Ian Hayes' (LightsOut) musical tastes were forged at a young age with grunge, punk rock, early electronica and hip hop. He went from electric bass to the decks at the age of 17. He was inspired by the darker electronic sounds of acid techno, hard trance, trip hop, industrial, and especially drum'n'bass. He applies the early love of the dark sounds with attempts to create futuristic atmospheres and "journey" type story telling in the DJ set. Graduating from Appalachian State University for Audio production with a double bass concentration in 2010, he formed a connection with Nu-Soul Magazine and moved from North Carolina to Los Angeles, CA where he became affiliated with Westbay Music, soon followed by Signal Flow Radio. Now residing in Brooklyn, NY, LightsOut is continuing the Signal Flow tradition with a weekly show on twitch.tv/ian_lightsout - Sat 3pE/12nP/8pGMT ( and various other times) #signalflowNYC
