New signing to Pedigree Cuts (EMI/Warner), home to Goldie, Ulrich Schnauss, Shawn Lee, Boca 45, Skeewiff and many more.
Ewan Hoozami (Pronounced: /you n'hooz'arr'mee / YOU-n-hooz-ARR-mee / "You and whose army") mixes sampling, songwriting and cutting edge production techniques to weave a sound with one foot in the glory days of hip-hop, disco and funk, and the other striding towards the future of bass music.
Originally a rapper & poet, Ewan Hoozami took up DJing in the early 00's and won the first competition he entered. From that moment he was hooked, and has played countless shows since developing a strong fanbase in his home town of Bristol. Initially'just' a hip-hop DJ, he's now amassed a huge funk vinyl collection and developed a passion for electronic music and soulful, emotive vocals.
His debut EP came out in 2009 on Dusted Wax, following which he has put out an album (Wildebeats, 2009) and dozens of other releases and remixes on small indie labels.
Completely self-taught, Ewan has developed a unique approach to songwriting which he now uses to create original music which is simultaneously urban and futuristic yet soulful and organic.
He's taken his music all over the UK, to dozens of festivals large and small - either DJing a rabble-rousing blend of the freshest electro-soul, hip-hop and funk, or performing his original material with his full live band.
