Who they are
“His genre defying/defining production from Black Strobe, It’s A Fine Line, Smagghe & Cross and now Ivan & Johnny has connected him to and garnered the praise from the likes of Craig Richards, Vladimir Ivkovic, Paranoid London, 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.”

His genre defying/defining production from Black Strobe, It’s A Fine Line, Smagghe & Cross and now Ivan & Johnny has connected him to and garnered the praise from the likes of Craig Richards, Vladimir Ivkovic, Paranoid London, 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 are working on a new lp for the end of the 2025. Ivan & Johnny is his project with Quinn from Paranoid London, it will cater exclusively to the furthest corners of the dancefloors. After co-running the legendary french label and parties, “Kill 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 new comers (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 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”. “Dresden”, the party/dj duo Ivan shares with Lithuanian legend Manfredas is a celebratory manifestation of Ivan’s ethos and has expanded from London & Vilnius residencies to world touring. Look out for their all-nighters (and their recordings), their t-shirt collabs with Magic Castles and soon, their not-so-functional club music. Ivan also has been transmitting on NTS, London’s Uber-cool London radio.Channeling, his much-loved show with Nathan Gregory Wilkins has kept strange music aficionados on their toes for more than ten years, 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, DC10/IbizaNuits Sonores/Lyon, Love International/Croatia, Waking Life/Crato, Houghton/Norfolk and many other dens of iniquity worldwide.Their RA profile lists fabric Records, Kill The DJ, The Flame Recordings, Live At Robert Johnson and 3 more.Recently at Good Room, Outer Heaven, H0L0 · often with Berghain, 3.
