After immersing himself in the burgeoning dance scene in London during the early nineties, Tim Scott took his DJing and musical skills with him to Liverpool in 1994 where he continued to spin music. He enjoyed plenty of gigs during this time; however his record collection then lay dormant for a few years before picking up from where he left off in 2002. Re-inspired by the slow emergence of the nu-jazz and broken beat scene that was fusing together the genres he loved, Tim's style is to join the dots between different sounds in an exciting fashion. Heavily influenced by the sounds he heard as a regular at the then new That's How It Is in London with Messrs Peterson, Lavelle and Wilcox and dancing the night away at the Blue Note, Tim was immediately attracted to left of centre dance music and the acid jazz scene. Today his musical taste is as broad as ever, and his ability to juxtapose genres is his trump card, best heard in his respected '2types' show on leading internet radio station Samurai FM (http://www.samurai.fm/2types), which has also featured interviews with musical heavyweight guests such as Platinum Pied Pipers, Domu, Mark de Clive Lowe and Alex Attias. He is also a resident at Liverpool's excellent 'Gold in the Shade' night at the Magnet and can be heard playing sets all over Liverpool, the UK and occasionally continental Europe.

DJ-ing isn't the sole focus of Tim's creativity; he has been making music of one sort or another since a neighbour first lent him a guitar at the tender age of 6. Having discovering the joys of Cubase on his school's Atari ST, he has produced computer-based music inspired by the many diverse influences that also come through in his DJ sets. Tim's productions are unpredictable and range from soulful slow burners to all out dancefloor destroyers. He has worked on a number of remix projects including contributing to the 'Filewile Remixed' double LP for Switzerland's leading laptop pioneers Filewile. They liked the remix so much, they chose it as one of their four favourites to release on the promotional 12". A collaboration with US soul singer Shu led to the vocalist describing the resulting tune as 'absolute fire!!!' No stranger to positive feedback, Tim's re-edit of Kid Sublime's 'Analogue Sugar' received international radio play. Original beats have recently been made available by Jonny Miller's Jus' Listen label and more will soon be forthcoming from Sick Trumpet Records and Blue City Records. With play and support for Tim's tunes coming from Benji B, Kevin Beadle, Simon Harrison and Phat Phil Cooper to name just a few, his musical taste is as broad as ever, so whether he's DJing or in the studio, watch out for thumping beats, squelchy basslines and jazzy antics...
