The Scumfrog, an Amsterdam native and New York City transplant, has evolved his sound by combining the best from both sides of the Atlantic with a sophisticated blend of New York dark and rock-influenced beats and sexy European sounds. His recent successes include four no. 1 club hits; 2001's Ibiza anthem "We Love You" (Rolling Stones 60's cover), his remix of George Michael's single "Freeek", the billboard dance smash "Love At First Sight" by Kylie Minogue, and his re-conception of Dirty Vegas' "Days Go By". 2002 was an exciting year for The Scumfrog. Highlights included collaboration with David Bowie on Positiva, and DJ Gigs all over the world.
For over ten years, The Scumfrog (a.k.a. Jesse Houk) spread his distinctive sound in clubs throughout Europe. In 1997, the DJ and producer packed his record bags and brought his sound stateside to New York City. During the next two years, he released "The Watersong", (featured on Danny Tenaglia’s "GU Athens"), and the soulful single "Learning To Fly", which he signed to R-Senal records, the label of house music heavyweight Roger Sanchez. The Scumfrog and Sanchez toured together in 2001, and ever since, this Dutch born DJ/producer has been a familiar face behind turntables around the globe.
