bio:
Ewan McVicar is doing things differently. He’s not following any existing blueprints, nor is he adding a filter to what you see. As a result, DJ Mag’s recently crowned Best British DJ is taking the electronic scene by storm. If you combine the spirit and ethos of the rave generation with a forward-thinking approach to music, vivacious energy and drive to push things in the right direction, you end up with McVicar. 

While his journey may have started in Ayr, Ewan McVicar’s path has shown he doesn't intend to rest until he's left his mark in every corner of the globe. That formative period in his humble Scottish hometown is the bedrock for his success today and after years of honing his craft across hip hop and commercial-leaning sounds in clubs that didn't quite fit his direction, he launched his own enterprise. TEN, the club night that started it all, was the introduction to underground music that he and his town so desperately needed. 

It wasn't just McVicar's hunger for something with a bit more bite that was satisfied once TEN was established, it was a huge success within the town and beyond. A new movement had picked up steam.

His unwavering dedication to pushing a sound that’s intrinsically his own had paid off and after a string of releases via Trick, 'Tell Me Something Good' became a runaway success, all over the planet. The platinum-selling single catapulted Ewan into the public eye and since then, he's not left it, not even for a second. His trajectory has been skyward but crucially, it's been on his terms. 

Musically he's made sure that he's stood firm on his commitment to the underground with releases via Heras Records, Optimo Music, Unknown To The Unknown, Shall Not Fade, Nervous and perhaps most notably Ninja Tune's singles imprint Technicolour, where 'Heather Park' found its home. The track acted as a platform for Ewan to recognise and celebrate his origins while facing forward with his sound. With that, the ode to his former home is one of his most beloved productions to date.

Remixes for The Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs further cement his demand as a technically proficient producer and one that can create music for the main stage as well as sweat-soaked basements. Throw singles like 'Groove Thang' into the mix, alongside hyped collaborations with producers like Kettama, and what you have is an artist who's able to straddle both sides of the fence with ease, a rare feat in today's publishing landscape. 

Ewan's popularity as a selector and performer is arguably the strongest part of his arsenal and with one of the most engaged and active fanbases in the world, his sell-out shows prove to be one of the biggest draws in dance music. 

His sets at Creamfields in the Steelyard have become the stuff of legend, and they showcase his technical ability and prowess performing to crowds upwards of 30,000. His curated club brand 'Handpicked' is a no nonsense night that gives the truest insight into the brain of the clued-up Scotsman and he's welcomed acts like Kerri Chandler, Optimo, Stevie Cox and frequent b2b partner Special Request to play, perfectly surmising his musical tastes.  

Taking curation one step further, 2023 saw the inaugural edition of his beloved Pavilion Festival, Ewan's own festival located in the heart of Ayr on the Low Green, a location that he unsurprisingly holds dearly, in a community that he's now able to lovingly give back.

There are a whole host of new musical projects in the works and most importantly, an album is coming. One that he's been working on tirelessly in the background of his relentless gig schedule and release calendar, one that's set to tell the story of how an ambitious boy from Ayr decided to take over the world and how he's only just getting started.

Award winning DJ & producer, Disrupta, has gone from strength to strength since the launch of his artist project in 2018.

With chart topping releases on a variety of notable underground and major record labels, he has established a unique sound whilst exhibiting a wide sonic palette, drawing on influences from his love of garage, R&B and soul music.

Currently signed to Columbia Records, he has recently released songs with Rudimental, Goddard and Charlotte Haining, with more collaborations in the pipeline.

Amongst this, his live performances have gained significant attention across the globe with sold out tours in the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Manchester based Vektral was introduced to drum and bass during his time at university after attending events at the city’s world famous Warehouse Project. Following this he quickly became immersed in the genre, travelling up and down the country to experience nights at venues such as Motion, Fabric and Building Six. Vektral was inspired to begin his journey in music production around 2016, with his first release shortly after this.

Three years later, he began releasing music under the Vektral name and began to play shows in and around Manchester. His sound involves a variety of different influences from within and outside of the genre, taking inspiration from ambient music and film soundtracks along with genres such as house and techno. Fast forward to 2023 and he has had singles, EP’s, and a host of successful free download releases on labels such as High Tea, DNB Lab, Yosh, Grand Theft Audio and Dazed, alongside gigs with prominent artists such as Subsonic, Joe Ford, Levela, and Gray. He has also had tracks featured by major brands such as UKF and Data Transmission. With numerous releases already lined up for 2025, expect plenty more to come from Vektral.

Boise, Idaho-based electronic bass music producer Drew Ake, best known as Doctor Chubs has produced dubstep for nearly a half-decade.

His bass-heavy and forward-thinking releases have found home on labels such as Electrostep Records, AY YO TRIP! Records, GlockWork Records, WASTELVND Records, BASSCVLT, and, Bass Capital Records, respectively. Doctor Chubs gets inspired by artists like Space Laces, Crankdat, and Samplifire for their vision, sound design, and electrifying stage presence. He has also developed a memorable brand and a dedicated following online and in his area. Doctor Chubs has played Bass Canyon Festival’s silent disco tent in 2019 and several events in Spokane, Washington, and Boise, Idaho, where he has opened for names like Kai Wachi, Slander, Slushii, Flux Pavilion, OG Nixin, Ray Volpe, and AFK at several high-profile venues and events. Doctor Chubs has had the honor of playing direct support for legendary bass icons Marauda, Eliminate, Borgore, Virtual Riot, and Barely Alive. In his tenure, across all platforms, Doctor Chubs has over one million streams and counting. This is the age of Doctor Chubs and his time is now!
