“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

SF based Kotton Dandy is a huge fan of breaks and sometimes higher energy House music. If you put him on very late at night he might show off his semi-secret fascination with gothy techno.

Kotton is part of the magical community of fun-making called Decadent Oasis. You might know them as the LED tree people at Burning Man. They do their best to make Bay Area fun on a regular basis.

During the pandemic, Kotton joined Unison to raise money for charitable causes by throwing online and hybrid parties for fun folks looking for connection while sheltering in place. Learn more at unison.stream.
