“You can teach someone how to mix, but you can’t teach them how to be a DJ.”

In an era of pre-recorded sets and prima donnas who are more in love with the spotlight than they are the music, it’s words like these that solidify Ian’s reputation as a premier house DJ. A rōnin who’s traded swords for turntables, Ian’s been a veteran of the U.K. music scene since 1989. From Spain to Holland, from Hawaii and beyond, Ian’s sought-after skills have landed him gigs in cities around the world. And now as a resident of Victoria, B.C., Ian brings his hard-hitting beats to venues across Canada. One simple rule guides him and the party-goers in attendance: if you come out soaking wet, then you know you had a good night.
Music has always been in Ian’s blood. A classic rock father and a pianist mother ignited the flame that he carries with him today, a pedigree that his daughters now share. For Ian, music isn’t something for your ears to enjoy; it’s a way of life—something that you live and breathe. As Ian states, “I can’t relate to people who say, ‘I used to be a DJ.’” 
For more than 20 years, Ian has been revitalizing dance floors.  Along with his own label (Keep Warm Recordings) and shows around the world, his decisive passion for the industry shows no sign of slowing down. What keeps him invigorated is that rapport with the crowd. Whether a state-of-the-art venue or a 300-person room, everything hinges on that connection.  
“Get them up there and keep them up there. At the end of the day, it’s entertainment and not education; if people aren’t dancing then you’re not doing your job.”—Ian Devlin

Born in San José, Costa Rica, 1999.

Underground Minimal Deep Tech & Tech House DJ, 

A music lover as the main principle! I started my music taste since a kid, around 5 years old, from there when I had around 13 I got an special taste for the underground housy tones, I loved what I heard and started to find new sounds and music styles like Minimalism and these type of tones, Hard Groove music, Tool Room music style, and plently more. 

From all these tastes and others that I got on the way and had inspiration from started to mix music at the age of 16. In that process I went from Deep House to House to Progressive House Styles to more Tech Tones keeping the melodies in the inside and so on until I developed certain style on the decks where I was happy with, being able to share with people and the Costa Rican Underground Music Scene the love for the music that we all have, based on this, my start and gate gig occured back when I was 18. 

Currently liking to put on the decks some deep underground combinations of Tech House Grooves with Minimal Deep Tech thus Grooves itself going in the music way between each transition.

On every music set you may find from Minimal Deep Tech tones getting developed thus some Tech House grooving, sometimes some housy minimalistic tech groovie melodies, you never know! 
   
Thanks to every listener, this is for the joy of every House, Deep, Tech House, Groove, Minimal music lover! 

Respect to the music, respect to the life, respect to every human being. Hope the love of God unites everyone through the music. 🙏🏻
