At the age of 15, when his only hobbies back would be tennis and skateboarding, Ian was presented a Walkman and a tape from friend who said to him - "You need to listen to this, its incredible"... so Ian put the headphones on and it was the first time when he really got lost in sound...
totally amazed and absorbed at the same time by what he just experienced he asked his friend - what is this?…
his friend with smile on his face answer - "Paul Van Dyk Love Parade Mix from Berlin"...
this one magic tape completely changed & turned Ian's life around, he sold his skateboard and bought first Reloop Turntables and while listening the very same tape almost every day and night, he joined a local "Dj School" where he would spent 2-3 afternoons each week since the age of 16...
By 2004, few years past, but passion hasn’t and around 100 vinyls have been bought & collected.
with few parties already under his belt - young Ian, just19 years old, somehow ended up in London.
he still doesn't know how it actually happened, but here he was as a teenager, starting to explore local scenes filled with hope and desire to experience real UK Underground music scene that he would only read about in Mixmag and Tripmag magazines back home in his native Czech republic…
Luckily he met right people and already at age of 20 he would be Djing at same "illegal warehouse squat parties” and having some great time with other like minded souls spinning vinyls until the dawn"...
Ian would spent days and nights Djing and organising parties with Residencies in almost every bar and club in Shoreditch area in East London... this would be between 2004 - 2010…
many frequent trips to Dj in Berlin also influenced Ian’s new directions…
but after many years of Djing he wanted to finally make his own music, as this was alongside playing tunes his biggest passion and his biggest dream..
In 2010 Ian left London for Barcelona with one goal and only - to dedicate as much time as possible to his music production activities..
that is when his love for twisting samples and adding his own melodies between the patterns became his main passion....
his first ever release tune - Move On slightly Trancy track, back in 2010 marked beginning of his new chapter..
Its been now over a decade since Ian released his first beats and melodies with releases on many nice labels including Moodmusic, Dance Artifakts, URSL Berlin, Redlight Berlin, Hedonism, Sleazy Deep, and also on his own 3 labels “Applepie Recordings”, “Deepwave" and latest addition “Lost In Sound” with great support from some of the best Djs from all over the world..
these days Ian remains calm and patient as he keeps on developing his own sound and finishing his debut album that will mark first decade of his own productions…
His music can be sometimes melancholic, sometimes deeper, usually a journey, but after so many years of doing what he loves the most, one thing is clear - that tape of Paul van Dyk back in the days changed his life’s direction forever and for sure Ian will be lost in sound for many more decades to come…
enjoy the journey…
