Two huge Scottish musicians are teaming up to host a 'massive show' in Glasgow.
Techno 'icon' Frazi.er and 'house kingpin' Ewan McVicar will be hosting a gig at the city's OVO Hydro on Saturday, November 30.
Ayrshire-born DJ and music producer Ewan, 30, is known for his smash hits including Tell Me Something Good, Groove Thang, Heather Park, The Miracle Makers, and many more.
Meanwhile, techno artist Frazi.er is known for his tunes such as No Time For Hate, Temptation, Escape With Me, and Motor City 3000.

Announcing the big event, Frazi.er said: “For me, this is the biggest show yet because of the combination of the two of us.
“It’s a good thing for Scotland – two small-town Scottish guys, two different sounds, playing together on St Andrews Day at the best venue in the country.
“Of course the first Hydro shows I did were special, but I think the two of us coming together is what a lot of people want – and a big surprise for a lot too.”

Ewan added: “There aren’t many people I’d rather join forces with in electronic music than Frazi.er in Scotland.
“His outlook on the scene and always wanting to push boundaries was something that instantly made me want to work with him in any way, shape or form.
“Turns out we are now good mates above all else so the Hydro just made total sense for the both of us to butt heads.”

Frazi.er previously accepted a summer date at the Hydro because he couldn't get the autumn date he wanted, however, when November 30 became available, he and Ewan felt it was the chance they had been looking for to work together.
Fraz said: “It was hard to sit on this news for so long – but this was the driving force behind moving my summer show back to the new date.
“We couldn’t announce the partnership right away but had to let people know the date was changing – it’s great to be able to tell everyone at last.
“We had actually spoken about doing something big together for a couple of years.
“When PLTFRM got rescheduled we got speaking and it was a natural conversation about doing the Hydro together as this huge date became available and we had to make it happen.”

Ewan added: “For me, it’s the story of two hometowns, homegrown Scottish artists infiltrating the mainstream.
“That is biblical for me, if you’d asked us when we started from our humble beginnings that this event would materialise I would have thought ‘You’re aff yer heed’.
“To do it with Fraz just makes it more special for me also, two completely different styles under one roof for one cause.
"Unreal.”
We previously reported that the Platform Festival - known as PLTFRM FSTVL - had been rescheduled due to an issue.
The music event was due to take place in Tradeston on June 29 and June 30.
However, it was rescheduled to September 28 and September 29.

Meanwhile, while Ewan and Fraz come from 'very different' music scenes, their styles are said to be 'complementary' - and they're 'determined to deliver the best event possible'.
To kick off the music event, Ewan will take the stage first.
He said: "The art of warming up a room has been dying for a while, when we first talked about this idea I said to Fraz I would love to start the night off and hand it over to him.
“We are using Fraz’s expertise and guidance with a lot of this so I thought it was only right.
“Also the arc of the night musically is the key to what can be legendary moments, so musically me first handing over to Fraz makes the most sense.
“No ego, just do your job to the highest degree and let the night take its course.”

Frazi.er added: “I think it flows very well. Techno and house music come from similar roots, techno being more on the locked grooves and house having more hands-in-the-air dancefloor moments.
“It’s a natural transition to go from housey grooves into some four-to-the-floor techno.
"The energy will gradually build up start to finish over the five hours.”
