Scott Mac - Damager 01 / Shake n' Drum
Scott Mac is a pioneer of today’s dance scene. He’s already produced for established imprints about, like Ministry Of Sound, Positiva, Bonzai and Jinx, and DJ’ed across the globe, at venues like Escape Theatre in Amsterdam, Passion, The Gallery and Clockwork Orange in the UK, and other countries like Hong Kong, Israel, Ibiza, South Africa and USA. Scott has been producing for over ten years now - a unique and unrivalled blend of house, progressive and trance.
Scott Mac collaborated with Signum back in 1999 on the now classic ‘Coming On Strong’ and more recently remixed for the likes of DJ Sandy vs. Housetrap and Lange. And last year set up his own label, Limit.
Limit made their debut release in 2002 with Scott Mac and DJ Cams ‘Just Doing It’, signed exclusively to Judge Jules’ ‘Tried & Tested’ compilation, and the label returned the same year with Speakerfreaks 51st State sampling ‘P.O.S. 51’ (later signed to Duty Free).
The dancefloor devastating ‘Damager 01’ fills the A on Limit’s third release. “We (Scott Mac and Nic Goulding) came up with the first Damager after a few hours, doing a remix for Direction Records” revealed Scott in a recent interview. “We decided we wanted to take the hardness of the remix and make our own track, so we did.” A mind-bending trip that kick starts with a tribal and throbbin’ b-line and a deep groove infiltrating at the one-minute-thirty mark. Tearing screams of “Silence” and the vocal hook “Silence is a rhythm too…” intervene sporadically throughout as the ‘Damager 01’ drives relentlessly till the close. A cocktail of techno, hard house, funk and trance!
‘Shake n’ Drum’ meanwhile is more likely to ear prick the trance and tech posse. This Scott Mac solo production features a ‘Sound Of Goodbye’-esque bass that steers the tune into a trance course before a funked up bass takes the lead and merges with tribal-tinged percussion and the vocal hook, “I see what you mean now…” The result – innovative, forward thinking and absolutely bangin! It’s alternative but will undoubtedly grab the attention is deserves. The guy is a genius!
“More Damager’s and an increased amount of hard, high-tec funk!” promises Scott. “Watch out for Damager 02 and Livewire on Limit 002.” Bring it on!
