Tee.Scott

Tee Scott was an innovative DJ and producer/remixer who began impacting New York's underground dance scene in the early '70s. Scott is just as much a key figure behind the evolution of dance music as François Kevorkian, Frankie Knuckles, and Larry Levan -- if not more so. His legendary sets at infamous clubs like Better Days and Zanzibar continue to be talked about by those who were present, and his often reconstructive remixes -- including Northend's "Tee's Happy," a club hit that Madonna more or less appropriated as the basis of "Holiday" -- trail-blazed the art with methodologies that inspired peers as well as followers.
