DJ Scott Profit first appeared on the Cornish rave scene back in the mid nineties, initially frequenting nights at the Venue (Penzance) and the Shire Horse (St Ives) he went on to become a regular at numerous local house parties and Phase 2s. After learning to play vinyl at 17 years old on his mates Soundlab DLP-1 belt drive decks he looked to hone his skills on Technics 1200s and 1210s when he would get the chance, taking direct inspiration from his friends who were playing Trance/Techno and Acid Techno on the party scene at the time.
After registering some of his first mixes out at local parties from the age of 18; playing Reactivate albums and records he'd begged and borrowed from friends under the name DJ Profit; he set about amassing his own personal collection of Vinyl, a collection that would hit over 500 records at the height of his first stint of DJing on the local scene. This would lead to a number of years of playing popular nights, not only at local parties such as Pendeen, St Agnes and Gwithian beach parties but also numerous sets such as Rig linkups in Cornwall, Bristol and the Glastonbury Travelers field back in the day. He would also go on to play some of the most popular local clubs of the time, his club appearances would include The Waterfont (Carlyon Bay), Dance Academy (Plymouth), Club Zeus (Formerly Strawberry Fields, Hayle) where he would hold a residency for over a year.
DJing into 2000 Scott would eventually take a hiatus at the end of that year and it wouldn't be until mid 2000's that he would resume where he left off, making some appearances at local parties and a few of the local rigs that were running raves and free parties at the time. This is when he changed his name from DJ Profit to Scott Profit, a move that made him instantly more recognisable on the local scene.
Scott would go on to reignite his DJ career and during this time he would also write music and play several gigs as a singer for a local electronic crossover band.
These days you can find Scott playing at numerous local gigs including the hugely popular Masked Ball and Frendzy just to name a few. He also makes occasional appearances for local Cornish Techno promoters Signal and recently he has played at the hugely popular and influential Orbital Gathering nights which have been taking the local scene by storm in the last few years. He was also included on the Inter Cellar line up for The Forbidden Garden Party 2023, a hugely popular event in Devon which featured huge artists such as The Orb, Trevor Rockcliffe, Colin Dale.
