Phantasy proudly presents a new AA single from Ewan McVicar, ”Careless Drifter / Basic Foundation”. Undoubtedly one of the most prominent and successful figures in UK dance music in recent years, McVicar”s contribution to Erol Alkan”s long-standing London label is a love letter from his earliest 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 a paean to communal party spirit that has informed his musical philosophy. Patient but instantly trippy, ”Careless Drifter” coaxes dancers into a bottom-heavy bath of bassline and oscillations, revealing an alluring saxophone break that bridges the rawest end of the rave with unexpected opulence. On the flip side, ”Basic Foundation” further strips back this instinct for club composition, dropping the tempo while dazzling with razor-sharp synths. The result is primo acid-house chug, alternating between light and shade, as McVicar”s knack for a melody emerges from his modular :A. Careless DrifterB. Basic Foundation
