Closing things out, Davide teams up with DRAXX for ‘Daddy’, a track that hits hard with vibrant percussion and relentless rhythm, embodying the pure essence of late-night club heat.

Renegade Masters: DJ Scottie
18 December 2024 - Shelley Dodds
Over the years, DJ Scottie has built a formidable reputation in the UK rave scene, playing at an impressive array of large-scale events and smaller, more intimate gatherings across the country. His career has seen him grace the stages of legendary events such as Dreamscape, Slammin’ Vinyl, GodKitchen’s Global Gathering, Helter Skelter, Fantazia, HTID, Vibealite, Raindance, Uproar, and Fast Car Magazine at the Excel Centre in London. His versatility as a DJ has also led him to perform at numerous club events, spanning a variety of styles and audiences across the UK.
In addition to his own performances, Scottie has shared the stage with many of the most influential acts in the dance music world, from pioneers in Rave and Hardcore to prominent figures in Drum & Bass, Trance, and Techno. Some of the legendary names he has collaborated with include Slipmatt, Judge Jules, Grooverider, Scott Brown, Fabio, Ian Van Dahl, Dougal, Hype, Dave Pearce, Gammer, Clarkee, Rat Pack, Hixxy, Top Buzz, Nicky Blackmarket, Sy, Micky Finn, Darren Styles, Ellis Dee, Ratty, Seduction, Jumping Jack Frost, Vibes, and Ray Keith. These collaborations highlight Scottie’s broad appeal across a wide spectrum of genres, cementing his status as a respected figure in the electronic music scene.
Although Scottie stopped playing new music at events in 2005, he remains a beloved figure in the scene, often returning to play old skool and classic sets at special events. His ability to capture the energy and essence of the rave scene’s golden era continues to resonate with both long-time fans and newer generations discovering the roots of electronic dance music. His occasional appearances are highly anticipated, as his sets bring a nostalgic yet timeless atmosphere to any event.
I first became aware of Scottie through a friend who told me how good he is, when I saw his name pop up at a local event at Unit Nine in Milton Keynes, I knew I had to get there early so I could see for myself and I wasn’t disappointed…he’s actually far better than some headliners! A chance meeting at Sanctuary Forever, a chat in the smoking area and a couple of Facebook messages later and here we are today…our last mix of 2024!
Given the many years DJ Scottie has dedicated to perfecting his craft, it seems only fitting that he has earned the title of Renegade Master!
