Ivan Smagghe and Andrew Weatherall were asked to select the last 5 tracks they'd play in an "End of the World mix", in light of the ominous premonitions on 21st May. The result is a eerie, sombre and surprisingly 80s mixtape highlighting the pair's eccentric and ever-unexpected track selections.
The French DJ/producer talks about growing up in a vinyl obsessed household, losing 25,000 records in a fire and the importance of listening to every record he's sent.
Ahead of his Room One performance, where he’ll be playing alongside Craig Richards, Redshape and Pierre LX, Ivan has given fabric an electro rave romp for you to download exclusively. Its the first from a series of edits he’s been releasing on his blog A Few Things From Ivan Smagghe.
The pair get stuck into an hour's worth of rugged house and techno with that inevitable indie undercurrent, recorded live at Paris' Social Club back in January and broadcast as Get The Curse's 100th podcast.
