PW • Ivan Smagghe, Paul Popa at Platforma Wolff

SATURDAY, 6 DECEMBER 𝗣𝗪 --- indoor season IVAN SMAGGHE PAUL POPA End of 2025 highlight right here. Co-founder of Dresden - a party ran by himself and Lituanian legend Manfredas, regular b2b partner of Nicolas Lutz, and a main act at all most-talked-about festivals, from Houghton to Waking Life and Love International, Ivan Smagghe plays PW in premiere on Sat. Dec. 6th. Paul Popa joins as a trusted pairing and the rightest fit for the rest of the night. --- Ivan Smagghe is not like other DJs. An advocate of ‘playing the right record at the wrong time or the wrong record at the right time’ approach to DJing, he is rightly cherished by those who want a bit more from their record choosers. As one of Europe's most wanted radio hosts and selectors, Ivan Smagghe stands at the crossroads between glamorous hype and musical integrity. He is best known for his ability to play music like a raw conduit between famously obscure records whilst never losing sight of the dance floor’s strobe soaked bodies - injecting something of himself seamlessly into the mix along the way. His genre defying production from Black Strobe, It’s A Fine Line, Smagghe & Cross, RVMN or Ivan & Johnny has connected him to the likes of Craig Richards, Vladimir Ivkovic, Paranoid London, Roman Flugel, Manfredas and of course, his long time friend Andrew Weatherall - all fellow crusaders in the fight to prove that electronic music is so much more than a one dimensional soundtrack for a night on the lash, and so much more than an Instagram account.
