Scott Lewis’s love affair with DJing began back in 1997 at age 17. His early musical influences ranged from Depeche Mode to Spandau Ballet to Queen, later becoming embroiled in the house and techno from the likes of the Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers along with music from DJs like Tall Paul and Jeremy Healy. He would cement his passion for dance music at the same place many of his generation would vouch as their main influence; Liverpool's clubbing institution, Cream. Here, he absorbed the sounds of Jon Carter and the blistering beats of Timo Mass along with the deeper Chicago sound emanating from The Annexe all inspiring him to create sonic tapestries of his own.

Scott held down residencies in his hometown, but was soon playing gigs throughout Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Preston, and beyond, developing his sound and style at some of the most renowned nights of the North.

In 2007 Scott chalked up appearances at the Circus and Chibuku afterparties as the resident DJ, playing alongside luminaries such as Yousef, Green Velvet, Jesse Rose, Claude Van Stroke and Justin Long, impressing the dance floor with energetic mixes from the darker shades of house, often dipping in and out of the worlds of techno and acid. In April 2007, he beat off tough competition to be crowned champion of the iDJ raw talent competition, with iDJ calling the mix, “...an hour of the type of mean and jacking techno, electro, acid and dirty house that strobes and sweaty cellars are made for.”; receiving plaudits from Nic Fanciulli along the way.

Rapidly becoming one of Liverpool's rising stars, 2008 saw him notch up DJ slots at the legendary club night Circus,, as well as at a clutch of the most innovative and exciting club nights the city boasts. In 2009, Scott became a regular at Circus with him becoming one of the resident’s in 2010; playing alongside, and warming up for a who’s who of the dance scene including Yousef, Steve Lawler, Ricardo Villalobos, John Digweed, Tim Green, Derrick Carter, Claude Von Stroke, Fergie, Paul Woolford and Heidi and Cassy to name a few. He also kicked off proceedings in the legendary Courtyard at Nation when Cocoon came to town, as well as playing at the epic Radio 1 500th Essential Mix Party on the same bill as Richie Hawtin, Sasha and Pete Tong.

Playing strictly house with a relentless solid groove, he has forged an inimitable style of his own and with his focus on making and remixing music, 2011 should see Scott become one to watch.
