“If I were to stop being a DJ tomorrow, **** yeah, I would still buy records, of course. Because
I have been buying records since I was twelve. If I stopped buying records, I would die.” - Ivan Smagghe

Black Strobe and Kill the DJ’s Ivan Smagghe makes his first solo appearance in Ireland at Backlash
in Rogue, Thursday the 14th of September. Smagghe made his name during the rise of electrohouse
as a truly original selector, and one half of the massively popular Black Strobe duo.
He rose to the top of the global DJ circuit playing music with attitude and style, evoking the early days
of acid house, and releasing more killer mix CDs in a few years than most DJs manage in a lifetime.
These mixes were recorded for all the biggest labels: Bugged Out, Fabric, Eskimo, and two on Kill the DJ.

Ivan Smagghe has played all over the world, he is widely considered one of the biggest DJs in the
electrohouse/minimal scene. The chance to see him in a small venue with a top soundsystem, like that
of Rogue, is an opportunity not to be missed. Make no mistake, this is the biggest guest Backlash
has ever had and the first name on our lips when we began this party three some years ago.

One of the most coveted support slots this year falls suitably to Backlash resident Romo.
In the past year Romo has made a real impact on the scene, playing support for acts such as Nathan Fake,
Optimo, Padded Cell, and was one of the highlights in the Pogo tent people at this year’s Garden Party.
Check his weekly show on Raidio Na Life where he champions dark and minimal sounds as he has done
since the very start of his Backlash residency, and as such is the perfect choice to support a DJ like
Ivan Smagghe.
