31 Records main man, Doc Scott is a name that’s always talked about over here at In-Reach. He is one of drum and bass’pioneers, an originator and an innovator. Part of the original Metalheadz crew, Doc Scott represented at the weekly ‘Blue Note’ sessions who were known for their legendary Sunday night educating sessions.
