Various - Smagghe, Ivan - Live At Robert Johnson Volume 3

ivan smagghe ladies and gentlemen, round three of the infamous live at robert johnson series is here. after chloe's coy and sensible entry, prins thomas' norwegian diskomiks attack, robert johnson's ramona is proud to introduce her favourite frenchman to you: ivan smagghe. originally known as ivan rough trade, he cut his teeth at the parisian department of our legendary record store. quickly gaining a reputation with impeccable taste, a sense for avant-garde sounds old and new and a precious record collection. you won't find any of those run-of-the-mills type of tracks here, latest crazes or hyped patterns, but quite a personal slice of ivan smagghe and what helikes to do in a club. his former project black strobe once described itself along the lines of '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. you will find a kruton remix next to the wighnomy brothers, swiss-nu-yorica- discotheque-musique from in flagranti, seymour bits and royskopp, all handled with care and mixed with an ear for the right action. even the tradition of the very last record of the night is considered in the mix. after a brief pause and a breeze moment, rheingold's new wave classic 'dreiklangsdimensionen' dulcifies your exit.
