Ibi started working in recording studios at the tender age of 19. Working at the famous Swan yard studios, Ibi learnt his trade as an assistant engineer working on sessions with such people as Masters at Work, Boy George, Rob Dougan and even Kylie Minogue. It was at these studios that he started working with Faithless. Initially working as an assistant engineer on their first two albums then moving on to help Rollo programming on their hit "Mohammed Ali". It was also in this studio that he met his now long time collaborator Ewen MacNeil (AKA Def E) and formed their production team The Beginerz. The duo hit the heady heights with their first production "Reckless Girl"The prestigious Cheeky records (BMG) picked up Reckless Girl and it was left to the U.K public to place it at a very respectable number 28 in the U.K charts. It also enjoyed similar successes throughout the rest of the world.After remixing the likes of Mousse T, Faithless, Dido, First Choice, Fused, Apollo 440, Bini and Martini, the mighty Mint Royale, and Djing extensively in and around Europe, the duo dropped their next single titled HistoryFirst promoted on their own label Wax Habit, then swiftly signed by fledgling label DTPM, History took over where Reckless Girl left off. Gaining support from all DJ's around the world, the Beginerz had club smash number two.Three new Beginerz singles quickly followed. The first, "Doin' me wrong"(Oxyd Records) placed at No.1 in The DJ Magazine Hype Chart and was licensed throughout the world. The second "Everybody Knows" picked up support from Radio 1's Judge Jules and the third, "New York Taxi" (also placed No.1 in the DJ mag hype chart) was snapped up by ClubSole, an off-shoot of Scottish based Sole Music.As well as their own productions they completed many high profile remixes. These include artists such as Faithless, INXS, Dido, Terri Walker, Phats and Small and most recently the chart topping Shapeshifters.2006 sees forthcoming releases on the Shapeshifter's Nocturnal Groove and their own Wax Habit imprint and their confirmed DJ commitments will see them extensively touring Russia, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, and Poland as well as many UK dates such as the Ministry of Sound.For further information contact
