In 2001, Ian formed Abiotic Recordings with long-time friend Dustin Zahn. He quickly moved on to release multiple solo records on a plethora of labels such as Drumworks, Compound, Blueline, Hidden Agenda and more. Together with Dustin Zahn he's also formed 1/2 of The Attack People, whose releases span across labels such as Abiotic and Mankind. Many producers these days do not have a distinguishable sound, but this isn't the case for Ian Lehman. His tracks are linear, dark, and heavily textured DJ tools written exclusively for techno's most daring DJs.
