THIS IS MY FREQUENCY

I’m Ian Storm, founder of STORM Music Group — but my journey started long before the first beat dropped.

I came from the light to bring light. As a child, I felt different. While other kids played games I didn’t understand, I was building, creating, and dreaming. I spent hours in my own world.

Every morning, I’d press play on Music Was My First Love by John Miles. That song didn’t just inspire me it programmed me. 

The 90s changed everything. I was born in Belgium, my grandma was dutch. It was in Belgium where the foundations of trance were first laid in dark clubs and smoky warehouses,
where pulsing basslines echoed off concrete walls
and a new sound was born.

A sound that wasn’t just heard but felt.

It was there, in the heart of Europe,
that emotion found rhythm,
and energy found form.
The birthplace of trance was not a trend —
it was a frequency.

And it called to me. Dream dance and trance swept me away. The energy, the way it could lift your soul, sync thousands of strangers, and open emotional doors you didn’t know existed I felt it deeply. And I knew: this is what I have to bring to the world.

But as with many that try to follow their hart, my sensitive part was not appreciated at that time. I was bullied from time to time and was told not to be myself. Even my greatest passion, music, was dismissed at home. My heart retreated into silence. Hiding my feelings my was my only escape at that time. 

I learned to survive defend myself and to create freedom and independency for myself. I became an engineer, I moved to Holland, built companies, I created financial freedom, not for wealth, but for the freedom to follow my true calling. Yet the mask I wore to survive the hard, defensive version of me, stayed on for years. Only by meeting the right people, those who saw and amplified my light, did I learn to drop the mask, set boundaries, and live in my real frequency.

All that resistance? It made me stronger. Because you can’t bring light without learning to protect it and how to structure things in the material world. 

And so, I built STORM combining everything I learned as a Dutch entrepreneur with the emotional depth and nostalgic energy I felt in the early Belgian trance scene. The vision was clear: to create a label that merges structure with soul, and builds something lasting from pure feeling and energy.

STORM just as a label, but as an energy.

Because for me, success was never the point.
The point was, and always will be: energy.

That’s my gift knowing when a track carries true feeling, and when it doesn’t.
Some call me a trance guy. But here’s the truth:
I’m a feeling guy.

I believe that emotional, soul-shifting energy doesn’t belong to one genre. It can live in trance, house, tech house, melodic techno, breaks anything. People are too eager to put things into boxes. What matters is intention, timing, and frequency.

That’s why I built STORM Music to be a home for that energy, no matter its form.
All STORM sub-labels have one thing in common:
The right track, at the right time, that hits the soul just right.

When music hits the right frequency at the right moment something inside you shifts.
You let go.
You rise up.
You escape.

Escape Reality Back to Infinity.

STORM playlists and channels deliver you the right tunes at the right moment.
STORM DJs don’t just perform, they read the crowd and guide them on an energetic journey.
STORM parties? They’re more than events, they’re experiences. Moments when the STORM hits, and the energy takes over.

Because of everything I’ve lived through, the resistance, the loneliness, the fight for freedom, I now want to show others what’s possible. I want to teach people to believe in their own potential. To never accept limits set by others. To never believe the lie that “it can’t be done.” We are creators, we can all bring the light to humanity trought the power and energy of music. 

I was inspired by people who broke boundaries and redefined what was possible: Madonna, David Guetta, Richard Branson and the countless creators who shaped the soundtrack of my life. They showed me that you don’t have to fit in to lead. That creation is the ultimate rebellion. And now, through STORM, I aim to pass that energy on.

🎶 If you’re a producer and your music carries that same energy, send me your demo.
🎧 If you’re a DJ who wants the best new energy before anyone else, join our promo list.
❤️ And if you’re a music lover, follow me because I’ll always bring you what you didn’t even know you needed, exactly when you needed it.

Let's build the movement, lets built the STORM.

French producer Lonely in the Rain blends electronic sounds with live-recorded acoustic instruments and ethereal soundscapes to create memorable songs.

