Scott Upper's tracks have been spun by DJ's at events such as the Love Parade in Berlin, the Street Parade in Zurich, and thousands of raves and parties throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Rave-O-Ween combines the best of Scott Upper's dark techno with original gothic melodies combined with sound effects, ghoulish samples, and ghost stories, creating the essential Halloween Party Dance Music CD.
Rave-O-Ween is the first installment of Soundry's Halloween Dance Music series. For more information and additional releases, visit the Soundry website.
