Scott Forshaw: From Hard House Kid To Dubai Superstar

This week on Hard House History, Paul Glazby catches up with one of the scene's most intriguing success stories, Scott Forshaw.Many hard house fans will remember Scott as the teenage producer and DJ who burst onto the scene in the mid-2000s, playing Storm, Frantic and the legendary Weekenders before most people his age were even allowed through the door. But while many artists stayed within the boundaries of hard dance, Scott's journey took him in a completely different direction.Now based in Dubai, Scott has built an incredible career that has seen him amass over 40 million streams, play alongside some of the biggest names in dance music, and perform for crowds of over 100,000 people. From opening for Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris, and Martin Garrix to an unexpected encounter with Jennifer Lopez, Scott shares how a bad week in the UK led to a life-changing move to the Middle East.Paul and Scott dive deep into the evolution of club culture, the differences between old-school hard house and today's VIP bottle-service scene, the realities of ghost production, songwriting camps, and social media DJs, and why being pigeonholed can be both a blessing and a curse.There are plenty of laughs along the way as the pair reminisce about Storm, Insomniac, Frantic and the golden era of hard house, while discussing ADHD, Metallica, family life, and the challenges of balancing creativity with commercial success.It's an honest, funny and fascinating conversation with a producer who quietly became one of dance music's most successful exports.Join The HistoryEnjoyed this episode?
