Suck My Deck: DJ Ivan Smagghe
Following the successes of numerous mix CDs last year, React brings you Suck My Deck, a brand new series highlighting some of the more cutting-edge, up and coming artists who play regularly at Bugged Out! events throughout the UK.We kick off the series with Parisian DJ extraordinaire Ivan Smagghe.  As the resident DJ at Paris’ hippest night Kill the DJ, Ivan 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."This CD includes highlights such as the Black Strobe remix of "Moskow Reise" by The Hacker, Millimetric, and David Carretta, and the exclusive DJ T remix of "After the Tone" by Random Factor taken from his recently released album Convergence, plus the excellent Joakim edit of "Dead Eyes Opened" by Severed Heads.  As the electro-house phenomenon takes hold around the world, Ivan manages to keep one step ahead of the game with his very unique and distinctive sound that’s been encapsulated perfectly on this CD.
