Big Miz is the moniker of Chris McFarlane, a Glasgow-based DJ and producer whose infectious blend of house, techno, and leftfield electronic sounds has made him a mainstay of Scotland’s vibrant club scene. Emerging from the fertile ground of the Sub Club and FLY Club circuits, Big Miz quickly earned a reputation for his dynamic DJ sets and energetic productions, seamlessly fusing classic influences with modern UK rave culture. Since launching his solo career in the mid-2010s, Big Miz has released a string of acclaimed EPs on labels such as Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, Shall Not Fade, and his own Tenement Sounds.
His music is characterized by chunky drum machines, wobbly bass, playful melodies, and a raw authenticity that nods to his upbringing amidst Glasgow’s DIY electronic community. On stage, Big Miz’s reputation as a selector is defined by his ability to meld party-starting anthems with deep cuts, always keeping dancefloors moving with a sense of mischief and unpredictability. Beyond his solo work, he has collaborated with artists like Hammer and Liam Doc, further forging connections within the UK’s wider underground scene.
With regular appearances at festivals like Riverside, Fly Open Air, and the world-renowned Sub Club, Big Miz remains at the heart of Scotland’s dance music renaissance, consistently pushing boundaries while honoring the scene’s roots.
