This Frenchman's name has become synonymous with innovative and intense electronic records, which have earned him the respect of contemporaries like Andy Weatherhall and Tiga. His talent lies in discovering sounds that no-one has heard or dared use before.

Since his earliest days on the Parisian electronic underground - working in record shops, as a music journalist, playing parties - Ivan has shunned the obvious trends and embraced his own ideas, like the projects BlackStrobe and Volga Select.

Long associated with the electro-house sound, there's much more to his DJing. His daily show on Radio Nova allowed him to indulge his wide tastes and sparked his Kill The DJ parties, label and compilations. He can currently be found touring the globe as a DJ and appearing at festivals with Blackstrobe.

Cagedbaby and Santiago also play.
