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.

I’m Ian Storm.
This is my story.
This is my frequency.

No accurate depiction of electronic music culture would be complete without special mention of Deborah De Luca. Widely acknowledged as one of the most prominent flag-bearers for Techno globally and a regular fixture inside the world’s most distinguished DJ booths, Deborah has the unique ability to transfix crowds with her electrically charged, technically nuanced sets, fusing hard techno with minimal grooves and melodic soundscapes to absorbing effect. A pioneer in the use of social networks as a promotional tool, whilst somehow managing to retain a strong sense of discretion in her private life, Deborah is unrivalled in her determination and passion, earning every part of her current status as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the international Techno scene over the past decade.
Born under the shade of the infamous Vele di Scampia – one of the toughest districts in Naples – the now-globally recognised DJ, producer and label head came from humble beginnings, forging her path to international success against unlikely odds. However this was to become her making. “You shouldn’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t become”, she expounded in a rare interview, referencing her early livelihood as a nightclub dancer. “It’s true, in recent years I have gained popularity, but I am very grateful for the long journey it’s taken”. More than anything else, Deborah’s roots and her unwavering ethic are an integral part of the flourishing artist we see before us today.
Deborah spent the formative years of her musical career in Northern Italy, following a brief stint at fashion school in Modena. Cutting her teeth on the European club circuit, where she quickly realised music was her true calling, Deborah’s hard work and relentless determination eventually began to pay off and in 2013 she launched her very own imprint Sola_mente Records. Created as a platform by which to release her own music, free from creative pressure and external constraints, the label went from strength to strength and in November 2018, Deborah marked a decade-long career in the industry with the critically acclaimed release of her debut album ‘Ten’. A huge milestone for the Italian producer, ‘Ten’ represented an important rite of passage and a body of work that she would cherish indefinitely.
