Scope for Best Deep House Artist – Beatport Music Awards 2009

One thing I have really loved since joining the Audio Tonic crew at 360 is getting introduced to DJs that I have never heard of before, but who are seriously talented, successful and should be introduced to all of you.

One such DJ/producer is Ric McClelland, aka Scope. Ric comes from Belfast in Northern Ireland where he holds a residency at the popular club Yello. He also plays regularly all over the globe including once in Toronto last year.

What really makes a DJ receive proper recognition these days is their production and nobody’s singles have made more people take notice this past year than Scope’s.

With a steady stream of much sought after tracks Scope’s sound is reaching audiences all over the world. His debut release ‘Strung Out’ was picked up by Urbantorque in 2007 and now only two years later he has a most impressive discography that has lead him to a Beatport nomination for ‘Best Deep House DJ of 2009′. He’s sharing this recognition with the likes of production veterans Milton Jackson, Jimpster and Kevin Yost; this is a huge honour up for Ric!

The set that he performed at 360 was brilliant!  I’m glad that he has passed it onto me so you can see what our Audio Tonic nights are all about. Listening to it again was even better the second time!

I can’t wait to hear what he will play April 10th when he returns to 360. If anyone wants to fly to Dubai to check him and 360 out you are more then welcome. The weather is going to be gorgeous and so will the music!
