CHRIS SCOTT PROFILE
How many record producers can be found today that have made some of the most respected, quality and upfront house music in the world for 14 years? Who have grown with the scene and whose passion for it is as fresh today as it was at the start? If you're going to make a list then Chris Scott would have to be on it.
While still at school in the mid eighties, he would make a weekly pilgrimage to Newcastle to check out the sounds of the new wave of U.S. club music and the machines that made it and ever since buying his first drum machine in 1986 Chris knew that he was always going to make house music. So in 1992, after six self taught years, he released his first record.
From there Chris went from strength to strength writing and producing and his astonishing disography marks his achievements beyond the doubt of even the most cynical of househeads. From deep to dark, from progressive to tribal he's appeared on the best major and independent labels in world the including- Virgin, Island, Mute, PWL, Mercury, Deconstruction, Yoshitoshi, Airtight, Hooj Choons, Paper Recordings, Saw Recordings, Stereo, Audio Therapy, Junior Boys Own, NRK, Rennaisance, Plastica, Multiply,
He is co-owner of Forensic Records and now Octagon Recordings, has tasted top 10 national chart success with 4 top 30 records, remixed everyone from Depeche Mode to Danny Tenaglia and if you look closely at some of the bigger names in underground house music these days such as Lexicon Avenue, Echomen and Mooncat you will find that he is the one constant name through all of them.
It's these collaborations with Scott Bradford, Mark Armstrong and Anton Fielding that Chris now spends most of his time. Over the last seven years, performing live with Lexicon Avenue and Echomen and DJ’ing individually has taken him to some of the planets' best locations and most exciting clubs. From New York to Siberia, Buenos Aries to Tokyo and Moscow to Madrid he's proved that he's just as at home in the DJ booth as he is in the studio.
The amazing reactions of the A list DJs like Deep Dish, John Digweed, Sasha, Satoshi Tomiie or Danny Howells who champion his productions are always mirrored by the reactions of any crowd he plays to. So, with nearly a decade and a half of moving dancefloors in person or on vinyl, you can hear Chris's understanding of what makes house music so special.

OUT NOW 'Fulltilt EP' from Glasgow outfit Mr Hajika.
4 slabs of groove driven tech house...
Fulltilt original is a chugging, bass heavy track with a subtle musicality that develops throughout. Dr. Bergers remix is a stripped down deeper edit, with an infectious flow that maintains the essence of the original. Similarly to Dr. Berger, Alex Fiction strips back the layers to uncover an electronic soul which builds into an intelligently emotive interpretation, if slightly twisted. Completing the package is 'Nitemoves' which shares the big sound of Fulltilt, but with a more progressive, melodic vibe."
