As with all walks of life, in every genre of music there are people who play their role the safe way and there are people who are never afraid to take chances. Since playing music is self-reflection, it’s no surprise that Scarborough native DJ SCARTAT has never been one to be pigeonholed in to just one corner. The diversity in his sets is unparalleled by a large number of Toronto-area DJs. He has been known to drop everything from drum’n’bass to hardcore, metal to hip hop, house to breakcore and everything in between, often to the delight and bewilderment of his audience.
His love of music dates back to his early years in school. He came up an avid metalhead with a penchant for the pure, hard and unsaturated sounds of Hatebreed and Metallica. He even cites very thickly musically layered artists such as Queen as inspiration. Scartat regularly attended metal shows throughout the city at venues like The Opera House and The Reverb; some of which became places he would later go on to headline at with sets of his own. His taste in metal is definitely reflected in his DJing. Scartat has built a name for himself as Toronto’s embassador to “mungle” (a term coined to describe a heavy metal / drum’n’bass hybrid of sort). While he may not have been the first person to play mungle in the city, he was certainly the first to build a fanbase as a result of it.
