With his DJing roots firmly planted in early nineties hip-hop, Scott C’s love of beats and rhymes leads to musical awakenings in jazz, funk, beats, boogie, broken and the Brazilian spectrum. The GOODS, a monthly party started in August of 2002 by Scott C and Andy Williams, was created to provide a warm alternative to the average Montreal night out. Some guests have included Mr. Scruff, DJ Spinna, and Bugz in the Attic. Scott and Andy can be found on Montreal’s CKUT 90.3 FM every Sunday afternoon from 2-4pm for The Goods Radio Show.

Catch him on the STM stage this sunday Septembre 5th at 16:30.

How did you get into this?

My very first roommate was studying to be a chef, but he had a complete DJ setup and a lot of house music and hip hop. I spent my free time learning to mix by trial and error, and soon started buying my own records.

What’s your ideal setup to rock a crowd?

The basics. 2 turntables, a mixer and a mic. If the crowd is ready and willing, that always helps too.

What do you usually bring to a picnic?

I think a little bit of real lemonade is essential.

What’s the first song that made you go crazy?

I vaguely remember turning up the radio and dancing like a fool whenever Sheila E's "Glamorous Life" came on.

What’s the last song that made you go crazy?

A tune called "Further Away" produced by Zed Bias, and featuring vocals by Tawiah. Been stuck in my head on repeat for months.

What song will you never drop?

Anything by Beyonce.

Funniest request you’ve ever gotten?

Somebody once asked me if I had the trance remix of the Inspector Gadget theme song.

Most memorable DJ experience?

Years ago, we ended up at a classic Montreal loft party at 4AM, right after my then regular Friday night gig. There were loads of people but there was no music or DJ in sight. My friends eventually convinced me to jump on and drop some records, and I just played and played. Just a random and amazing party takeover that will never happen again. So Montreal.

Biggest fail of your career?

I could've had an incredible position with J.S.F.S. (the Japanese Society of Fisheries Science) if I wasn't so into music. Hopefully they will give me another chance.

I say Piknic, you say...
