about

From early residencies at weekly student nights in Glasgow to playing a pivotal role behind the scenes at La Cheetah Club, Big Miz has been immersed within the city's walls since he was a teenager. Weekends spent crafting his sound behind the booth and creating lifelong friendships at the city's famous after-hours scene have helped create an ecosystem for success. In Glasgow, even larger labels are always keen to support local talent and during one of his frequent visits to Rub A Dub Records, Big Miz was introduced to Dixon Avenue Basement Jams which eventually led to the release of his first EP.

Miz has carried this Glasgow courtesy throughout his whole career, which eventually led to connecting with HOMAGE label head Ryan Clover where they exchanged feedback and spins before locking down a release on the label's heavy schedule. The New York based label's ethos shares parallels to Glasgow's - collaborative, fluid, and always ready to party.

Title track 'Where I Belong' wastes no time on introductions, combining a range of hardware and software into a kaleidoscopic recording created for peak time. 'Everything's Fine' demonstrates Miz's knack for groove and melody, where classic acid sounds meet demanding stabs and an irresistible groove. Inspired by early house records, 'The Feeling' makes its presence felt with chunky kick drums and uplifting vocal samples; Big Miz's attention to detail and years of dancefloor education shines through, first establishing a hypnotic introduction and powerful transitions that have us hooked from the first bar.

The EP is beautifully rounded off by LUXE's remix of the title track 'Where I Belong', following on from her standout EP on the beloved label Planet Euphorique. LUXE swaps rolling kick drums in favor of breakbeats and an ethereal backdrop. The space between musical elements is key, allowing us to breathe as our perspective shifts high above the city's clouds.
