About:
I'm a DJ, producer, crate-digger, MPC basher, vocalist and all-round good egg by the name of Ewan Hoozami.
I've been played on BBC Radio 6, Solid Steel Radio, Radio Popolare (Italy), and BBC Introducing, released music on Pedigree Cuts, Goodgroove Records, Big M and many more, and DJ'd all over the UK and Europe.
I loosely centre my music around Funk, Hip-hop, Disco and Soul. I love basslines. And drums.
When I'm not doing Ewan Hoozami stuff I can be found doing the following (deep breath):
Running Particle Zoo Recordings
Writing & performing:
House/bass as STEGA
Wonky electronic hip-hop as Sirklz
Bassweight remixes of cult classics as one half of Box Rocket
Analogue sci-fi disco as one half of The Mind-Reading Space Lasers.

Dopedemand feat. Ewan Hoozami - Indigo Skyfold EP
"Refreshing, crisply produced and unapologetically genre-agnostic music. Fun lyrics and poolside beats, just in time for summer!"
Will Sumsuch (5 Magazine, Chicago)
"With Dopedemand’s extensive experience in composing and producing, the easy going beats and vibe he’s created is right out of the top draw. The tracks ‘Hold It Like That’ and ‘Tuff’ are two massively blissful and balearic tracks that’ll have you dreaming of good times for ages! The other 4 tracks off the EP are where Ewan steps in and flexes his vocal skills, both in singing and rapping and giving a distinctly British feel to the sound"
Sid Wesley (Life Support Machine)
Sometimes the best things happen on the spur of the moment, and so it is with Dopedemandfeat. Ewan Hoozami - Indigo Skyfold EP.
When Dopedemand (AKA Phil Nixon) was approached by Ewan Hoozami (AKA Adam Hignell) to commission some artwork for a new project, neither could have predicted they'd end up penning an entire EP together... or that it would come out sounding so fresh!
Evocative of Golden Era Hip-Hop, Balearic Electronica and Disco, the 6-track EP has an undeniably soulful sound, while Ewan Hoozami's raps give it a refreshingly unpretentious, mature, British flavour.
The EP's lead single, "Ride On", reminisces over Ewan Hoozami's skateboarding past... Weed, friends, sunshine and skateboards feature prominently, with a few nods to legendary landmarks from his hometown of Bristol. Across the EP, Dopedemand's unfussy production sounds a world away from the over-polished efforts of many contemporaries - as you'd expect from a self-confessed old-schooler - and the results are an accomplished body of work with the subtle class that comes from a veteran's touch.
Dopedemand is a veteran Composer, Remixer and Producer / Graphic Artist hailing from Sunderland. Releasing work on Indie labels. Phil also composes unique videogame soundtracks and has been known do the occasional remix.
Ewan Hoozami is a DJ, Producer and Vocalist who has had work played on BBC Radio 6 Music and released 2 full-length albums and several EPs on leading labels.

War - You Got the power (Ewan Hoozami Edit)
This is one of my favourite records and I always get people coming up to the decks asking what it is when I play it. So i thought I'd give it a little edit. I've not done too much it but hopefully it gives it a little more bang.

FFTT 10th Birthday Mix!
We celebrate 10 years of party-rocking on Sat Oct 24th at the Plough, Bristol. It's been a wild ride that's seen us DJ across the UK and beyond, supporting some of the world's biggest names in hip-hop, funk and dance music, and for the last 6 years we've run a stage at Boomtown Fair called Funkington Manor. In addition, we've run a longstanding series of club and live events featuring some of Bristol and beyond's finest funky talent.
Some of my highlights include DJing at a snowboard festival in Holland on the snow, with the riders literally jumping over our heads! We've had some mad nights, crazy roadtrips and some of my all-time favourite memories. Massive, massive love and respect to the homie Mr Lingo, the founding father and engine behind FFTT, plus of course my brothers Vallee and Powercut, who for the past 7 years have been the full-time FFTT reps, and of course some of my best mates!
