***Line-Up***
DEVLINSIDE
In an era of pre-recorded sets and prima donnas who are more in love with the spotlight than they are the music, it’s words like these that solidify Ian’s reputation as a premier house DJ. A rōnin who’s traded swords for turntables, Ian’s been a veteran of the U.K. music scene since 1989. From Spain to Holland, from Hawaii and beyond, Ian’s sought-after skills have landed him gigs in cities around the world. And now as a resident of Victoria, B.C., Ian brings his hard-hitting beats to venues across Canada. One simple rule guides him and the party-goers in attendance: if you come out soaking wet, then you know you had a good night.
Music has always been in Ian’s blood. A classic rock father and a pianist mother ignited the flame that he carries with him today, a pedigree that his daughters now share. For Ian, music isn’t something for your ears to enjoy; it’s a way of life—something that you live and breathe. As Ian states, “I can’t relate to people who say, ‘I used to be a DJ.’”
For more than 20 years, Ian has been revitalizing dance floors. Along with his own label (Keep Warm Recordings) and shows around the world, his decisive passion for the industry shows no sign of slowing down. What keeps him invigorated is that rapport with the crowd. Whether a state-of-the-art venue or a 300-person room, everything hinges on that connection.
“Get them up there and keep them up there. At the end of the day, it’s entertainment and not education; if people aren’t dancing then you’re not doing your job.”

NESS T
DJ Ness T is a spunky, animated DJ, and has been performing in Victoria and beyond for 14+ years. Far from slowing down, she continues to invest more passion into music every day. Music has always been the fuel for her creativity, her best friend and ever present soundtrack to life. Her love of music shows and keeps the crowds growing with every set!
Vanessa knows all genres can set fire to the dance floor when the timing is right. There is no need to limit oneself to just one. Fusing elements from different genres and decades she curates the perfect vibe for each individual space and occasion, with a little something for everyone.
You can catch her DJing restaurants, bars, yoga classes, weddings and special events on Vancouver Island. She is also the resident DJ at The Vicious Poodle.

ACRANYMPH
Based out of Victoria, B.C, Acranymph has been a staple of the electronic music scene on the West Coast since 2017, playing many of the major clubs in Victoria, and Vancouver Island. Acranymph is a Wolastoqiyik artist, hailing from St Mary’s First Nation, beginning his journey in electronic music in Fredericton N.B in 2005, and has been playing clubs and festivals all over Canada ever since.
Acranymph has played alongside artists like Whipped Cream, Pineo and Loeb, AWAL, Abstrakt Sonance, and many more. Bring a blend of fidget, baseline, and electro house, Acranymph always brings high energy beats, while incorporating hip hop and 90s dance music samples with complex loops and effects. The aim of Acranymph’s music is to keep the high energy moving in a consistent way, never giving the Dance floor a moment to breathe. Electronic music is a religion to Acranymph. Acranymph’s First Nation and African roots only add to the musical perspective he brings, with broad and heavy basslines, and melodic and seductive melodies.
Playing under the GrooveRider Collective label in Victoria B.C, Acranymph continues to rock dance floors with GRC events on a monthly basis.
