Bio
The tale of Cypher's love affair with music, and the midwest's subsequent romance with him, is one of the critical veins in the body of dance music for his local scene. He is every dancer's secret discovery; a reluctant night out that unexpectedly turned magic. His success came not behind a major label release, or a world tour, or a radio hit remix: It happened when enough people had the private Cypher experience for themselves in an old dusty warehouse or abandoned skating rink during the wee hours of the morning.
This is evident by the mass of "Cypher Supporters" you will find scattered all over the Midwest. In dance music circles, Cypher's name conjures fond memories of unforgettable gigs at destinations throughout the Midwest. What punctuates Cypher's skills as a DJ is his capacity to not only incorporate diverse genres and styles, but to transcend them by infusing his music with pure emotion. Cypher's talent is matched only by his passion, which has seen him become one of the true Dj's that stay true to the art.
If you ask him, it was a question of right time, right place. Talented yes; opportunistic, definitely -- and just a little bit lucky.
Humble beginnings is what you will find if you dig behind the scenes in the early parts of his career. Starting his own mobil dj service as a freshman in High school in 1989 was the start of this musical journey that brings him to where he is today. It wasnt until he moved to Chicago in the late 90's that he would do dive into the world of electronic music as a performer. Frequenting the Crobar nightclub in downtown Chicago , Scott knew that this was what he was missing. "The energy was unmatched and the people were passionate about the music like nothing I had ever seen before." He took the hard driving club sounds and put his own spin on things when he moved back to St. Louis in 1998.
Known in the late 90's for his hard bangin UK Acid House sets in the underground scene, Scott now pushes the boundaries of the best in progressive techno and house music. His style is limitless with an enormous bound of continuous energy that can’t be matched. It’s Dance Music, with a lot of different twists. Depending on the situation at hand, his sets range from ethereal feeling house , to dark driving poppy/proggy techno. Nothings ever set or the same when he’s on the decks, the music is always freshly delivered.
Moving into the studio doing his own production, is now what drives Cypher once again to recreate those memorable times from his past. "There would be nothing like seeing another Dj drop one of my original tracks that would drive the dance-floor into a frenzy! This circle of life and music is what it's all about - Evolving as a person as well as a performer." Cypher remains incredibly humble and grateful to be in pursuit of his passion.
