NRK Music welcomes belfast DJ/producer Scope (AKA Ric McClelland) to the fold, and his debut for NRK has 'epic' stampled all over it. Influenced by
producers as varied as Kerri Chandler, Ian Pooley and Funk D'Void, Scope has been making great headway in the production world with some stella works for labels like Urban Torque, Forensic and CR2. Bridging the gaps between soulful, deep house and techier territories, Scope has also remixed for the likes of Francois Dubois, Milton Jackson and Little Green men.
On his NRK debut, Scope delivers a great anthemic deep house production. "Omoplata" delivers steady, swinging punchy beats, heavy , thick stabs and dramatic strings not heard since Quentin Harris's "Let's Be Young". Comparisons will be made to Quentin's finest hour, but Scope commands his own style here. The "313" mix gets all acidic on yo ass with some classic old skool pianos giving this mix a nice retro feel.
Omoplata is available now exclusively on Beatport

Surely a contender for "tune of the year", "Go That Deep" by Nufrequency feat. Shara Nelson has united so many genres of house over the last few months, and thanks to a slew of remixes by Charles Webster, Skylark, Kemistry, Redanka and Neon Heights, the powerful vocal record looks likely to linger for many more months yet...huge DJ support has come from all quarters, with Gilles Peterson, Pete Tong, Laurent Garnier, John Digweed, Francois K and a host of other top jocks getting behind this sublime record.
