If there were one word to describe Scott Nelsen's DJ career, it would be "consistency." DJs are not invited multiple times to spin at some of the Southeast's hottest dance clubs on a fluke, they get requested due to a solid foundation of mix compilations and successful gigs. In short, Scott Nelsen has built a reputation as the go-to guy for crowd-pleasing, floor-filling progressive music in a variety of genres.
Scott Nelsen's gig history reads like a who's who of electronic music. He has DJed alongside names such as Kazell, Dirty Vegas, Paul Oakenfold, Sandra Collins, Jimmy Van M, Boy George, Nigel Richards, Richard 'Humpty' Vission, Dave Ralph, Dieselboy, Steve Smooth, Bad Boy Bill, Sean Cusick, John 'Quivver' Graham, Scott Henry, Charles Feelgood, and DJ Tiesto.
Scott credits a DJ competition and a mix CD contest for kicking off his career. In January 2000, Scott won a local DJ competition hosted by the infamous Nashville club "Outer Limit". Not more than a year later, he won Mixer Magazine's annual mix CD competition, taking him to Ibiza to open for Paul Oakenfold at the legendary club Pacha (and making Nelsen one of a handful of DJs who has played with Oakenfold on both sides of the Atlantic). In addition to this trip to Ibiza, Nelsen has graced the decks in Atlanta (eleven50), Charlotte (Mythos), Miami (Space and Crobar), and nearly every club in Nashville, where he currently resides.
Nelsen's sets involve an eclectic mix of upfront progressive house, tribal beats, lush breaks, and electro funk, with a constant focus on listener accessibility. Put simply, he manages the difficult task of pleasing hardcore music junkies and new fans alike.
In person, it's clear that Scott Nelsen has a deep understanding of the inner-workings of the club scene. His strong musical background in bass and keyboard performance has offered him a very long view of career success, a perspective that boils back down to his trademark: consistency across the board as a cutting edge progressive DJ.
