Scot Project is one of very few artists whose musical style is clearly recognizable throughout the dance music world. His signature sound has helped create the harder side of the Trance genre, and is now on the forefront of the Tech-Trance movement.
His unique combination of hard percussive elements mixed with melodic trance rhythms, he made him one of the most successful DJs/Producers in the world, and is widely referred to as the founding father of Hard Trance. . Simply put, Scot Project is without a doubt, a legend in the world of electronic dance music.
With regular performances at legendary club-land and festival spots all over the planet such as Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Slinky, Dance Valley, ID& T Events, Global Gathering, Homelands, Avalon, Velfare Tokyo, Airport, Space, Goodgrief, and many more, Scot Project continues a consistent delivery of his very unique sound at the world' most highly coveted venues.
Learning to mix at the age of 13, Frank Scot Project got his first break in 1986 playing break-beat in a youth club. When the acid house movement hit in 1988 Scot Project was hooked. By 1990 he was a resident of several clubs in and around Frankfurt and was spending his pay cheques on a small but potent studio.
His first track «X» was released on Overdose in 1994 shortly after, followed closely by the hugely successful {U - I Got A Feeling}, on Overdose/Positiva which charted throughout Europe. Since then Scot Project has established himself as one of the biggest producers of the harder edge of Trance genre, with a plethora of remixes and hit productions under his name including mega hits, {F -Future is now}, {O - Overdrive} and remixes like {second trip / Hennes & Cold}, {Cosmic gate / fire wire} {Yoji Biomehanika / Ding A Ling} or {thunder in paradise}, and other artists such as Talla 2xlc, Derb, Brooklyn Bounce and Yves De Ruyter, which stormed UK and International dance charts. He is also responsible for the project "Arome" with successful releases such as "visions of paradise", "somebody" and the massive success "Hands up".
Despite his non-stop tour schedule, Scot always found time to twiddle plenty of knobs in the studio. His melodic dance floor ripper «L» (Want Your Love) booted Eric Prydz's number one tune «Call on me» off the top spot of Discomania's 2004 yearly sales chart. The tune also ousted Mylo's «Drop The Pressure» and Deep Dish's «Flashdance» from the top of the German-based chart, with both Judge Jules and Fergie nearly wearing out their copies on their Radio One shows.
2006 has been one of the best yet for Germany's undisputed tech trance master. After more than ten years of top-notch studio production and crowd-pleasing DJ sets, the dreadlocked wonder released his long-awaited artist album, «A1». The frenzied response to the tasty mix of new era productions and much-loved classics sent Scot and his record bag spinning from Kuala Lumpur to Canada to satisfy the appetites of hard trance-hungry clubbers. «A1» shows the progress of his music style, further pushing forward the evolution of the harder edge of Trance. Good examples are also the recent remixes for Yoji Biomehanika's {Monochroma} and Yakooza´s {I Wanna Feel}
2007 is looking to be full of goodies for Scot Project fans. His highly anticipated Mix Compilation is now in the works, also coming soon is a 'Best of remix album', and a handful of new Scot Project and Arome singles.
