Listening to the House Mix shows on Chicago radio in the late ‘80s gave him his first exposure to club music. The union of driving rhythms with electronic noises was a combination he could not get enough of. Soon he was working as a lighting technician at a Chicago nightclub. Working alongside a variety of DJs, he learned about mixing, and how to move a crowd. His skills on the lights landed him job as a senior light tech in Atlanta Georgia, where he would soon get his first gigs as a DJ. After more than a decade, and thousands of gigs in hundreds of venues, his passion for making a crowd move is stronger than ever. Patrick Scott’s first exposure to electronic music ( Wendy Carlos’ “Switched on Bach”) came at about age nine. He started learning about synthesizers and sound design early, though his musical training was mainly for guitar. Later, he played in several bands as a guitarist and a vocalist. Early in his DJ career, he started acquiring studio gear, and experimented in a vairety of styles of music. By the mid-nineties his tracks were getting recognition by labels and A-list DJs.

Being a prolific recording artist gives Patrick Scott’s DJ sets a fresh musical uniqueness that transcends what can be achieved through vigilant record shopping and solid access to promos. An edge that can only come from having strong original material to work into the set.

His passion for music keeps him constantly learning, hard working, ever improving. The name and sound of Patrick Scott is becoming more and more familiar to an ever increasing number of people.
