Ian Betts has been capturing the imagination of clubbers around the world for over 7 years, during which time the London based HeatUK resident and Six:Thirty Records boss has developed into one of clubland's most consistent DJ/Producers.
Ian started his DJ career back in 1999 and started to make an immediate impression with gigs at the legendary Freedom @ Bagleys and Sunny Side Up @ Chunnel. Over the subsequent years Ian has played at the biggest and most influential events in the clubbing calendar including Cream @ Amnesia in Ibiza, South West Four on Clapham Common, Dance Valley in Holland and Heat/The Gallery @ Brixton Academy/Turnmills.
Ian's DJ pedigree has not only won him slots performing alongside the world's biggest names including Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Sasha, Carl Cox, Ferry Corsten and Judge Jules, but it has also made him the personally requested warm-up DJ for leading players such as Marco V, John 00 Fleming and Mauro Picotto. He continues to play gigs around the world including dates in South Africa, Australia, Spain, Holland, Israel, Germany and Poland.
Ian's first release, "Koinomia", was licensed to the global-selling Euphoria compilation and paved the way for a host of remixes for artists including Matt Darey, John Askew, John O'Callaghan, Kuffdam & Plant and Marcos. Subsequent tracks such as "State Of Becoming", "Polarise" and "Shimmer" have received widespread support from DJs including Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten and Above & Beyond.
"Ian is without doubt the biggest crowd pleasing DJ in London and worshipped by the HeatUK massive. He continues to establish himself as one of the leading trance DJs, this was no more evident than this past New Year's Eve with his show stealing performance alongside Ferry Corsten at the 5000 strong capacity Brixton Academy." Damian Gelle, promoter of South West Four & Heat UK
