Scott Bradford and Mark Armstrong make up two thirds of the DJ and production team Lexicon Avenue.

The duo have been keeping the North of England’s clubbers moving for over a decade with their close involvement with the legendary Shindig club night. The Newcastle based team also spin the world over and along with long standing production partner Chris Scott have produced tracks and remixes for a multitude of labels.

Their own Forensic label has been going from strength to strength since the first Lexicon release, ‘Hear I Am’, and with releases and remixes on Satoshi Tomiie’s SAW Recordings, Hooj, Renaissance, Audio Therapy, Yoshitoshi and Credence, Lexicon Avenue’s reputation as the one of the hottest production teams on the block is assured.

The duo have been leading figures in the North East of England’s club scene for well over 15 years, and as individuals, boast a huge CV of production and DJ credits. Scott, along with DJ partner Scooby, founded the legendary Shindig night that has played host to a Who’s Who of International DJ talent and is about the enter it’s 15th year making it one of the UK’s longest running clubs.

Associated with such a clubbing institution, Scott and Mark have landed DJ gigs across the globe including Japan, South America, Portugal, Lithuania, Romania, Croatia, Australia, Singapore, Korea, Jakarta, Dubai, India, Israel, Norway, Ibiza as well as Stateside trips to San Francisco, LA, Miami and New York.

Until recently they ran the legendary Flying Records store in Newcastle which is the place the guys met. Scott was the manager at the time whilst Mark spent his dinner breaks hunting through the latest releases, Scott decided to give Mark a job and the rest is history.

November 2002 saw the release of Lexicon Avenues debut mix CD on Bristol based label NRK as part of their critically acclaimed Nitelife series. their second compilation Forensic Science Exhibit A (a collection of past, present & unreleased releases on their own Forensic imprint) was released in the summer of 2004.

Then September 2007 saw Lexicon Avenue go head to head with Dave Seaman for Audio Therapy’s latest instalment in their Therapy Sessions series, which gained rave reviews from the press and clubbers alike. Aside from Lexicon, Scott and Mark also teamed up with Choo Choo Records head honcho Barry Gilbey to record using the alias Bush People with their first single “Nothings Safe / Nibblers” which was released on Forensic Records and went on to be the labels biggest selling release of 2006.

As well as their busy recording and DJing schedule Scott and Mark also find time to record monthly radio mixes which are broadcast across the globe in countries such as Argentina, Lithuania, Greece, Spain and Italy as well as regular guest slots on John Digweeds Kiss FM show. Whilst most notably Scott recently featured on Radio 1’s Essential Mix which was aired live from his Shindig club on Saturday 21st October receiving rave reviews.

If these aren’t the two hardest working gentlemen in dance music, then we don’t know who is!
