Ian is the newest member of the Kai Zen team having only joined in February 2010. He is looking forward to an exciting year alongside the Kai Zen team and hopes that 2011 will give him some well deserved exposure to the London scene.

Ian always centres his sets around quality deep and tech house music with a solid groove and melody. This probably originates from his first exposure to music by his father who 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 attend 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.
