Ewan McVicar - Careless Drifter / Basic Foundation [Phantasy Sound]

Phantasy proudly presents a new double A-side single from Ewan McVicar: Careless Drifter / Basic Foundation. Undeniably one of the most exciting and successful figures in UK dance music of recent years, McVicar’s contribution to Erol Alkan’s established London label is a love letter to his early days raving in rural Scotland. Debuted by McVicar at I Love Acid at Corsica Studios and road-tested at his own Handpicked parties, each track is an anthem to the collective spirit of the party that has defined his musical philosophy.

Careless Drifter, patient yet mind-bending from the offset, immerses dancers in a bath of deep bass and oscillations, revealing a seductive saxophone solo that connects the rawest of rave with an unexpected opulence.

On the flip side, Basic Foundation further reduces the formula, lowering the tempo while dazzling with razor-sharp synths. The result is top-notch acid house, alternating light and dark, allowing McVicar's melodic talent to emerge from his modular experiments.
