This Friday we welcome masterful French selector Ivan Smagghe into The Lab LDN for a special Farr Festival takeover.

Backed by two and a half decades of experience in the game, Ivan Smagghe has earned the unwavering respect of dance music peers and fans across the globe for his trailblazing musical exploits.

His DJ sets are revered for being roving, genre-defying trips across all corners of the music spectrum, packed full of obscurities and underpinned by an edge of exhilarating weirdness. The Kill The DJ label and party he co-founded was started as a reaction against homogeneity within the house and techno club sphere, providing a platform to get loose and explore all manner of sounds.

As a producer he crafts equally unique and emotive tracks, both as Ivan Smagghe and in groups such as Black Strobe and It’s A Fine Line. Across these multiple projects he traverses darkness and lightness with deft skill, combining his far-reaching influences to form rousing records.
