After spending several years honing his craft and refining his identity as a musician, London-based David Scopes is primed and ready to make his mark on the electronic music community beyond his British origins. Sparked by his mum’s disco, funk and soul records that soundtracked his youth, David’s musical pursuits eventually compelled him to dabble in mixing and producing, and he was soon immersed in the London underground working various jobs, learning from others, and ultimately paying his dues. 2014 proved to be a turning point for David as he signed with Junction Records, an Amsterdam-based imprint run by Mathieu Carsique (aka Cool Tiger) that aspires to subvert the linear, loop-driven qualities of your standard dance music fare. David’s output as an artist, now underpinned by Junction’s ethos, began to converge on a darker, more militant, and slightly chaotic point of view: building a bridge between the timeless jungle and breakbeat characteristic of 90s U.K. raves with the relentless, industrial-leaning Berliner and Parisian techno of today. And these same ideas have not only permeated David’s approach to DJing, they are also elevated through his thoughtful selections and precise mixing -- all while relishing the opportunity to challenge his audiences, keeping a handful of obscure gems in his back pocket for when the right moment presents itself.
