Glasgow has long exported a certain strain of club culture: unsentimental, rhythm-first, allergic to artifice. Ewan McVicar stands squarely in that lineage. His sets—rooted in raw house, flashes of techno pressure and a distinctly British rave elasticity—prioritise momentum over ornament, communion over spectacle.

In 2026, he translates that ethos to Ibiza with Ewan McVicar Presents Club Knuckles, a 23-week residency in the Club Room at Hï Ibiza running every Friday from 1 May to 2 October.

McVicar’s ascent accelerated with 2021’s Tell Me Something Good, named Track of the Year by DJ Mag, followed by collaborations spanning KETTAMA to Robert Owens. Yet Club Knuckles, launched in 2025, signals a deeper consolidation: a self-directed platform for uncompromising, club-focused releases—each instalment marked in Roman numerals, each built for impact rather than algorithm.
On Fridays, the Theatre complements the Club Room with rotating headliners CamelPhat and Dom Dolla, shaping a dual-room programme that balances melodic scale with percussive immediacy. Within the broader vision of The Night League, McVicar’s residency reframes Fridays not as a spectacle-led event, but as a sustained argument for dancefloor integrity.
