Scott Richardson
Founder of what has become a staple in the Australian electronic dance music movement, Trancetribe, Scott Richardson is a name that is synonymous with trance. His support and involvement with the local scene has seen Scott become a respected member of the rapid moving EDM world. His on stage performances across the country have been highly regarded, and Scott has experienced a rapid rise in the Australian club scene. Being honored to already have been a resident at several prolific club nights in Sydney, Australia, plus various appearances at the most prestigiouse special events, Scott now further's his passion for music with production and remix projects. With work on his own record label now being a primary focus for Scott as well as his involvement with the Trancetribe, 2007 and 2008 look to be very busy indeed.
In 2003, Scott, along side his partner, Vanessa Hamilton, launched Trancetribe.com. Trancetribe, a dedicated online trance community and news web site, saw a massive response from the Australian dance community.
As a DJ, one could say that things have been a rollercoaster ride for Scott, who has been honoured to play at some of the country's most respected events by some of the world's biggest brands. In 2005 Scott graced the main stage of Godskitchen's world tour in Sydney, supporting Above & Beyond and Gabriel & Dresden. Later in 2005, Scott was honoured to play at GATECRASHER, supporting M.I.K.E and John O'Callaghan! In 2007, Scott graced the decks in the Godskitchen Arena at Future Music Festival, supporting the likes of Ferry Corsten and Sander van Doorn.
It was the small, underground trance parties that kick started Scott's DJ career, however. As these events grew to become more popular, Scott founded his first residency - A Night Of Trance. Scott's unique, yet undoubtedly melodic trance sound eanred him a solid following throughout the clubs. However it has been his versatility as a DJ and careful track selection that has proven him to be a highly regarded performer. Via a combination of progressing through the various sub styles of trance and adding elements of tech and techno, Scott has been able to create exciting atmospheres in clubs. Building up the tension and letting it explode with massive uplifting bombs, or taking the sound on a darker tip with tech trance are common traits of an SR set.
Ultimately, it's the organic and euphoric melodies that drive Scott's sound as a DJ. But also expect a tough and driving influence to the overal music style. Producers such as John Askew, Fred Baker, John O'Callaghan and Octagen are among Scott's top producers, and their sound has definitely made a mark on Scott's overal sound as a DJ. It goes without saying, however, that DJs like Tiesto and Armin van Buuren have heavily influenced Scott's sound, and Scott draws from both the melodic nature of Armin's sound, and also the rougher, more tech flavoured styles of Tiesto.
Scott's first official double release will be out in the coming months on Trancetribe Recordings. The tracks "Saint" and "Exodus" are driving uplifting bombs. Along with remixes for the likes of tyDi and Patrik Carrera in the works, time is now a major aspect to Scott's musical career.
2006 Scott collaborated with fellow Aussie producer, Barry Lalor with a new alias titled 'Southern Sons'. This is a new project for Scott that will further extend his range as a musician. Like his own productions, the Southen Son sound will be powerful melodic and driving trance, with distinct melodies and tough, punchy percussion. Keep an ear out for the first Southen Son's release soon.
At the end of the day, it is Scott's passion for the music, and love of the scene that drives his ventures with the trance sound.
