Ian Levine

Ian Levine was resident DJ at Blackpool Mecca, a key club in the development of northern soul. Levine was primarily responsible – along with Colin Curtis for guiding the scene away from its oldies-only policy and towards modern soul and disco. Later, as resident at Heaven and producer of hits for Miquel Brown, Divine and many others, he went on to forge the sound known as hi-NRG. He also produced Take That.
