Editorial Reviews

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.

This review is from: Suck My Deck: DJ Ivan Smagghe (Audio CD)

I guess what really bothers my is that the Bugged Out! series somehow always leaves you wanting more!!!!!, Ivan (better known as part of the Black Strobe project, the genious behind the amazing track Me And Madonna a supreme electro anthem for new generations. Ivan is a cool cat that knows who to do work some magic behind the decks, he is not satisfy with the usual tracks for the electro oriented, he explores a little bit of techno and somehow this compilation is able to create magic, perhaps the tracks are quite short (around the 5 min each), still the transition is quite smooth, the sounds are hard and makes you wonder how about the rest of the set, where is the other half that did not make the cut, as he says in the sleeve notes "(and especially the ones who gave permission for tracks that were not used in the final mix-there will be a next time)"
he is honest, I mean we want the rest of the tracks, dont we???
Still for a summer breeze of electro-techno, what ever you like to call it, Ivan does a good job, so as the series indeed, I really would like to hear some parts that were not included, I mean how bad can it be?????'
