Ian S
“A new kid is in the game… He is gonna take you to a whole other level with his uplifting latin/tech house beats with funky vocals and melodies. Are you ready for Ian S?”
It all started at the age of 14. Ian van der Stap, started listening to house music. He was enjoying the sound and he started listening to different styles of house music at home.
In three years he started to make his own mixes and edits of different tracks with programs like Atomix Virtual DJ and Mixmeister Fusion. He discovered that house music was a passion and his drive was to create his own style of soulfull/deep house in combination with latin/tribal/funky/tech house and some floorkillers. Family and friends enjoyed the mixtapes he made for them, so he decided to save money so he could by his first dj-set.
A year later he got his first booking at a party of one of his firends. Because of all the positive reactions he received, he decided to train his skills at home with his own dj-set. In september 2009 he became a residential dj at Bar Elit in Rotterdam. He was playing there every weekend for nine months long.
The summer of 2010 was an great experience for Ian. His summertour started in july where he was playing in the Cameo Club (Chersonissos, Crete) for a whole month and a few weeks later, August, he played in Club Snoepys (Salou, Spain).
In 2010 he also started with producing. Together with a good friend, Kera, he made his first remix of Swedish House Maffia’s Leave The World Behind. He discovered lots of new features and made lots of tracks. A year later, in february 2011, he released his first track with Maneiro called Casablanca on the Italian label Uno Mas Digital Recordings.
Nowadays he’s producing lots of tracks and he is having good bookings in several big clubs in Rotterdam. You’ll have to follow this young upcoming talent. He is gonna show his ‘magic behind the decks’ in the biggest clubs of Rotterdam, and after that in The Netherlands!
