Ian Fford

About me:

.... I am a dj who sees music as a fundamental binding force of The Universe. Music cuts across boundaries and is limitless in its ability connect you to higher awareness. My job as a dj is to promote an emotional release for all those on my dance floor. My favorite Icon is Anubis, an Egyptian deity who has unlimited compassion for mankind and possesses the keys to all doors and knowledge. With that resonance I find the commonality across seemingly disparate musical styles and bring a unique energy to my performances.

I study things outside of 'normal reality'. I love iguanas, I can cook fairly well and I enjoy traveling as a dj so I can get a true cultural experience, not the tourist treatment. My inner circle of friends have nothing short of my fiercest loyatly, especially because they put up with me ;) I am most Sundays and Mondays late night at SPLASH BAR,
