Interview with Scott Garcia by Tom "Cheggs" Paton

TCP: Scott, how did you first get into the music industry?

SG: I started DJ’ing when I was about 14, from there I started DJ’ing on pirate radio stations. After that I opened up a record shop and started DJ’ing more and more in clubs.

TCP: What have you been up to recently?

SG: I’ve been very busy concentrating on the Corrupted Crew with Mike Kenny, we’ve had 9 releases in the last year. I’ve also being DJ,ing every Friday at Options in Kingston where we have our night which is very successful at the moment.

TCP: How much do you think garage has changed recently?

SG: I don’t think it has changed very much apart from it has become a lot more mainstream.

TCP: How do you see the garage scene in the future?

SG: I think there will be a split between the R’n’B style garage,which will become more mainstream and dominate, and underground garage ie. speed garage.

TCP: What do you think about Artful Dodger and DJ. Luck getting into the top 10?

SG: I think it’s brilliant, it’s what the scene needed.

TCP: What new talent are we going to see in the future?

SG: We’ve just signed up a great new R’n’B called, "Legacy" to Chronic records. I also feel we are going to see a lot more good acts and producers emerging in the next year because there are a lot of oppurtunities nowadays.

TCP: What are you going to be doing in the future?

SG: I am going to be working on Chronic Records and keeping that going and I am also looking to do an album deal.

TCP: What other music are you into at the moment?

SG: I’ve been listening to a lot of hip hop and R’n’B. I think the new Dr. Dre and Eminem albums are excellent.

TCP: Finally Scott what advice do you have for people wanting to start DJ,ing?

SG: Don’t give up and keep persevering.

TCP: Thanks very much Scott!
