Ivan The Terrible Bashes Berlin
Ridiculously moody French producer Ivan Smagghe conducted an abrupt email interview with Skrufff this week and revealed he's contemplating relocating from Paris in the not too distant future.
"I might move to London next year, I've considered it loads of times, but not Berlin, there are too many 'creative-hobo-DJs-web designer-party people' types," the Black Strobe producer sneered.
"I like cities where you have to fight a bit, cities with edge. Berlin is so cheap everybody can afford not to have a real job, to slack around a lot and party 'til Tuesday afternoon. I like it as a visitor but, it's not real enough for me."
The unusually grumpy Frenchman also slated the Paris suburb he grew up in ('I never go back there. Ever. It's so dull it's frightening') plus the States ('nothing happens there') though was markedly more circumspect when asked if he's connected with 'Because you're worth it' L'Oreal hair gel model David Guetta.
"I've known David for a long time but, no I am not 'connected' with him," Smagghe sniffed, "Are you trying to trick me into something there?"
Ivan Smagghe's next mix compilation is out shortly via Fabric.
