Ivan Smagghe

French DJ and producer, who was originally known as Ivan RoughTrade due to his work at the Rough Trade record store in Paris. He is recognized for his music style, which is a blend of electro, house and “minimal electro”. Smagghe’s Death Disco compilation played a significant role in the development of the electroclash genre. In 1997, he co-founded Black Strobe with Arnaud Rebotini but departed from the group in 2006. Black Strobe characterizes their music as “frozen balearic gay biker house.” Ivan Smagghe is also a part of the Volga Select project, collaborating with Marc Collin, and has worked with musical friends like Ewan Pearson and Tiga.
