Scott Diaz Podcast

We’re proud and excited to announce that our first Undagrnd Freqz vinyl release is available to pre-order now from Juno Records. https://www.juno.co.uk/products/scott-diaz-matt-the-best-of-both-words-vinyl/1047598-01/ Here’s what Juno had to say about the EP: “Matt Jam Lamont & Scott Diaz first joined forces more than a decade and a half ago and have been at it ever since, remixing Raze, Craig David, All Saints, Adina Howard, Rosie Gaines and more, as well as making waves with DJ appearances like their iconic B2B Glastonbury appearance. Having formed their Undagrnd Freqz label in 2020, serving up a brace of floor-slaying classics including a collaboration with US garage pioneer Todd Edwards, and 'Haribo' with Smokey 'Bubblin' B, clocking up more than a million streams and 36 million views as part of Fred Again's now legendary Boiler Room session. Their latest, 'The Best of Both Worlds', nods at their skill for fusing the best elements of both house and garage across four tracks of razor-sharp vocal chops,

The 'Otherside' mix series returns with a brand new mix and a brand new look. If you don't already know, The ‘Otherside' mixes represent another side of what i’m about as a DJ and artist, showcasing styles that either I've been into for years but don't always get to play out, or that have nods to genres that have influenced my sound and direction, or are perhaps just more obscure types of vibes that are geared more towards listening than dancing. As a DJ and music fan before anything else, and as a music collector and lover of such a broad range of music, it really made sense to curate these mixes in terms of mood and theme. I mix them completely live and a lot of the time I've never played the tracks before so it’s all new in terms of how I attempt to make it all flow. I also try not to play a record more than once in any episode of this series. Episode 008 is dedicated to the goodness of gospel house. Whether it's the church-soaked soul of DJ Spen, party praise jams from the likes of Moodymanc or the ge

Here's the recording of my 90 minute set at the recent Soul Fusion event held at Mama Roux's in Birmingham. Tracks from Darius Syrossian, Amine Edge & Dance, Mad Villains, E-Smoove and Dungeon Meat plus a whole bunch of my edits. Please share if you're feeling it!

Otherside 007 journeys across various styles of house plus nods to UK Garage, 2-Step, Electronica and Jungle / Drum & Bass and is a collection of some of my favourite records to share. 'All Back To Mine' is based on the kind of vibes you'd hear if you came back to my place after the club or maybe for the pre-party, and is a good representation of some of my influences, musical heroes and/or most nostalgic moments throughout the years. TRACKLIST: Doc Daneeka - I Promise (Feat. Seven Davis Jr) Andy Hart, Francis Inferno Orchestra - D2ME Scott Diaz - The Ocean Was Always You Replika - Whisperer Janet Jackson - I Get So Lonely (Jengi x More Beats Club Edit) Chaos In The CBD - 78 to Stanley Bay Round Shaped Triangles - Too Soon Samuel - A Million Things Scott Diaz - Change My World Scott Diaz - The Difficult Third Track Moon Boots - C.Y.S.

I’m pleased to present Otherside 006 - Deepest Oceans. They’re all so fun, but putting this one together really was a joy. I mix them completely live and most of the time I've never played the tracks before so it’s all new in terms of how I attempt to make it all flow. I also try not to play a record more than once in any episode of this series. As you’ll know by now, each one follows a theme and this edition is curated around deep, sophisticated records that somehow seem to speak to us on higher levels, or at least they do to me - tracks with exceptional production, chords, textures, ultra-soulful vocals and beautiful progressions, and as if by some form of alchemy they capture that magic that succeeds in conveying deeper meanings to us and wrangling out every last drop of pure, yearning emotion. It’s a dedication to those transcendent moments and connections we’ve all experienced with house and dance music: from late nights and early mornings talking to strangers and making new lifelong friends, to unexpe

Otherside 005 takes us into filter-disco-house heaven. As with all the other mixes in this series, this is by no means a definitive collection (there's several fantastic records and artists not included here - Cassius, Fred Falke and obviously Daft Punk immediately spring to mind), rather it's meant to be a curation of some of my personal favourites that fit the feel and vibe. You'll find a mixture of old and new with more than a couple of nods to the Roulé label - legendary cuts from the likes of Thomas Bangalter, DJ Falcon & Alan Braxe all appear here plus there’s stone-cold classics from Kid Creme and Junior Jack alongside more recent funkiness provided by Rebuke, Darius Syrossian, Alex Session, Kreap, Melé, Kevin McKay and more. Enjoy!

Otherside Mix 004 is dedicated to the warm up. That oft-misunderstood, but oh-so crucial opening set. With very few exceptions, it’s where we all start from and even though so much has changed in clubland and with the craft and culture of DJ'ing, the importance of a good warm up DJ to set the mood is still paramount. It’s a great opportunity to play a few of those under the radar finds, vinyl edits and personal favourites without the pressure to drop obvious anthems. It really is a rewarding experience to be able to hand over to the next DJ having done your job well, with the vibe built up just right, and the party ready to go to the next level. Ultimately, I think being a great warm up DJ means putting your ego to one side and understanding that a great event with memorable moments starts with you playing the right records, with the right energy, at the right time. So in that spirit, I’ve put together a 2 hour live mix of music that represents something like my ideal warm up set. Enjoy…

The ‘Otherside' mixes represent another side of what i’m about as a DJ and artist, always mixing LIVE and showcasing styles that either I've been into for years but don't always get to play out, or that have nods to genres that have influenced my sound and direction, or are perhaps just more obscure types of vibes that are geared more towards listening than dancing. As a DJ and music fan before anything else, and as a music collector and lover of such a broad range of music, it really made sense to curate these mixes in terms of mood and theme. In this edition of the ‘Otherside’ mix series, we head straight for the mainroom - upfront tracks designed for maximum impact. Every record you’ll hear in this mix has been tried and tested on late night dancefloors - I guess most of it would be classed as tech house, but whatever we label it, it’s my personal take on the kind of underground vibes I like to deliver in the mainroom - jackin’ drums, driving basslines, plenty of vocal hooks and serious peak-time power.

In this episode there's a bumper selection featuring some of my favourite records on 2018, plus some exciting news regarding the evolution of the show for next year. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/scott-diaz-podcast/id1000453019?mt=2 1.

The theme for this edition is ‘jazz house’. There’s been an explosion of these jazz infused house records in recent years - some of it is made for the dancefloor and some of it is most definitely outside of those confines, but it’s an evolution which owes as much to crate-digging beatmakers like J Dilla and Pete Rock as much as any house producer. I see this style as a synthesis of jazz, soul hip hop and lo-fi - often there’s wonky chords, squelching synths, loose beat programming and dusty vinyl-inspired aesthetics, and sometimes it doesn’t have any or all of those components but what ties it all together is that there’s always particular jazz leanings, or the clever use of jazz samples scattered throughout.
