Resident 'In The Mix' - Lee Scott 04032021

Lee is no stranger to understanding how to create a depth of sound. When we first met online a few years ago, Lee and I discussed our influences and it was evident that he'd stayed with the scene throughout all the genre creations, re-classifications and never-ending new sub-genres that exist. As a DJ he's simply stuck with the best method, find great emotive music regardless of 'genre' and play it with feeling and experience. The mix starts in a dreamy laid back state with 'Rhia', a lighter house with calm and soothing tones to lead you in. Pletca's 'Abala' on Tale&Tone notches the 'depth-o-meter' down just below the surface with beautiful rainforest tones home to some mystical indigenous tribe you'd love to dance with in unison. Aptly named 'Another Life' by Mariner + Domingo keeps us locked into the organic house grooves with a meandering and interesting rhythm and then... the vocal drops - 'The right Time, in another life'. Wonderful. Lee's hooked you in. A big favourite of mine from Andy Woldman & Katrin Souza takes us from the forest floor and gazing up into the night sky. 'Fragile Star' is an intelligent and serious slice of solid melodic techno, here Lee opting for the Ivan Aliaga Mix which delves deeper than the original, in keeping with the journey Lee's taking us on. Then, without warning, the tribal rhythms of 'Imperios' rumbles in and puts the mix into peak time, lights out mode. With the mix now set to optimum, Ezequiel Arias' 'Solar' glides in building patiently whilst percussion simmers over the top of a chunky prog bassline before delivering a light and airy soundscape that Arias is well known for amongst the big names like Hernan and Guy J. Oozing class and sophistication 'Bora' effortlessly melts in and creates a breathing space in the middle of the mix before making way for 'Lotus 79' a deeply warm and gentle track which delivers swathes of rich tones and gentle key changes gradually and subtly all the while leading us into the fantastic remix of Coldplay's 'Trouble', a track many have unsuccessfully converted into a credible electronic version for the underground dancefloor. Amir Telem's version here doing just enough with the vocals before delivering a stunning post-break arpeggio led head massage. Brilliant. 'Aliado' bubbles and shines with just enough brightness before descending into Alex Cicada's 'Syel' melodic techno deep swell. The lyrics borrowed from a track I used to play a few years ago doing just enough to keep you above water. The unmistakable sound of AFFKT rumbles in for the last track. With haunting off-key synths firing off into the abyss and a monster bassline, the track acts as a perfect fusion of sounds to close the mix. Mr Scott has provided us with yet another excellent take on what we perceive to be 'House Music' in the modern age. Here's a DJ comfortable in his own skin, comfortable with shade and light, rhythm and melody and his own ability to deliver a mix that takes in all of his experience and all the best that today's electronic music has to offer - whatever Beatport or the like decide to call it. A solid, interesting and intelligent mix from an old soul with a modern outlook.
