Profile
For many outsiders, Scotland evokes images of windswept highlands, bagpipe-playing fusiliers, whisky distilleries, men wearing tartan kilts and mysterious tales of vast lochs - and, true, it's all those things and more. Perhaps less well known, at least on a global scale, is the nation's affinity with dance music culture. The country's second city, Glasgow, boasts a thriving nightlife scene that holds a candle to any of the world's best: London, Amsterdam, Berlin, New York. Even more remote places such as Dundee, Perth and Aberdeen, have come on leaps and bounds in recent years. Scotland has produced some exemplary artists in years gone by: Slam, Harri and Dom from Sub Club, Jackmaster, Jasper James and one Calvin Harris. Ewan McVicar is the latest product of this talent pool. Growing-up in isolated Ayrshire on Scotland's west coast, a career in dance music probably seemed like a pipe-dream to the region's starry-eyed youngsters. However, Ewan McVicar had other ideas. Currently #4,632 in the BookedDJ global ranking.
