In nearly 15 years of utilizing dance as a healing modality, Scott Houston has come to believe in the inherent wisdom of the body and the power of sound to move it. Scott produces & facilitates events that are an open path to healing through a communion with the embodied self.

Scott is classically-trained musician & trumpet player of 35+ years, accredited 5Rhythms teacher, devoted Husband & Father, performance artist, as well as Co-Founder, Director, & Resident DJ of Sol Dance in Atlanta.

Musically, Scott boasts a uniquely diverse range that spans across all musical genres, masterfully being able to weave any dance-floor from a point of stillness to climax & all the way back down into the deepest states of bliss + contemplation. Because of this skillset, Scott is known regionally as a go-to sonic-curator for intentional movement-spaces of all kinds as well as truly unique, high-vibrational community experiences.

As an Atlanta based artist & DJ – Scott is known for his collaborative mindset & appearances at regional festivals, as well as local events, parties, rooftops, warehouses, and gatherings all over the city - specifically through his residency with the chic underground music collective Project B. As such, Scott has had the privilege of vibe-setting for a variety of artists including: Acid Pauli, Mihigh, Gescu, Arapu, Viken Arman, Varhat, Janaret, Bobi Stevkovski & Yoko0. Most recently having joined Tambor Party & Stan Zeff on Afro-House adventures around ATL & abroad in Egypt.

Additionally, through collaborative efforts with Reciprocity Music, Scott has had the pleasure to perform alongside Porangui, Mose, Deya Dova, Liquid Bloom, & Savej.

You know Dirtybird for dropping basslines and creating smiles on the dance floor since January 2005.

The fun family vibe of the Dirtybird label can be traced back to a free event started in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. This new kind of house music went against the smooth vocal house that was popular at the time and derived its influences mostly from hip-hop, drum n bass, and American funk. The free outdoor BBQ party was very rough around the edges but eventually became legendary amongst the people of San Francisco. This event was also a very influential factor in the decision by Claude VonStroke to start the record label in 2005.

Today, Dirtybird has offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles and has expanded into events and tour production. As it grows, the brand continues to expand beyond music into merchandise, licensing and artist management. In 2015, Dirtybird launched the inaugural Dirtybird Campout festival, which has been dubbed “Summer Camp For Adults”, and Dirtybird has been recognized from their achievements by being awarded "Underground Label of the Year" at the International Dance Music Awards, “Label of the Decade” by Mixmag, “Best North American Label” by DJ Mag, and Billboard’s "Top 5 Independent Dance Labels".

We are evolutionary movement artists in service to the emergence of each person who shows up in our laboratories. We curate sonic movement journeys and containers that weave the ever changing human into becoming accountable and fluid, leader-full and in-sight full. We are steeped in dance, ceremony, literature, fashion, theater, strength, and humor.

We are heart activists animating our inside education of the ancient future. The body is our divining rod, music our ally, silence our guide. In this time of fragmentation, information overload, lets unplug from the network and plug in to the net that works.

The 360 Emergence is a free-form movement practice which straddles the line between dance and personal growth, between rigor and freedom, between individuality and community. It is a movement map that will take you on a journey of discovery.

The 360 awakens its 10,000 eyes to see from every perspective, to walk the worlds between ordinary and non ordinary reality.

We invite you to join this movement.
