There are only 2types of music: good and bad, as the saying goes. I love good music. You can find more about me (including my latest mixtapes) at my site timscott.net.

As a kid growing up in Essex, my parents introduced me to The Beatles and The Doors and I developed an early fascination with the guitar and the classic 60s guitar heroes: Clapton, Hendrix, Page etc. Digging deeper into what influenced them, I discovered the Blues of Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy and through them, eventually, Jazz, in particular the so-called “Acid Jazz” of Mother Earth, Corduroy and Galliano. Someone suggested I should check out a DJ called Gilles Peterson who had a show on Kiss FM and suddenly my mind was blown wide open to jazz, funk, soul, hip hop, house, techno, drum ‘n’ bass... I tuned in to Kiss early to hear Joey Jay, Patrick Forge and then Dr. Bob Jones, each with their own distinctive sound.  

At the same time, my A-Level music mates and I were sharing our diverse music tastes and creating mixtapes to play in between lessons, showing off our latest discoveries. It was only a short hop to buying a set of turntables and diving into DJ culture, especially as I was now playing more and more electronic and sample-based music. I learned to beatmatch and work a mixer: a new DJ was born! I was lucky enough to be schooled at some seminal London club nights, such as rubbing shoulders with Björk and Goldie at Bar Rumba with GP, James Lavelle and Ben Wilcox on the decks. 

When I moved to Liverpool in 1994, I brought my decks with me and eventually found some like minded individuals and open-minded venues. Good times and lots of gigs followed: I got to support some of my biggest inspirations, like Gilles Peterson, Norman Jay and Roy Ayers, as well as pack up my tunes and play at continental club nights in Bern and Paris. I gained a spot on Samurai FM and used it to feature artists I rated, enjoying the chance to meet and interview some exceptional musicians and producers like Mark de Clive Lowe, Domu, Waajeed, Zed Bias and The Heritage Orchestra  

 Increasingly, I was dusting off my Cubase skills, originally honed on the school’s Atari ST, and producing my own tunes. I haven’t achieved my dream of appearing on Top of the Pops, but I have had some great feedback on my music from people I admire likeLaurent Garnier (“Great soul music... You can be sure that I will playlist them on the radio. Brilliant. Mille mercis. Full support from me”) and Ashley Beedle (“Very forward music and right up my street... great production”). I have been grateful for DJ and radio support for my tunes from Mr Scruff, Benji B, Kevin Beadle, Simon Harrison and Phat Phil Cooper to name just a few. 

After the Samurai FM stint came to an end, I set up an occasional mixtape series called ‘No Holds Barred‘ – some of which you can still hear via Mixcloud/links on timscott.net.

More recently, family life and full time work (the music industry wasn’t paying the mortgage, surprise surprise!) have occupied most of my time. I might have swapped the Technics for Traktor and Cubase for an MPC Live II but I have never lost my love of music and I still play the odd DJ gig and make a beat or two… I've recently started working on more downtempo tracks under the name 'The Dream Convention' - visit the Instagram to find out more about that!

My philosophy remains the same as always. Duke Ellington said “There are only two types of music: good and bad”. I’d soften that a bit by saying: there are only two types of music: stuff you like and stuff you don’t. I’ll keep bringing you stuff I like.

Bio: DJ SKYYWALKER, SHE IS...
Growing up in Florida, DJ SkyyWalker (Noni Walker) was heavily influenced by her father’s love and extensive collection of all types of music, ranging from rhythm & blues, funk, jazz and everything in between. Starting at 8 years old and through early teen years, she danced ballet, tap, jazz and traveled the country as part of an award-winning dance team. These experiences consistently exposed her to various genres of music and exploration of creative performance. As a teen and young adult, dance music in the form of deep house, drum and bass, techno, jungle and the classics were heavy in rotation as she spent most of her free time in music (and book) stores.
After graduate school, she moved to the famous "Hotlanta." After working as a health professional for about 10 years, a friend took her to an "ATL Greenhouse" party in Piedmont Park. It was a feeling of home to be reunited with kindred spirits and music for the soul! Soon after, SkyyWalker joined forces with and served as a promoter for the Atlanta-based Tambor Party. She credits those times as highly influential to her current DJ journey for both introducing her to international house music DJs / artists and expanding her awareness and admiration of the growing number of fantastic women house DJs.
In 2020, SkyyWalker became serious about spinning house music, honed her skills and now spins at clubs, parties, Atlanta festivals and has had gigs in DC and Miami. She also performs as an open format DJ for corporate events, private parties, weddings and celebrations. 
DJ SkyyWalker's passion and excitement to share her lifelong love of dance, creative expression and music are evident in her mixes and live performances. “As ‘SkyyWalker,’ I am a Djedi of the Music Order, illuminating the Force within all of us.”

Virtuoso guitarist Tim Scott mixes soulful melodies with dance-floor energy, blending jazz, funk, blues, pop, and Latin into pure instrumental euphoria.
