Get your very first Shock of 2009 as we return to our native Dublin. Teaming up with Nightflight at Button Factory to give Ewan Pearson his biggest Irish show so far.
Ewan's spent the last ten years creating some seminal productions from way back to his re-take on Freeform Five's Perspex Sex, his Moroderesque mixes of Goldrapp, his epic take on Courtney Tidwell's Don't Let The Stars Keep Us Tangled Up and his work with Al Usher under Partial Arts moniker to name a few.
His re-mixography is one of the most impressive in electronic music. What's even more impressive is his ability to improve on originals by acts like Playgroup, The Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp, Franz Ferdinand, The Rapture, Moby, Ladytron, Alter Ego, , Black Strobe, Feist and SuperMayer
Pearson's lavish production bleeds into his DJing, with flawless transitions that sound utterly organic & knowledge of music and production seems to lift his sets to a level of mastery rarely seen. Those who witnessed his last two sets at Shock will know exactly what we mean. Mixing skills are only part of the story, however, and his Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi. mix was equally impressive for the distinctively melodic floating quality it sustained for long stretches.
Pearson's Fabric mix, while more percussive also show his ability to envision a group of songs together as a solid piece of work creating a mood and consistency throughout rather than a couple of tracks stitched together.
This will will a sweaty night of proper house music as only Ewan can provide.
Its good to be back!
