Scott Brown
Q: Who are you, where you from, what do you do? A: Scott Brown, from Glasgow in Scotland and I am a record producer/Dj. I am also label boss and owner of Evolution Records. Q: How did you choose your DJ / artist name? A: My mum chose it for me. Q: Got into hardcore when and why? A: I've been into hardcore since the dawn of time....basically cos I love it! Q: How many track releases you have under your belt A: Too many to count - hundreds literally! Q: Tell us about your live act? A: I play live on-stage with q-tex and occasionally on my own as an 'evolution' pa. Q-Tex features Gillian Tennant on vocals singing tracks such as 'Power of Love' & 'every time I close my eyes'. We also have choreographed dancers who help make up the stage show... Q: What is your future plans for hardcore for the year ahead? A: It's kind of hard to say cos I normally only work about 2 months in advance. I've just released 'Hardcore', a new mix CD by DJ Neophyte and myself. We plan to do a follow up later this year. There's also a few other album projects coming up but I can't say too much until contracts have been signed! As for Evolution and E-Plus, I'll still be writing plenty of hardcore for these labels! Q: What are your current involvements or projects you are working on? A: see above question! Q: What do you think the future hardcore styles will be or evolve into? A: If I knew that answer, I'd be a very rich man. Music evolves slowly, sometimes quickly - hopefully I'll be there when it does change. Q: Favorite record label? A: Neophyte (Holland). Q: Favorite DJ (other than yourself)? A: Dutch - Neophyte or Viper. UK - Probably Brisk... Q: Best / favorite hardcore moment? A: hmmm Difficult question. Probably playing at Rezerection Event 2 in Edinburgh. I walked on to play in front of 15,000 people and they started going crazy. I was walking along the stage to the dj box when this happened, even the dj's at the time (scorpio&producer) looked round as if to say 'what the ****'! Q: Worst hardcore moment? A: Having my records stolen. My car was broken into in Sheffield, England - my clothes, my phone and my records were all stolen. Q: What you do in your spare time? A: Same as most other people. Relax, go to the cinema, enjoy football, spend time with my girlfriend! Q: You have a web site? A: http://www.evolutionrecords.net Q: You have a public contact email address? A: [email protected] Q: What's your message to all the hardcore punters all over the world? A: Stay safe and true to the scene..... without you, we couldn't do what we do!
