Ivan Smagghe: Performing Artist in New York

About Ivan Smagghe

Ivan Smagghe is a French DJ and producer whose early identity was shaped behind the counter at Paris’s Rough Trade record shop, where he was once known as Ivan Rough Trade. That grounding in digging, categorizing, and living with records carries into his club work, alongside a studio practice built on edits and recontextualized sources. In New York City he brings that approach to Outer Heaven for “Outer Heaven presents: Ivan Smagghe.” His sets favor selection and structure over spectacle, treating the booth like an extension of the archive.
