It’s fair to say that If there was an Australian Dance Music hall of fame, Ivan Gough would be in it. Whether you’re talking about Dj’ing or producing, Ivan Gough is not only one of Australia’s most accomplished dance music exports, he’s also one of its very first. A true, 100% ‘fair dinkum’ electronic music pioneer, his rare talent in the studio has conjured a career that many artists only dream of, while his notorious skills in the booth have rocked dancefloors across the globe – from Ibiza to New York, and everywhere in between.Over the years Ivan’s records have made it into the playlists of the worlds best DJ’s like old school legends Sasha and Paul Oakenfold, and the more recent class of top DJ’s like Roger Sanchez, Eric Morillo and Axwell. Ivan’s records have also been getting regular plays on Pete Tong’s influential Radio 1 show “the essential selection†in the UK, with one of his TV Rock remixes (with Grant Smillie) getting the coveted “essential new tune†in August 2006. He also has more releases (and remixes) to his name than any other Australian, with dozens of records and cds benefiting from Ivans producing prowess. Not only is he renowned for his enthusiasm, flair and technical prowess in the studio, but on the decks his legendary track selection and brand of main room tunes (often his own!) have seen him tour nationally and internationally on a prolific basis.As TV Rock with Grant Smillie, Ivan has had a string of No.1 dance tracks on the ARIA club chart, but it was their smash hit “Flaunt It†that broke all the records. The duo garnished 2 ARIA’s for the track, selling more than 140,000 copies and going double platinum, as well as holding the record for the longest running Australian track in the ARIA top 10 ever. Look out for more TV Rock madness as Ivan and Grants next single “The Others†(with the Dukes Of Windsor) hits the ground running.2007 sees Ivan’s time still divided between the booth and the studio, and neither he nor his worldwide fans would have it any other way! He’s been hot property for years, and that’s only set to continue! With thanks to Harley Augustine.For DJ and Band Bookings
