The After Dark 2 Collection

After Dark 2 07-11-1997 Dj Scott (Warm Up) Mc Attack Mc Techno-T Mc Stompin

Oioi — I'm DJ Hoot! From Seaham to sound system I've been spinning nocturnal beats and flying through frequencies since 2003, originally starting off on a pair of belt driven Numarks I got for my 14th birthday which were so sensitive and super hard to get the beat match right, I upgraded to the Stanton STR830s after a year of sussing out the basics. I then finally got my first pair of Technics 1210mk2 in 2005 and never looked back. 

After years of stacking crates, I reluctantly made the switch to digital when vinyl releases started to dry up, the music always comes first and I had to keep up with the times as well as the tunes.

Over the years I've held different residencies, in local clubs playing house and techno, different raves, and making regular appearances at underground free parties delivering midnight rhythms from dusk til drop, this has blessedly has took me to play at some of the UKs best festivals such as Balter (RIP) and the mad and mighty Boomtown, but I still hunger for more.

These days I’m not out as much as i'd like to be — the scene has changed a lot, but the passion definitely hasn’t. So if you’re a promoter and you like my sets, you can DM me direct for bookings.

I play a wide multitude of genres from House and Trance to Hardcore and Techno with all the sub genres that come with it all, of course being from the north east the Makina energy runs through my veins and more recently the Hard Bounce 240 km/h sound in addition to the revival of Hard Trance/Hard Style reverse basslines in todays Hard Techno.

I hope you enjoy my page, please like/share/repost anything you find that is a bit of you, I would hugely appreciate any support. 

In an era that’s all about clicks and clout, I try and stick to what got me hooked — skills, selection, and energy. The craft will always comes first. Big love!
