Scooter And Lavelle San Diego's finest DJ exports, Scooter and Lavelle Dupree return to SF on Saturday, July 13th to continue their exclusive residency. Always ones to raise the roof whenever they visit us, they rock the party like no other. Expect party bangers, up front house and classic floor fillers at the only place in SF that you can catch these West Coast legends playing together. Scooter And Lavelle With their jaw dropping mixing style, phenomenal production skills, easily recognizable look and unique sound, Scooter and Lavelle, are quickly climbing the dj ranks. Yes they are award winning dj's unto themselves, but when they spin together on 4 turntables - there is, quite literally, nothing like them out there. They have perfected the art of playing 4 records at once into a seamless sound uniquely theirs. Lavelle's banging progressive mixes is the foundation of their music, and to it Scooter adds in scratching and turntablism as well as hip-hop, rock and pop music loops. They've been known to mix in everything from the Sesame Street theme song to Eminem's “Slim Shady.†They have self proclaimed the genre- “bangin progressive turntablism.†No one else has been able to duplicate what they do and no one else could. Their ability to rock every party with their unique take on house music has garnered them international attention. Spinning together for over 9 years, they have blown up dance floors all across America and recently completed a 30 city US tour with Charles Feelgood. When they met years ago, they were both resident dj's at a small underground club in San Diego called The Candy Bar. Scooter would start off the night with his hip hop set, while Lavelle and others would close spinning house. On one chance occurrence, as Scooter waited for his check so he could leave, he began playing over Lavelle's music with one of his scratch records. The crowd gathered around in awe. Mouths hung open. Afterwards, everyone, including the promoter, expressed amazement. Scooter knew it could be even better if he had his own two turntables to work with. They agreed to bring in another set for the next show. That following week magic was born as Lavelle played solid house tracks and Scooter scratched, rocked doubles and threw in loops over it. The crowd ate it up! So well received, they were immediately asked to become residents by the promoter of one of San Diego's premier house venues. With over 2,000 club goers every weekend, they quickly became household names in San Diego and began playing up and down the west coast. And the rest, as they say, is history. Scooter and LaVelle have played together at some of America's top parties including Gods Kitchen (USA), Winter Music Conference (Miami), House of Blues (Los Angeles & Las Vegas) Crow Bar (Miami) and the Sundance Film Festival (Salt Lake City) just to name a few. They currently hold residencies at Las Vegas's premier party venues- Rehab at The Hard Rock Hotel as well as America's #1 Halloween party, The Fantasy and Fetish Ball. Voted one of the world's top 10 parties that must be experienced by Maxim Magazine, Scooter and LaVelle have rocked it every year since 2001. Their other residencies include San Diego's Aubergine and largest club venue, On Broadway. In Los Angeles you can find them at playing to sold out crowds at Club Rubber, Diezel and Naked LA and Denver continues to fly them out to rock Club Vinyl. They have built up a solid reputation in the dance scene and take a huge following on the road with them everywhere they play! A big part of their success is their complete outpouring of love for the music they play. These two are a high energy act. You will never find them bored behind the decks smoking a cigarette and staring at the crowd in disdain while they wait to play their next song. Instead you will find them in constant motion, whether it's with lightning fast hands rocking doubles, jumping up and down with the crowd or pumping their hands in the air- motivating the club to “make some noise!†Their act is always fresh and they continue to surprise both each other and their fans by bringing out secret records neither knows the other is going to play. Whether it's a classic house track or one of today's top hits, it has an appeal they know their audience will love.
