U.K. DJ and producer Ewan Pearson has been a staple in the electronic music scene throughout the past decade. Armed with as many aliases as high profile remixes, Pearson helped solidify artists like the Rapture and Goldfrapp, remixing their tracks into floor-filling club anthems, and bridged the gap between indie rock and electro with his remixes of Franz Ferdinand and Feist. Pearson also famously reworked and renewed Depeche Mode's sacred classic 'Enjoy the Silence.' "There has to be something that I can hear working in a different disco context," Pearson tells Spinner of his track selection. "I have to please the artist and I have to please myself, too. Nine Inch Nails I couldn't do because of a schedule thing. I turned down the first-ever Franz Ferdinand single because I was exhausted."
Pearson also waxes poetic about his biggest influence, fellow British DJ/producer Andrew Weatherall. "I have been a fan of his playing and his music since I started going to clubs in 1989," he says. "He has stayed fascinating and inspiring and relevant."
Pearson makes club rounds throughout Europe, including one of his favorite London haunts: Fabric. And while he primarily DJs on the CD format, Pearson doesn't neglect the increasingly lost treasure: vinyl. He produces his tracks on softwares like Logic, Ableton Live and Pro Tools, and was honored with the Podcast of the Year award by the well-respected Resident Advisor Web site.
He's shied away from original productions in recent years but that doesn't mean the now Berlin-based DJ is slowing down. Pearson was recently tapped to take part in the esteemed Fabric DJ Mix, making his mark as number 35 in the acclaimed series. In addition, his remix work is compiled on a two-disc set, to be released on K7 later this month.
Look for Pearson's 'Piece Work' remix compilation, pick up the retail version of his Fabrix mix and check him out at a club near you.
