Roman
London
When asked about his career and early beginnings Romans mentioned, that evolving as a DJ was similar as to how Drum n' Bass in general evolved in Slovakia. Competition is high and he strives to make his breakthrough on the scene, inspired by some of world's finest and driven from harnessed experience of appearances alongside many colleagues from the scene since his 16teens.
He fell in love with turntables the moment he was given the opportunity to give it a shot and with his first live show he gained the attention of those who could take him places. First debouchments were those at local clubs, but Ideon, as he's known nowadays, headed towards Club No. 3, one of the most prestigious clubs at the time, giving newcomers space to showcase their talent. This experience was a good proof to an even better decision.
Motivation rose as he decided to appear on the Beginners event in 2007 held by the Spiral Crew from Slovakia, where he got noticed by its lead, DJ Kubo and joined the crew soon after. Joining forces with Spiral gained him access to events he always wanted to attend.
Over time he got to try out various genres before he settled on DNB. He draws his influences from songs with a deep bass line and aggressive tempo, but there's space for Liquid songs in his repertoire as well.
In 2011 he joined forces with Darktide Recordings, Break9's sub-label lead by iM3.
