Scattered Productions

For over ten years now, Scott Alert has been known as an innovator at the forefront of the Melbourne and Australian dance music scene. Since his humble beginnings as a DJ in 1993, Scott has consistently pushed the boundaries of sound and knowledge with the style that he has nurtured since its infancy -– cutting-edge hard, energetic, deep and melodic Trance.

In 1995 Scott decided to build his profile and push his sound further, starting his own Tuesday night haven "Climax", which presented, for its time, the most upfront music and local talented DJs, making it one of Melbourne’s most successful and longest running Tuesday night events. After "Climax" completed its four year run, Scott Alert emerged with yet another event for the Melbourne massive, conceptualising and hosting the enormous Melbourne Love Parade parties in their early years, taking on the European wave and fusing it with Melbourne’s essence. As the name, Scott Alert, began to murmur through the dance music community, promoters were soon billing this talent for most major events throughout Melbourne, including Two Tribes, Slinky, Welcome, Gatecrasher, GodsKitchen, Hardware, Earthcore and Summadayze.

Soon Scott Alert was spreading his wings across the state dividers, –launching himself to crowds in the intimate club surrounds of Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and New Zealand, as well as Adelaide’s "Stardust Festival" (in consecutive years) and "Enchanted Forest", Brisbane’s "System 6". Throughout the years Scott Alert has also held down a number of residencies in some of Melbourne’s finest weekly clubbing institutions including "Hard Kandy", "Xsive" and "Escape" on Fridays, "Flipside" and "Sunrise" Recoveries on Saturdays, "Deluxe" on Thursday and Fridays and "S.O.N Days" on Sundays. In 1999 Scott Alert teamed up with DJs Ajax and Krash, together forming the (now infamous) "Kandy Kollective", –Melbourne’s premier Hard House, NRG and Hard Trance specialists and production team. That same year the trio gave birth to "Hard Kandy" – the home for approximately 1000-1500 punters each and every Friday. Running flawlessly for over 5 years now, Hard Kandy has become a clubbing institution in Melbourne. Not only have they managed to push the Hard House/NRG and Hard Trance sounds to the forefront of the Australian dance, they have also managed to put Melbourne and Australia on the map as one of the clubbing capitals of the world.
