitol album ôLover's Knotö. Only available in Britain on import |
| it nevertheless caught the attention of Geoff Travis who signed |
| Jeb for a follow-up on the newly re-formed Rough Trade label. |
| Recorded in London and Jamaica ôJust What Time It Isö was released |
| in August 2000. The first single to be taken from the record, ôSay |
| Goodbye To Christopherö, was co-written by Ewan. |
| |
| 1999 also saw the first new Maas single for two years, ôPowers of |
| Tenö, a tough Chicago house track written specially for a live |
| appearance at Barcelona's Merce festival. Backed up with a remix |
| from label-mate Funk DÆVoid, ôPowersàö was played by DJÆs such as |
| Ralph Lawson, Jon Marsh, Ashley Beedle, DiY and Josh Wink. |
| |
| Since the release of Latitudeé Ewan has also completed an |
| ever-growing number of remixes for labels such as Sony, F-Com, |
| Sirkus, Versatile and Grand Central amongst others (see |
| accompanying discography). In February 2001 Soma Recordings |
| released a compilation ôSmall Changeö gathering together some of |
| his finest remix work as both Maas and World of Apples. The eleven |
| track CD included tracks by Leftfield, Aaron Carl, Chaser and |
| Christian Zimmerman. |
| |
| 2001 also saw Ewan complete remixes for Nelly Furtado |
| (Dreamworks), Zuco 103 (SSR), 1 Giant Leap (Palm Pictures), Russ |
| Gabriel (Out of the Loop), Deem-C (Slip ænÆ Slide), His Name Is |
| Alive (4AD), Jaymz Nylon (Out of the Loop) and Freeform 5 |
| (Classic). |
| |
| Ewan also spent several weeks working as a writer / producer with |
| former Gus Gus vocalist Hafdis Huld, on her forthcoming solo |
| project. These sessions also produced a track for EwanÆs |
| forthcoming Soma album, ôLet It Goö. |
| |
| Choosing no longer to play live while there was no new original |
| material to promote Ewan started to DJ regularly in the UK and |
| Paris in addition to gigs at Plages Sonores Festival in |
| Montpellier, the Big Chill, Barcelona, Copenhagen and Istanbul. |
| After several guest appearances he has also become one of the |
| residents at Come Shake The Whole in London. |
| |
| In the autumn of 2001 Ewan co-produced and mixed the new Jeb Loy |
| Nichols album ôEasy Nowö for Rykodisk. The 13-track album was |
| recorded in Wales and mixed at the Fallout Shelter, London during |
| September and October and was released May 2002. |
| |
| 2002 saw Ewan's career as a remixer move from strength to strength |
| with a succession of well received mixes for the likes of Freeform |
| 5 (ôPerspex Sexö for Classic), 5th Level (ôJump Upö for Vapour), |
| Black Strobe (ôMe ænÆ Madonnaö for Output), Slam featuring Dot |
| Allison (ôVisionsö for Soma), Erlend Oye (ôA Sudden Rushö for |
| Source), Playgroup (ôMake It Happenö for Output) and Seelenluft |
| (ôManilaö for Klein). His remix of ôPerspex Sexö was voted best |
| remix of 2002 by the readers of Groove magazine in Germany and |
| went on to win Remix of the Year in the German Dance Music awards. |
| Ewan also co-produced Trevor Jackson's cover of Depeche Mode's |
| ôBehind the Wheelö for the Playgroup DJ-Kicks compilation. |
| |
| A single for Out of the Loop under the name Partial Arts (ôCanopyö |
| written and produced with Alastair Usher and featuring remixes |
| from Riton and Russ Gabriel) was released in February and received |
| enthusiastic play from the likes of Giles Petersen, Jazzanova, |
| Rainer Truby and Tony Humphries. Ewan and Al have also remixed |
| Jaymz Nylon ôI Know A Placeö (Out of the Loop), Blake ôSaturday |
| Nightö (Ideal), Midnight Star ôMidas Touchö (Ideal) and Swag |
| ôWhere I Belongö (Version Music). |
| |
| Ewan started 2003 with an acclaimed remix of GoldfrappÆs ôTrainö |
| for Mute. He also completed remixes for The Flaws (ôFreekö on |
| Bitches Brew), Ladytron (ôEvilö for Telstar), GoldfrappÆs second |
| single from ôBlack Cherryö, ôStrict Machineö (Mute), Futureshock |
| ôPrideÆs Paranoiaö (Parlophone/JBO) and the Chemical Brothers / |
| Flaming Lips collaboration ôThe Golden Pathö (Virgin). |
| |
| His DJ schedule has become busier and busier, including a regular |
| slot at BerlinÆs Watergate club and gigs at Ivan SmaggheÆs æKill |
| the DJÆ night at the Pulp, Paris, Madrid, Ghent, Belgrade, Oslo, |
| Copenhagen and three dates at ManumissionÆs Music Box in Ibiza |
| alongside the likes of the Rapture and Har Mar Superstar. |
| |
| Ewan is currently living in Berlin and working there on his second |
| artist album for Soma recordings. The new year should see the |
| release of EwanÆs collaboration with Hope Grant on the forthcoming |
| Envoy single ôMove Onö. An emotive piece of electronic soul with a |
| stunning vocal from Grant, ôMove Onö also features a 29-piece |
| string arrangement from Craig Armstrong. |
