Scott Bond
The name is Bond, Scott Bond, license
to DJ, spin records and thrill crowds. Surely he can’t
be serious with a name like that Quite the contrary, he’s
deadly serious, so much so that the company which manages
his DJing affairs – Serious Artists Management –
is also the same company which manages Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules
and a stable of other DJ superstars including John Kelly,
Sonique, Norman Jay and Luke Neville. But Bond is not just
simply a DJ, he has another secret line to his career in that
he is also resident DJ and co-promoter of the Sheffield based
superclub GATECRASHER. He has also written his own material
as an artist under the pseudonym of Q:Dos with a string of
remixes to his credit including Shimmon & Wolfson’s
Top 40 hit “Sundance” for React and Karmasutra’s
“Storm In My Soul” , all of this and he is not
a day over 25! Scott’s DJing career and dalliance with the disco decks
first began back in 1989 in and around Birmingham’s
very colourful night life with his first gig at the legendary
Hummingbird club. As Scott recalls, “playing the Hummingbird
was a baptism of fire, it was a case of being thrown in at
the deep end and just getting on with it. If the crowd didn’t
like what you were playing they would throw glass at you,
if you were lucky a bottle, they tended to bounce rather than
break! I managed to stay there in one piece and figure that
if I could deal with this then I could deal with anything.”
After Scott’s apprenticeship at the Humming bird he
began to branch out playing at various one-off parties for
friends around the city which were not exactly legitimate.
By now the young Bond had begun to make a name for himself
and it was not long before Karl and Barney – promoters
of the C.R.E.A.M. all-nighters in Birmingham had begun to
notice the talents of this rising star. Always sure to back
a winner Karl and Barney gave his first residency at their
all-night parties which had become renowned for their mad-cap
antics. Around 1992 Scott met up with Simon Raine, the then manger
of a club called Bakers. Raine had heard much about this talented
young DJ who was making a name for himself on the Birmingham
club scene. An ambitious individual, Raine had begun building
the basis for a new breed of dance club at Bakers, Scott was
the missing piece of that jigsaw.
That night after many double brandies, Simon and Scott struck
a deal, albeit on the back of a beer mat, Scott agreed to
become the new resident DJ at Bakers with Simon promoting
the new night call “Absolutely Ridiculous”. Little
did Raine and Bond know at the time, that five years later
on they would both be running one of the biggest superclubs
in the country. By now Scott had further plans deciding to embark upon a
recording career making his own records and why not Many
dance music records at the time were being churned out of
the bedroom and it had spawned a new dimension to club culture
in that dance music was being created both in the studio and
in the bedroom. Scott released his first record “Dap
Do Dah” on independent dance label Global Grooves which
received rave reviews and respectable ‘Club’ and
‘Buzz ‘ chart placing. Later that year he set up his own label with a rather apt
title of “ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS RECORDINGS”. Recording
under the guise of The Scott Bond project, he released two
records “While your feet are stomping” which featured
on Fantazia’s very first House Collection album mixed
by Boy George – and the follow up, “The Underground”,
both of which were critically acclaimed and supported by none
other than the dance father himself Pete Tong. By now Scott had earned his apprenticeship and in 1993 he
started his own night Republica at Bakers DJing alongside
other luminaries such as Boy George, Tall Paul, Seb Fontaine
and Judge Jules. Scott had become involved in DJing as an
interest outside of work as a shipping clerk, “I just
knew that my day job was just a way of making ends meet, I
loved DJing, it was the whole excitement of playing records
that had such an effect on people. I would long for each day
to go by so that I could go out at night and spin my records,
in the end it got the better of me”. Scott's interest
in DJing became more and more involved and it was not long
before he was forced to make a decision of DJing on a full-time
basis and leaving his job or carrying on being a shipping
clerk for the rest of his days. The encounter with Simon Raine was to prove more fruitful
than even Scott could imagine. In August 1994 Scott joined
Simon Raine to promote some one off parties under the name
of Gatecrasher, after all Simon had gained a reputation as
being a party animal and had often “gate crashed”
numerous parties, so the name for a club night was quite apt.
They both set about promoting their first night at the Archers
in Sheffield, a city which Raine had shrewdly picked for its
cosmopolitan night life. Sheffield had become the birthright
of the romantic era in the 80’s breeding bands such
as The Human League, ABC and Heaven 17. It was right at the
heart of industrial Britain where people were not afraid to
try something new, be it heterosexual boys wearing make-up
or a new club that offered a bit more of a night-out than
the local Ritzy. Located under some railway arches, the Gatecrasher
club nights became a huge success with all of the top DJs
demanding to play at the club. Both Oakenfold and Healy were
typically two of those big supporters of Gatecrasher. Artist's Web Links | Classic Trance Compilations
