After the experience Blackstrobe, Ivan moved to London and completely turned his energies into the DJ solo career, whose ability has been demonstrated in the past through mixing compilations such as the Fabric, Death Disco (Eskimo), Suck my Deck and the epic KILL THE DJ inspired to the evening where Smagghe is resident. The Smagghe Experience leaves something strong to those who have the chance to live it, as he saysin the credits of this compilation: “I strongly believe that a mixed cd never is a transparent image of what one plays in club: In your car or at home, you are not in a club and I haven't got you in front of me. But this is as close as I could get. I am not sure it has a style. Or may be this no style is mine”. ... in fact, Battles, Ricardo Villalobos, Radio Slave, DJ Koze, Andrew Weatherall and his Two Lone Swordsmen are incredibly mixed with the most exclusive minimal-techno in circulation,Detroit pulse and new wave touches for one of the best mix-cd ever published in Italy.

The collaboration between Cocorico’, declared by DJ MAG the most famous Italian club in the World and Mantra Vibes, the Italian label export leader in dance music is strong than ever. Following the success of the first mix volume compiled by Oliver Koletzki, now it’s time for another fantastic selection by a techno heavy weight World champion: Marc Romboy.
German, Dj, producer and boss of the Systematic label (during the last years it has been a real platform for his productions and collaborations with the hypest names in the new techno German scene), Marc Romboy has been without any doubts one of the key figure of the global clubbing scene for the past 10 years. . His style is electronic house with strong deep beats and Chicago House reminiscences linked with an aristocratically melodic search; as Romboy himself writes on the booklet notes, the musical selection is a perfect mix between powerful club tracks and shining contaminations which makes this mix CD perfect for a loud listen at night as for daytime laying on the beach.
Saturday july 14th the launch party of the compilation is at Cocorico' in Riccione, with special guest Marc Romboy.
