Ian Matthewman - '53 Degrees North' Summertime Birthday Mix

Ian has been DJ'ing for the last 15 years and plays a mixture of Deep & Jackin House.

We asked him what gets his music juices flowing.....

"I've always loved that 'Jackin' vibe which emphasizes the Chicago and Detroit music scene, listening to the likes of Justin Long, Chuck Daniels, DJ Heather & Frankie Knuckles just to name a few"

He first go into House music after seeing Derrick Carter smash at Back2basics back in 1995 @ The Pleasure Rooms, Leeds. Since then he's played on a regular basis for one of West Yorkshires top promotions Down 'n' Dirty around the north of England alongside the likes of Inland Knights, Lisa Loud & Buckley. With his Down 'n' Dirty buddies, they've rocked Back2basics, Sankeys & Distrkt Bar.

He's currently resident at 53 Degrees North Bar & Late Lounge in Halifax & Leeds.

"Its a wicked little bar with a great vibe to it. We've got some great residents who week on week out bring the best music to Halifax & Leeds. We've had the likes of Chuck Daniels, Satin Jackets & Lovebirds playing"
