Ivan Smagghe, Access, Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh, 16 Nov
Chances are we'll be treated to the freshest European underground house and techno mixed by one of the masters of the trade
| 07 Nov 2007
Last year Ivan Smagghe parted ways with Arnaud Reboutini and their live dance act Blackstrobe to concentrate on DJing, presumably not interested in carrying on the band as the dodgy electro-kraut-rock outfit they had become.
This new found freedom has given Smagghe the chance to come back to Scotland and two of his favourite clubs, rocking the Sub Club in August, where he was previously the only DJ trusted to fill in for Twitch at Optimo, and this month at Access. It's hard to know what to expect from the French genre jumper; his most recent mix The Dysfunctional Family with Chloe included everything from alternative rock to industrial techno. So whilst it's always best to expect the unexpected, chances are we'll be treated to the freshest European underground house and techno mixed by one of the masters of the trade. Don't forget The Digital Playboy (fiction.podbean.com), Etos (Access), Monterey Jack (Bloc/Briton) and JD Pyz will be making up the support ranks. [Peter Walker]
