Pure DJs - Ian Redman (Ultrbeat)
Ian Redman has been on the Dj circuit for over a decade now. Originally hailing from the Hardcore and Bouncy Techno scene back in the mid 90s when he was in his mid teens, but more commonly known of recent as one of the true pioneers of Scouse House. Ian was one of the original members of chart topping dance act 'Ultrabeat' who reached number 2 in the official UK Top 40 back in 2003 with international club hit 'Pretty Green Eyes'.

Back in 1995, aged 13, Ian received his first set of turntables as a gift off his cousin. With it came a huge pile of unwanted Hardcore & Jungle. This is where Ian’s obsession with dance music began. Ian spent all of his time in record shops listening to tracks and practicing his mixing at home, and after years of blagging promoters got his first gig in 1997 at an under 18s in Southport alongside school friend and fellow Dj, Rob Cain.
Ian eventually left school and went on to secure a job in underground record shop 'Plastic Records' which he soon became manager of. In this time he obtained a residency at the legendary Liverpool nightclub 'The Aquarium'. Shortly after, he was poached from 'Plastic Records' to work for '3 Beat' as the new Scouse House buyer.
It was while working at 3 Beat that Ian met Mick Di Scala and Chris Henry and together they formed Ultrabeat in late 2001. Ultrabeat went on to have numerous chart hits including 'pretty green eyes', 'feeling fine' and 'better than life'. Ultrabeat had many television appearances including 2 on 'Top of the Pops'. More recently you can find Ultrabeat smashing the UK album Charts!
Ian left 3 Beat Records in 2004 and set up First Bass Dj Academy, which was a specialist one-to-one Dj tutorial service, which ran until 2007. In this time he was approached by Juice Fm to present a radio show with Ultimate NRG star, Alex K.

Currently you can find Ian headlining 'Bcm Planet Dance' in Magaluff. He is touring worldwide this year with 'The Bcm Reunion', 'Anthem Mania', 'Ultimate Afterparty' & 'The Big Reunion'.
Ian has also been working hard in the studio the past 12 months with some new talent and mainstream artists on new tracks, for the release of the Bcm Summer Anthems Compilation Cd, Due Summertime this year.
In late December of 2009, Ian was short picked buy the legendary VESTAX, and was asked to become one of a small hand picked group of reps and performers. And will be assisting vestax to showcase their new DJ control systems, ensuring the equipment and software stays the leading product in the global music industry
