Kelly Sylvia is a DJ/producer, songwriter and vocalist. As a seasoned DJ, she has toured on 4 continents, and in some of the world’s biggest clubbing capitals from LA to Hong Kong, and everywhere in between. In her adopted home of London, she has earned her stripes in the underground scene by playing to some of the most discerning dancefloors at venues such as Fabric, Ministry of Sound, and Turnmills for over a decade.

As a producer, Kelly’s knack for fusing together hybrids of house with more deep, techy and modern electronic sounds is apparent in all of her releases.  She attributes her eclectic sound to years on the dancefloor as both a DJ and as a clubber growing up in the east coast US club scene. Hitting weekly raves and warehouse parties in NYC and Boston exposed her to all styles of dance music - from house to techno, to drum and bass and electro - giving her a experienced ear and breadth of knowledge which she draws upon in the studio.

Through her Blood & Stone Music imprint, she has released 4 EPs, which have gained support from luminaries like Ritchie Hawtin, Luciano and Kerri Chandler. This year, Kelly will continue her production work with forthcoming collaborations and remixes, as well as releases on some notable house and techno labels, while also refining her sound and adding more of her own vocals to her productions.

House music dj.. deep, tech, funky, indie...

"Inspired by the sounds he was hearing in the 90s warehouse parties, Ian began djing with radio shows on WRUV-Burlington (Univ of Vermont radio), and WMEB (Univ of Maine radio). He went on to develop and hone his dj skills and sound at the legendary beach raves and club parties of  Nantucket Island. They were epic, and Ian had a chance to play alongside djs from around the country and world, as well as the truly top-notch local talent.
Ian has held residencies in New York City, Boston, and Nantucket, and has dj'd parties, clubs and bars in New York, Lithuania, Boston, Portland (Maine), Chicago, Los Angeles, Lake Tahoe, Oregon, Montana, and all over New England. Now add to this growing list the two shows Ian played in Tulum, Mexico in November 2011”

[I once caught a speaker on fire. Like flames. Hilarious. Oh yes, and melted some sneakers too--well I guess the stove top they were dancing on actually did the melting. (For real, and very funny at the time, on both accounts.)]
