His new label and production company DBR which stands for Driven By Rythm The main objective of this Detroit based label will be very obvious percussion. If you listen carefully to each song you will hear a unique discussion between each percussion instrument. Drums are the driving force of all dance music DBR will present in every release the raw foundation of a dance music! The first release will be very limited to only 500. 250 have been preordered already. Scott Grooves has been a percussionist his whole life. It's time the world knows that! Hopefully with these beats Djs will be tempted to be more creative with thier mix. Enjoy!
Scott received his house music baptism from Jeff Mills' legendary "The Wizard" radio shows and going to the legendary 'Music Institute'. It was at this seminal club that he met Kevin Saunderson. After forging a friendship with Kevin, Scott tinkled the keyboards for Inner City.
Scott made his debut on Soma with the sublime "A New Day" (Soma 58). Scott's next release was his collaboration with Roy Ayers in a rendition of Lonnie Liston Smith's classic "Expansions" (Soma 65). This release originated after Scott approached Roy when he was playing a concert in Detroit. This superb track also featured the talents of Charles Green on Rhodes, Carl Homes on Bass. Remixes come from Spiritual Life's Joe Claussell and the Ballistic Brothers. After being Pete Tong's essential new tune and being hammered by the likes of Giles Peterson and Bob Jones, this release briefly enjoyed a national chart position (68).
These two releases were a prelude to his debut album "Pieces of a Dream" (Soma LP/CD11). This is an exquisite collection of pure house music. The most talked about track from the album Mothership Reconnection". This sees Scott coming together with Parliament/Funkadelic legend 'George Clinton' in a remake of the original classic "Mothership Connection". This collaboration began when Scott found live tapes of George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic in his recording studio (which is owned by Clinton!). When Scott approached them about a house remix he was told "It better be good!". And they certainly were not disappointed. This single format featured stunning remixes from Daft Punk (their only mix of 1998), Slam and Funk D'Void.
Scott has also produced an album for Detroit blues singer Thornetta Davis. A limited amount of promo's were available with mixes coming from Eddie Amador and Alton Miller with both the original and the Eddie Amador mix being featured on Pete Tong's Essential selection as the essential new tune.
