░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ BLACK STROBE The dark side of disco, frozen-balearic, gay biker ▒█░
░█▒ -house, boogie-trance, heavy-electronica and soft-goth. No, ▒█░
░█▒ these aren't compilations from a record shop on Mars but some of ▒█░
░█▒ the mutant genres Black Strobe have written on the wall of their ▒█░
░█▒ studio, musical monsters they hope to bring to life. "Electronic ▒█░
░█▒ music that is not afraid to scare people," Parisiens Arnaud ▒█░
░█▒ Rebotini and Ivan Smagghe have declared is their intent. They ▒█░
░█▒ have many talents but when it comes to dark disco this deviant ▒█░
░█▒ duo are peerless. Smagghe, a wire-thin, wired DJ and Rebotini, a ▒█░
░█▒ tall 'metal goth' producer can't quite remember exactly where ▒█░
░█▒ they met but both presume it was in the 'Front Row'. This was ▒█░
░█▒ the name of a collective of similarly spirited music fans who ▒█░
░█▒ would spot each other down the front of gigs from the mid- ▒█░
░█▒ eighties onwards. They furthered their friendship when they both ▒█░
░█▒ worked in the 'dance' section of Rough Trade in the mid- ▒█░
░█▒ nineties. It was at the height of the French house boom that ▒█░
░█▒ they formed Black Strobe to make a record for the Sourcelab 3 ▒█░
░█▒ (1996) album. Their contribution was a reaction to the bright ▒█░
░█▒ filtered disco sound the city had become reknowned for. 'Paris ▒█░
░█▒ Acid City' was dance but infused with the spirit of the bands ▒█░
░█▒ they would watch with the Front Row (Cabaret Voltaire, My Bloody ▒█░
░█▒ Valentine, The Swans etc), it's title a sly dig at their cities ▒█░
░█▒ then listless club scene. All the Black Strobe elements were ▒█░
░█▒ there at the time. The name and sound reflected their passion ▒█░
░█▒ for disco-noir and flip-side 'Funk Is Not Always Where You ▒█░
░█▒ Think' was infused with ebm. Initially conceived as a one-off ▒█░
░█▒ release Black Strobe was left dormant for several years as the ▒█░
░█▒ duo busied themselves with other projects. Rebotini was raised ▒█░
░█▒ on funk and disco by his father though he rebelled and formed ▒█░
░█▒ death metal and noise grunge bands. A student in computer ▒█░
░█▒ science, he was soon seduced by technology, bought a 303 and ▒█░
░█▒ began crafting skewed electronica and techno. In 2000 he ▒█░
░█▒ released an album 'Organique' under the moniker Zend Avesta, an ▒█░
░█▒ experimental pop project. A classical buff he also works for the ▒█░
░█▒ GRM, a state institution created by veteran innovators Pierre ▒█░
░█▒ Henry and Pierre Schaeffer devoted to contemporary music. As a ▒█░
░█▒ DJ Rebotini indulges his gothic tendencies at his regular night, ▒█░
░█▒ the aptly named, Sometimes Funky People Are Dressed In Black. ▒█░
░█▒ Smagghe, the son of hippy parents, hated nightclubs as a teen. ▒█░
░█▒ The ardent gig-goer viewed them with suspicion and malice. ▒█░
░█▒ Ironic that he is now one of the cities most acclaimed DJ's, a ▒█░
░█▒ nocturnal animal and resident at the capital's most cutting edge ▒█░
░█▒ club 'Kill The DJ', at Le Pulp. He also hosted 'Test' a cutting ▒█░
░█▒ -edge music show on Radio Nova for years where he interviewed ▒█░
░█▒ the likes of Andrew Weatherall and Coldcut. He has also recently ▒█░
░█▒ compiled 'Kill The DJ' for Tiger Sushi (2003) 'Death Disco' for ▒█░
░█▒ Eskimo and 'Suck My Deck' for Bugged Out (2004) and was Jockey ▒█░
░█▒ Slut magazines DJ of 2003. As they put it, "If more people heard ▒█░
░█▒ Ivan Smagghe play less clubs would close." In 2000 Smagghe and ▒█░
░█▒ Rebotini revived Black Strobe harnessing lightning to its neck ▒█░
░█▒ bolts. 'Innerstrings' was the result which they released on ▒█░
░█▒ their label 'Black in Black'. It was heard by Trevor Jackson who ▒█░
░█▒ promptly signed it to his Output label. It garnered heavyweight ▒█░
░█▒ support from Weatherall, Laurent Garnier and DJ Hell and ▒█░
░█▒ predated the neo-electro scene from which the duo would find a ▒█░
░█▒ like-minded band of friends like James Murphy of The DFA, ▒█░
░█▒ Berlin-based producer Ewan Pearson, Canadian dandy Tiga and ▒█░
░█▒ Belgian siblings Soulwax. In 2002 Black Strobe released a double ▒█░
░█▒ a-side: 'Me and Madonna', which featured Parisien DJ Jennifer on ▒█░
░█▒ vocals and Rebotini lowering his bass to his thigh like Peter ▒█░
░█▒ Hook, and 'Fitting Together', a sinister electro-beast revealing ▒█░
░█▒ their fascination with bleep-house. They have since remixed, for ▒█░
░█▒ the darker dancefloors, Dave Clarke, Royksopp, The Rapture, ▒█░
░█▒ Tiefschwarz and Playgroup amongst others. Their next single, ▒█░
░█▒ 'Chemical Sweet Girl', which Smagghe describes as "raw techno ▒█░
░█▒ rock", features Rebotini on vocals. They are currently working ▒█░
░█▒ on their debut album and have been performing deck/fx sets ▒█░
░█▒ together with notable performances at 2003's Sonar by Night and ▒█░
░█▒ at the Output/DFA party at the Miami Winter Music Conference. ▒█░
░█▒ Smagghe sums their recordings up as "rock'n'roll with synths" ▒█░
░█▒ which is apt as they are also planning an unusual, incendiary ▒█░
░█▒ live show to support its release, which, after spending most of ▒█░
░█▒ their lives looking up from the mosh pit, should be very special ▒█░
░█▒ indeed. It's time for Black Strobe to leave the front row and ▒█░
░█▒ take centre stage. BLACK STROBE DISCOGRAPHY OPR 37 BLACK STROBE ▒█░
