Scott Diaz
UK • Defected / Nervous / Large / Grand Plans
Scott Diaz has ploughed a wide and all encompassing path during his almost 20 years as a music fan, clubber, DJ and artist, playing and producing right across the spectrum of house. Never one to be pigeon-holed, his influences and sound range from jacked-up warehouse grooves and the club-focused UK house and tech sound, right through to raw, soulful, jazzy cuts, filtered disco and mid-90’s U.S jams, taking in all that’s great about modern dance music.
Whichever sub-strain of house, garage, disco or jazz-flecked vibes he turns his hand to, it would be fair to say that he’s firmly cemented his place as one of the most diverse and exciting producers to emerge in recent years. His peers would seem to agree, with the likes of Todd Terry, Josh Butler, Oliver Heldens, Simon Dunmore, David Penn, MJ Cole, MK, Sam Divine, Sonny Fodera, Black Loops, Meggy, Joey Negro, Mark Farina, Friend Within, ATFC and Low Steppa all charting and supporting Scott’s music. Traxsource featured an impressive 7 of his records in their ‘Best of 2016’ lists as well as placing him in their top 50 deep house artists at the end of 2014, 2015 and 2016. In 2017 he went several better, being named at the #8 spot with no less than 10 remixes and productions being included in Traxsource’s end of year bestsellers lists.
