Welcome to July 2023's Exclusive Series Mix.

Il Modo are delighted to present, this brilliantly constructed set from the ever popular and hugely talented Ewan Douglas.

Hailing from Forfar, Scotland Ewan's first taste of electronic music came from being introduced to those fabled "NOW THATS WHAT I CALL MUSIC" mix tapes, listening to Steve 'Silk' Hurley & MARRS. Even then knowing it sounded new and different to anything else, he carried on into his teens listening to mix tapes from the legendary Rhumba Club, in Arbroath. 

Like so many others, it was the seminal Northern Exposure CD's from Sasha & John Digweed that inspired Ewan to buy some decks. Grabbing the chance to play at any opportunity, Ewan and friends practised to perfection, became Rhumba regulars and were subsequently blown away when Digweed played there. 

It was a long time after, during the lockdowns and restrictions of 2020/21 that Ewan found himself drawn back to the music, Digweed's legendary Bunker Sessions having a huge impact. Forced away from public meetings, it was the online community that joined together to give people what they were so badly missing. Before too long, GlobalProg was born, a collective of like-minded individuals from all over the world, who dedicated themselves to a series of online live streams, playing for themselves and friends initially. Now over three years on, GlobalProg has grown exponentially and are still beaming live-streams into people's homes around the world, whilst adding exclusive streams from the likes of LopezHouse and Mind Of Us to their roster.

More recently, GlobalProg moved this concept into a live scenario. No longer restricted by Covid, their first night out in March this year recorded a resounding success, featuring Ewan, co GP founder Alan Marshall, and none other than Bedrock's Nick Muir behind the decks.

Ewan continues with his online shows, with guests such as Miles Atmospheric, as well as other guest mixes such as this one. For the future, Ewan is just beginning his journey into production, finding influences from the likes of Sven Vath, Jonathan Kaspar, Luke Brancaccio and of course Nick Muir. 

We hope you enjoy this extended set, where Ewan blends dreamy vocals, atmospheric breaks, deep melodic cuts and sharp progressive sounds, all into one beautiful journey. Enjoy x
