Ivan Smagghe belongs to a top table of DJs that journalists like to lazily describe as “The DJ’s DJ”. He has the ability to play music like a raw conduit between famously obscure records whilst never losing sight of the dancefloor’s strobe soaked bodies - injecting something of himself seamlessly into the mix along the way.
His genre defying/defining production from Black Strobe, It’s A Fine Line and now Smagghe & Cross has connected him and garnered the praise from the likes of Craig Richards, Vladimir Ivkovic, Paranoid London, Optimo, Solar and of course, his long time friend Andrew Weatherall - all fellow crusaders in the fight to prove that electronic music is so much more than a one dimensional soundtrack for a night on the lash, and so much more than an Instagram account. In January 2020, Smagghe & Cross released their second LP, 1819, on Offen Music and just released a new LP at the end of 2023.
After co-running the legendary french label and parties, “K*ll The DJ,” Ivan washeading up his own imprint, “Les Disques De La Mort”; an outlet for a unique taste in music and spanning releases & remixes from long staples (Manfredas, Cosmo Vitelli, Marco Passarani, I-Cube, Red Axes, Roman Fluegel) & special newcomers (Elles, Sworn Virgins, Zillas on Acid). LDDLM is a label that is always faithful to an instinctively recognisable “style of no style” and the refusal to be pigeonholed. Covid has reframed the way of making and diffusing music : whilst thinking of reactivating some label action, Ivan has opened Amor Fati with Niv Arzi from Red Axes, a counterintuitive blog page giving away edits to whoever wants them. The collaboration between these two may take form in Customs & Faces, a new outlet and an Axes x Smagghe 12” will be out before the summer on Animals Dancing.
You can catch Ivan subverting the masses any given weekend in clubs & festivals such as Lux/Lisbon, Nitsa/Barcelona, Rex/Paris, In Between/Los Angeles, Corsica Studios/London, Nuits Sonores/Lyon, Love International/Croatia, Houghton/Norfolk and many other dens of iniquity worldwide.
Berlin-based DJ, sound practitioner, and sound engineer Sarah Wreath is dedicated to harnessing the transformative power of music. Focused on exploring frequencies, sound research, and music production, she embraces the alchemical properties of sound to create immersive experiences.
Versatility is key to her style, as she seamlessly navigates a wide range of genres. Taking listeners on a journey through space and texture, her music shifts from grooving, classy techno to psychedelic-leaning sounds and ambient soundscapes, creating an energy that feels both transcendent and grounded, resonating through body and mind. Tribal rhythms, modular synths, and a touch of experimentation define her unique sonic signature. Her LP Integration, released through The Bunker New York, showcases her commitment to immersive rhythms and sonic exploration.
