With impeccable track selection, inspiring mixing, and a natural ability to read a crowd like few others, Lachlan Scotland is clearly destined to be regarded among the global DJ elite. Few jocks bring the kind of energy to the decks that this man exhibits every time he spins, regardless of whether he is playing for a few friends at an intimate gathering or a packed dance floor full of screaming party people with their hands in the air. Anyone who has ever had the privilege of hearing Lachlan rock a party would agree that he always leaves them begging for more.

Lachlan Scotland was first introduced to dance music during the early 90’s when a friend from Germany sent him MP3’s of some of the hottest up and coming techno artists in the world. As dance music evolved his love for the music began to blossom.

Residing in the Bay Area just an hour away from the dance music hub of San Francisco, Lachlan soon became hooked on the scene through his best friend Dylan. Dylan had purchased turntables and was spinning at many underground raves and house parties during the height of the rave scene. “At one of these parties I watched my best friend simply captivating everybody. People that didn’t even know what techno or house music was were all dancing and freaking out. I felt the energy of the room move and shift, rise and fall and instantly knew that this was an art form and something that I wanted to do. What an amazing gift to give to people, helping them set there minds free from worry and just let go!”

Lachlan first played at little house parties for his friends, which soon progressed to djing at local bars and clubs. He has since held residencies in Sacramento, Reno and San Francisco. He has played events in Las Vegas and international gigs in Puerto Vallarta and Central Mexico, rocked the decks at the Love Parade in San Francisco and enlightened the souls of the desert at Burning Man.

His style on the decks is very much dependent on the crowd he is playing for but he always leaving them jumping and screaming for more. Lachlan blends progressive house, electro, tech, breaks; anything with funky bass that moves the floor. “Some of my DJ idols are Mark Farina and Dylan Blumberg aka Kaya. They both have such a funky, techy style and always bring the energy to rock the dance floor. James Zabiela, Anthony Pappa, Wally Lopez, Dr. Kucho, and Satoshi Tomie would be my idols on the more progressive side. Their music has inspired me in so many ways and some of their mixes have lasting memories attached to them.”

Lachlan is currently working with partner Eric Sharp, throwing underground parties and club events in and around San Francisco under the banner of Rock It Science Productions. He is also teamed up with John Kobe of Xessential, working on cutting edge dance events.

Recently falling in love with studio work, his first production projects due to come out in the near future. Watch for Lachlan Scotland to become one of the most sought after DJ’s in the world. And when it happens he will still have a huge smile on his face and find immense joy in sharing his uplifting, positive energy and passion for getting down with you.
