Scott Ouellette\u2014known on-air and on the decks as DJ Skott<\/em>\u2014has been a force in dance music and radio for over two decades.<\/p>\n

His journey began in 1994 as an on-air personality at WHSN 89.3 FM<\/a> in Bangor, Maine. By 1995, he was holding down weekend nights at WHMX 105.7 and soon after, in August of that year, he introduced himself as DJ Skott on WUPI 92.1 FM<\/a>. In those early days, his sets centered on eurodance, house, and early trance\u2014setting the foundation for what would become a signature sound.<\/p>\n

By 1996, he returned to WHSN and, in 1997, took on the role of Music Director. That same year, DJ Skott launched Beats Per Minute (BPM)<\/em>\u2014Bangor\u2019s only dedicated dance music show at the time\u2014featuring eurodance, trance, house, and hard house. In 1998, BPM began streaming live via RealAudio, an early move into internet radio that showed his forward-thinking approach. Though vinyl wasn’t allowed in the studio, DJ Skott mastered mixing with CDs, mini-discs, and computers\u2014WHSN was a fully digital station.<\/p>\n

In 1999, DJ Skott relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, and made an immediate impact with his 9.9.99<\/em> mix<\/a>\u2014recorded using only CDs, which at the time was seen as both innovative and controversial. Despite some purist backlash, his talent and energy won over local crowds, and he quickly booked club gigs before the new millennium.<\/p>\n

By 2000, DJ Skott expanded his skills to include vinyl mixing and developed a more aggressive sound he dubbed Power Trance<\/em>: melodic, epic, and progressive trance played at 147\u2013151 BPM for maximum energy and emotional impact.<\/p>\n

In 2003, he began refining his style again, returning to more melodic roots and bringing the tempo to a powerful yet balanced 145 BPM. In 2005, he evolved once more\u2014crafting sensual, vocal-rich trance sets that hovered around 140\u2013142 BPM with lush, emotional melodies.<\/p>\n

In 2006, DJ Skott shifted focus back to radio, founding the BPM Radio Network<\/em><\/a> to showcase emerging and classic dance music across digital platforms.<\/p>\n

After a brief hiatus, DJ Skott returned in 2019 with a new series of mixes under the BPM<\/em> name\u2014paying homage to his original radio show. These new mixes blend forward-looking trance with timeless classics, offering fans both nostalgia and discovery.<\/p>\n

This website serves as an archive of over 20 years of DJ Skott\u2019s work\u2014radio shows, live sets, and studio mixes. Whether you\u2019re a longtime fan or a new listener, there\u2019s always something fresh on the horizon.<\/p>\n

From Bangor to Phoenix, DJ Skott has moved crowds with passion, precision, and powerful energy\u2014often seen singing along with the vocals and deeply connecting with his audience. A Maine native and once one of Arizona\u2019s best-kept trance secrets, DJ Skott continues to push the boundaries of sound and emotion.<\/p>\n
