About Ian Ford

Specialties: Techno, EDM, remixes Current position: Technical Director, Promoter, DJ at XL Nigthclub / The Out Resort. NYC has been good to me, with long-standing residencies at ICON, Splash, Rebel, The Bank, Webster Hall and more. I've been moving into production and have original tracks in the works, and always have time to do a good remix! As a DJ, I specialize in dance music from all genres with a focus on cutting edge dance tracks. I'm always ready for a good flashback party. I keep to the edgier side of things. My NYC experience began at The Bar and The Vault. A few months later I started a four year residency at Webster Hall, playing every room and style at certain points. In March of 1997 I took over the main floor of The Bank, a legendary underground haven for Industrial, EBM, Gothic, New Wave and later Synthpop devotees. In the two plus years at The Bank, the weekly crowds doubled, swelling to near and sometimes over capacity.The Bank was sold, and the party Albion continued until 2006 at Downtime. I sometimes throw my own parties and am fully equipped to do mobile installations. I work with other awesome artists, including: Hex Hector, Frankie Knuckles, Jes, Yinon Yahel, Jellybean, Frenchie, Junior Vasquez, George Clinton & the P-Funk Allstars, Shannon, Apoptygma Berzerk, Tiffany, Boy George, Cyndi Lauper, Expose, Martha Wash, Amber, The Henry Rollins Band, DJ X-Dream, The Cruxshadows, VNV Nation, Wolfsheim, Danzig, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and more. I work regularly with Broadway Bares, a long running charity organization which raises more than a million dollars annually. He played for Amnesty International’s event featuring Patrick Stewart, Bill Clinton’s 1996 Campaign Kick-Off, the Internet Awards, several high- profile fashion shows and Comedy Central Events. Every year I headline the NewYork City Witches Ball, and as resident at Club 2686 (formerly Luxe) my performance was broadcast live on WLIR FM for two years.
