- About:
- 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. Reinspired 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 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 is far from being 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 produces 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!!!’ Original beats have been made available through well received EPs on Jonny Miller’s Jus’ Listen label, Liverpool’s own Blue City and Universal Vibes. More fresh beats will soon be forthcoming from Sick Trumpet and there’s a Tim Scott remix EP on the way, also with Universal Vibes. Some exciting collaborations and remixes are already planned and under starters orders for 2008.
With play and support for Tim’s productions coming from Mr Scruff, The Unabombers (Xfm), Benji B (BBC 1Xtra), Kevin Beadle (Solar Radio), Enrique Domenech (Fusionova021), Simon Harrison (Basic Soul) and Phat Phil Cooper
(Sick Trumpet/Juice FM) 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…

new 2types on Samurai FM - featuring Tru Thoughts label focus
Hi All,

It was a beautiful day when I recorded this show - although the weather in the UK has reverted to the usual drizzle since - and I decided it was high time to focus on the work of one of my favourite labels, Brighton-based Tru… Continue
new 2types on Samurai FM with me
Hi All,
For the first time on this site - and in fact, for the first time in 2008 - I can say: it's time to head over to www.samurai.fm/2types/play to hear a new 2types show!
It has been a hectic start to the year and it was a hectic end to 2007 (think house move, 3 weeks voluntary work in Uganda, renovating new house from a rewire upwards etc etc), so it has been a little while, but I hope you'll think it was worth the wait... the new music was… Continue
