about
Join us at Tuff Club for an electrifying night of dancing with the one and only Ivan Smagghe!
Along with the likes of occasional partner-in-crime Andrew Weatherall, Ivan has the ability to play music like a raw conduit between his famously obscure records and the dancefloor's strobe-soaked bodies, injecting something of himself seamlessly into…
France's most wanted radio host and selector, Ivan Smagghe stands at the crossroads between glamorous Parisian hype and musical integrity.
His genre-defying/defining production work, originally in Black Strobe and now in It’s A Fine Line (who have recently finished Battant's second LP, 'As I Ride with No Horse'), has connected him to and garnered the praise of (amongst others) James Murphy, Trevor
Jackson, Ata, Optimo, and the aforementioned Weatherall. All fellow crusaders in the fight to prove that electronic music can be so much more than a one-dimensional soundtrack for a night on the lash.
The success of his musical blog 'a few things from Ivan Smagghe' has generated a compilation series of edits for Paris uber-fashion store Colette. The first volume sold out in a couple of weeks. His project with Tim Paris, It's A Fine Line, has already put out numerous remixes (from Superpitcher to the XX) and releases that can't be pigeonholed (electro rockabilly on Kompakt to italo rickety disco on Marketing Music). Their new studio is now fully set for original music, remixes, and production. Expect a lot more from them in 2012.
Aside from his A&R role for the now 10-year-old label Kill The DJ (who have released the first EP of RMVN, Ivan’s project with Roman Flugel), Ivan has also started solo work (a noted remix for Parisian label Meant) as well as more planned collaborations with musical friends (Ewan Pearson and Tiga being first on the list).
