• "Share The House," released February 13, 2026, is Scottish DJ Ewan McVicar's love letter to house culture. The title works on two levels. On one hand, it's literal: come round, we'll play records too loud. On the other, it's an initiation rite. Sharing the house means welcoming someone into the lineage; into the sweat, the strobe, the unspoken agreement that for the next six minutes, we are all tenants of the same groove.
• The track samples the hook from "Share This House" by Members of the House, a 1988 Detroit classic. That collective included key Underground Resistance figures such as Mike Banks (aka Mad Mike).
• Matt Johnson, long-serving keyboardist for Jamiroquai, played piano on the track. Johnson is also an established session musician beyond his Jamiroquai commitments; his session credits include work with Duffy, Jax Jones, S.G. Lewis, and many others.
• McVicar produced, mixed, and mastered the track. An earlier version, titled "Share My House," was circulating as far back as August 2025. He described the turnaround on the final version, which was released on February 13, 2026, as "nothing less than miraculous," suggesting that while the idea had been knocking about for years, the finished structure went up in a flurry of creative scaffolding.
• According to McVicar's TikTok trail, the inspiration for the track traces back to a moment at Electric Picnic in 2023. Around release time, he curated a Beatport playlist of his key influences, writing: "This chart is the story of how I ended up sharing my own house after 12 years of being a house head."
• "Share The House" became McVicar's second UK chart entry, following his 2021 breakthrough cover of "Tell Me Something Good," which peaked at #15. That earlier hit proved he could renovate a classic; "Share The House" suggests he's now hosting the party himself: doors wide open, speakers trembling, and everyone invited inside.
