“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

As a teenager I always enjoyed the music my Father played on the acoustic guitar and piano, my father was a music teacher and always wanted me to learn but I dint want to. Finally I found the instrument I loved at the age of 17 Turntables. Me and my good friend David (IAMDJNRG) started with regular turntables, then of course I could not continue and he did becoming a professional, so now with technology so advanced at age 47 (as a Hobby) I decided to follow my love for the art of making people Dance, be Happy, and enjoy Life one Beat at a Time. I'm now 50 and regret not learning music from my father. He passed in 2019 due to cancer. I lost my inspiration for music and pretty much everything that had to do with music, he was going to teach me the basics and I figured that it would make his time during his chemo therapy a little bit exciting. But he only lasted 5 weeks, cancer did not even give him a chance to fight. Its almost a year later and I finally feel the Love for the music I had before. So here I go again very soon I look forward to uploading a simple mix Iam working on, its definitely challenging with out knowing the basics.
