Ian's first exposure to music was when his father introduced him to the sounds of Jazz and Blues whilst he was growing up in his home town. His first experience of house music was back in 1998/1999 when he started to frequent clubs such at Sankeys Soap in Manchester and Cream in Liverpool. He soon developed a love for anything with an infectious groove and a four by four beat and spent many hours searching out the latest house music promos from labels such as Siesta, Bluem, Tango and Detour at shops such as 3Beat and Eastern Bloc Records. Early influences for Ian included Mark Bell (Shaboom Records) and the likes of Halo and Hipp-E, Onionz, Tony Hewitt, DJ Sneak and Carl Cox. Since then Ian has grown to love and admire DJs and producers such as John Digweed, Sasha, Richie Hawtin, Robert Babicz and many many more. Ian has played at some great clubs across the UK and hopes to continue to spread his musical influences in clubs around the UK and hopefully further afield.
