As the first Italian DJ to tour the world, he’s put his homeland on the global techno map. As the first DJ to mix live on the eminent BBC music show Top Of The Pops, he’s helped bring techno to the widest audience possible. As the man behind Meganite – one of Ibiza’s most successful and longest running nights – he has recruited some of the world’s most respected underground DJs as residents; Adam Beyer, Marco Carola and Chris Liebing.

This journey to legendary status began over 25 years, 700 releases and 7 million unit sales ago when he became the first Italian finalist in the world DMC championships in 1988. Galvanising this success the following year with a win on a live broadcast Italian DJ competition called The Walky Cup, his national crown as a premiership DJ was realised... And the world beckoned.

A string of sonic successes, dancefloor dominance and industry victories followed; early chart appearances as R.A.F and co- writing for myriad European house acts during the early 90s led him to become a partner Media Records, while his reptilian trilogy in 1998 elevated him to a global level; ‘Lizard’, ‘Iguana’ and ‘Komodo (Save A Soul)’ fused trance with techno on such a level they became hymns for the biblical superclub explosion during the last few years of the 20th century and charted in many countries. From this point onwards, the world could no longer ignore the dance music and techno phenomenon. And Mauro was driving from the front. As one of the most in-demand artists across the globe, he barely left DJ Mag’s illustrious Top 100 DJ list throughout the first decade of the 21st century.

Constantly searching for innovative developments – both musically and technically – Mauro expressed an early vision that is now common place within electronic music: his ability to bring the underground to the masses, to fuse melody, hooks and harmony with industrial strength drum dynamics, his innate understanding of widescreen DJ selections that cover the whole spectrum created a reputation that positioned him in all corners of techno.

This focus and attitude meant that as a DJ he’s been invited to perform the broadest possible range of peaktime sets from Berlin’s famed Love Parade to Turin Winter Olympics via Timewarp, Tomorrowland, MTV Festival, Awakenings, Sensation, Mayday, Ultra Music Festival, Space Miami, Ibiza and thousands more. As an artist this gave him the freedom to flex from major remixes of top tier acts like Freddie Mercury and The Pet Shop Boys while delivering extensive albums that explore every side of techno with daring experimentation with tracks such as ‘Baguette’, ‘Contaminato’, ‘Hong Kong’, ‘The Riff’ and ‘Asteroids’.

As well as his journeyman DJ sets and full spectrum productions, this vision is also evident in his two brands. Both established in the early 2000s and still going strong to date, his Meganite events and Alchemy label are both melting pots for evolution and development. Meganite at Privilege is one of Ibiza’s most infamous techno parties and has since gone on to take over clubs and arenas across Europe and the US while Alchemy has delivered cuts from the likes of Adam Beyer, Chris Liebing, Joseph Capriati, Paco Osuna, Popof, Sasha Carassi, The Advent, Steve Rachmad, Nicole Moudaber and many more. Not just a label, Alchemy has also given the world a successful festival in Mauro’s motherland Turin in 2010 and is the home to his hugely popular podcast series that is syndicated across the world and listened to by audiences of millions.

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.
