For over ten years now, Scott Alert has been known as an innovator at the forefront of the Melbourne and Australian dance music scene. Since his humble beginnings as a DJ in 1993, Scott has consistently pushed the boundaries of sound and knowledge with the style that he has nurtured since its infancy -- cutting-edge hard, energetic, deep and melodic Trance.

In 1995 Scott decided to build his profile and push his sound further, starting his own Tuesday night haven "Climax", which presented, for its time, the most upfront music and local talented DJs, making it one of Melbourne's most successful and longest running Tuesday night events. After "Climax" completed its four year run, Scott Alert emerged with yet another event for the Melbourne massive, conceptualising and hosting the enormous Melbourne Love Parade parties in their early years, taking on the European wave and fusing it with Melbourne's essence. As the name, Scott Alert, began to murmur through the dance music community, promoters were soon billing this talent for most major events throughout Melbourne, including the Every Picture Tells A Story Parties, Two Tribes, Slinky, Welcome, Gatecrasher, GodsKitchen, Hardware, Earthcore, Summadayze. Madasss and Holy Noise.

Soon Scott Alert was spreading his wings across the state dividers, -launching himself to crowds in the intimate club surrounds of Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and New Zealand, as well as Adelaide's "Stardust Festival" (in consecutive years) and "Enchanted Forest", Brisbane's "System 6". Throughout the years Scott Alert has also held down a number of residencies in some of Melbourne's finest weekly clubbing institutions including "Hard Kandy", "Xsive" and "Escape" on Fridays, "Flipside" and "Sunrise" Recoveries on Saturdays, "Deluxe" on Thursday and Fridays and "S.O.N Days" on Sundays. In 1999 Scott Alert teamed up with DJs Ajax and Krash, together forming the (now infamous) "Kandy Kollective", -Melbourne's premier Hard House, NRG and Hard Trance specialists and production team. That same year the trio gave birth to "Hard Kandy" - the home for approximately 1000-1500 punters each and every Friday. Running flawlessly for over 4 1/2 years now, Hard Kandy has become a clubbing institution in Melbourne. Not only have they managed to push the Hard House/NRG and Hard Trance sounds to the forefront of the Australian dance, they have also managed to put Melbourne and Australia on the map as one of the clubbing capitals of the world. Across the ten year time span, Scott Alert has accumulated a fine history and to date, has played alongside some of the world's rawest, talented and most renowned DJs/Producers. Including Tiesto, Captain Tinrib, Max Alien, Fergie, Yoji Biomehanika, Lab 4, Karim, Billy Bunter, Jon Doe, BK, Dave Lee, Dave Randall, Tidy Boys. As well as Brain Bashers, Rachel Auburn, John 00 Flemming, Chris C, Oliver Lieb, Tsuyoshi Suzuki, Nick Sentience, Tobias Lampe, Sven Van Hess, Nuw idol, DJ Tom, Taucher, Kevin NRG, Lenny D, Dave Angel, Mark NRG, Guru Josh, Quazar, 12"Thumpers, Stimulant DJs, Scot Project, Phil Reynolds, Jeff Mills, Paul Van Dyke and Derrick May. To name, but an elite few, -this condensed list highlights Scott Alert's ability to hold his own in an international circuit. Scott Alert's production work - portraying through his own tracks the same raw talent and hard edged, trance sound that has made this man so widely regarded and respected. In the last two years Scott Alert has teamed up in the studio with some production legends such as Jon Doe and Billy Bunter of Honey Pot Hard Records, John Truelove, Dave Randall, Krash and Ajax. All this has made Scott Alert a highly revered soul in Melbourne's dance music community. This talented master of the morning ceremonies is constantly fresh and full of passion and even described by fans as an "emotion" rather than a DJ -- one "emotion" truly not to be missed.

HARD KANDY RESIDENT EP1 produced by Scott Alert & Jeremy-K

Australia's leading hard dance experience now brings you the sound of all-Australian hard trance, hard house and everything in between! Get ready for a showcase of Oz's best dj's and producers strutting their stuff on vinyl for your ears only. First release sees Hard Kandy living legends Jeremy K and Scott Alert bangin' out their latest efforts. Hot on the heals of their stellar performances on the brand-new HK Episode 3 CD!


Side A is "Yeahhh!" - a tuff-as hard house stormer from Jeremy K with that supersonic compound of solid beats, throbbing basslines and soaring crescendos we all love so much. There's enough hard house power in this tune to drive a small locomotive, so play it loud, and play it often!

Side B sees Scott Alert take us on a rolling journey into dark and atmospheric hard trance, with his blistering track "Check the Perimieter"! A brooding hybrid of a track, it takes the best foundations of UK hard dance and twists them into a pulsing, spinning storm of synths and bass, guaranteed to send any dancefloor on a one-way ticket to bedlam!