Inspired by artists like ODESZA, RY X, and Emmit Fenn, his music sits between electronic chill and pop, featuring captivating vocals and enchanting melodies that invite listeners to escape into a world of nostalgia.

Since 2018, he has collaborated with singers from around the world, including Panama, Winona Oak, Leo Stannard, and Appleby. Over the years, he has released four EPs, alongside his debut album, Odyssey Of Light, in 2023, and has remixed tracks from artists like Emmit Fenn, Vandelux, Forester, and BLOODMOON.

Lonely in the Rain’s discography has garnered over 350 million streams, earning him three certified songs: “Feel This Way” (Platinum), “Feels Like Paradise” (Gold), and “Blue Lights” (Gold).

In a dark kitchen in the middle of a sweaty night in Las Vegas, all 6’4” of Dan Reynolds is hunched over a laptop, slapping beats on the table and crooning lyrics into a tiny microphone. Before long, he and the other three members of indie rock band Imagine Dragons would be playing “It’s Time,” that same laptop-demo-turned-supersized-anthem, from the roof of a parking garage to a wave of thousands of screaming fans. This song title to the single from their 2012 debut KidInaKorner/Interscope release “Continued Silence EP” is an all too apt descriptor of the band’s hard-earned success—but it’s also emblematic of the deep-seated anxiety Reynolds and the rest of the band experienced leaving behind any realistic expectation of a normal job to do the thing they love most.

A third-generation Las Vegas native, Reynolds is no stranger to the adage “the house always wins,” choosing to pave his musical career with a near obsessive work ethic and hundreds of unused demos rather than roll the dice with the first songs that sprung from his mouth. It’s no surprise, then, that he was drawn to guitarist Wayne Sermon, another founding member of Imagine Dragons. Having practically grown up in a recording studio and graduated Berklee College of Music, Wayne had been practicing his guitar through meals and other socially inappropriate situations as long as he could remember; he challenged Dan in a way that was both uncomfortable and exactly what they both needed. When they began writing songs together and recognized something special was happening, Wayne called up his Berklee friend Ben McKee, who promptly dropped out of school with only a few credits left, moving across the country to play bass for the band. This sort of reckless/genius behavior is typical for Ben, who has an uncanny penchant for spicy food and a suitcase full of unbelievable road stories. More recently, the band was joined by drummer Daniel Platzman, another Bostonian schoolmate who seems way too nice to be playing rock and roll until you actually see him in action.

Several tours and three self-released EPs later, Imagine Dragons had made a serious name for itself, particularly in the west coast circuit. Although their songs vary from nearly whimsical and light to brooding and powerful, listeners are drawn to the inherent honesty in the music. The only rule of thumb for the band, it seems, is to write from a true place; the result is songs that literally run the spectrum of human emotion. Attend a concert, and it becomes clear that the live performance of deeply personal songs has a real effect on people. And the band itself is not immune, as demonstrated when Dan literally passed out into the drum set during a finale song, sending cymbals and drum stands crashing while the rest of the band played on until the close.

Great songwriting is bound to be noticed eventually. As proof that the harder you work, the luckier you get, one of those people who noticed was Grammy winning producer Alex da Kid (Eminem, Rihanna). Alex and Dan began collaborating on projects, and soon the band had developed a relationship with Alex and his team. The alchemy resulting from Alex’s hip hop sensibilities and Imagine Dragons’ anthemic rock is nothing short of explosive. The byproduct of this creative collision is “Continued Silence,” a six song in-your-face sonic grenade that breaks musical boundaries and yet is strangely relatable by its improbably diverse audience.

Despite it all, on any given day when they aren’t on the road playing shows, you can still find Imagine Dragons huddled away in a rehearsal room somewhere, banging out song after song in search of the next perfect track. Like most things in Vegas, the band is angled at going big or going bust. For the sake of those who love great music, we hope it’s the former.
