"Parisian DJ extraordinaire Ivan Smagghe has gained respect behind the decks and in the studio as one half of the legendary production duo Black Strobe with Arnaud Rebotini. Over the last few years, Ivan has established himself through his trademark electro/acid/bleep house sets that are ripping up the dance floors everywhere -- so much so that UK's Jockey Slut Magazine has declared him 'The Hottest DJ on the Planet.' Fabric 23, Ivan's newest mix CD, features tracks by I-Robots, Michael Mayer, The Kills, Audion, Aswefall, Booka Shade, Iñaqui Marín, Lopazz, DJ Koze, (T)ékël, Konrad Black, Fabrizio Mammarella, Sergej Auto and Poni Hoax.

Title:	Live At Robert Johnson Vol. 3
Label:	LIVE AT ROBERT JOHNSON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	PLAYRJC 003CD

This is the third volume in a 4-part CD compilation series celebrating the 10th anniversary of Frankfurt's Robert Johnson club. Volume 3 has been selected and mixed by Frenchman Ivan Smagghe. After Chloé's coy and sensible entry, and Prins Thomas' Norwegian diskomiks attack, Smagghe continues his reputation as a DJ with impeccable taste, an impressive record collection, and a sense for avant-garde sounds old and new. He has been part of acts such as Black Strobe, Volga Select, Kill The DJ, It's A Fine Line with Tim Paris and La Horse with Danton Eeprom. As a regular guest DJ at club nights and loft parties across the globe, you won't find any run-of-the-mill tracks here, latest crazes or hyped patterns, but quite a personal slice of Ivan Smagghe and what he likes to do in a club. His former project Black Strobe once described itself as the "dark side of disco, frozen Balearic, gay biker-house, boogie-trance, heavy electronica and soft-goth," which is quite an adept description of the music here. Postmodern rockabilly techno could be another one. You will find a Kruton remix next to the Wighnomy Bros., Swiss Nu-Yoricadiscotheque-music from In Flagranti, Seymour Bits and Röyskopp, all handled with care and mixed with an ear for the right action. Even the very last record of a DJ night is considered in the mix. After a brief pause and a breezy moment, Rheingold's new wave classic "Dreiklangsdimensionen" dulcifies your exit. Other artists include: Gary Beck, Two Banks Of Four, Eddie Zarook & Casio Casino, Entertainment, Holy Fuck, It's A Fine Line, Ryan Davis, Battant, Marc Houle, Loin Brothers, Mock & Toof, and Dark Day.
