A track about boundless sorrow, about the collapse of the world both around and within. About sinking to the very bottom, about the turmoil of emotions. It captures the moment when hope begins to fade — yet you still cling to it, while falling deeper and deeper.

Sorrow

Beneath the blood moon, the throne is no longer empty. She sits upon it—crowned in silence, draped in shadows, her reflection absent in the mirror at her side. The air trembles with organ chords, violins wail like spirits, and the trance coils tighter than fangs in flesh.

No longer a guest, no longer a novice—she is ascended. The Queen of the Damned. Regal. Hypnotic. Irresistible. Her reign begins, and the world will bleed to her rhythm.

Queen of the Damned

Ivan Smoka arrived on planet Earth the same year as the movies Alien and Star Wars, specifically in the city of Madrid. His family of music lovers exposed him to artists like Brian Bennett, Sex Pistols, Talking Heads, Imagination, The Who... and from the age of 3, Iván would play at being a DJ with his brother's vinyl records on a stool (there are photos of this).

He collected music from a young age, and at the tender age of 13, he and his private English teacher would religiously review the NME magazine every month. The explosion of British music in the 90s influenced him greatly, from power pop to electronic and trip hop, and by 17 he had his first DJ mixer. Later, he teamed up with Vasco Ispirian and Álvaro Cabana, and together they began exploring music production. Much has happened since then.

As a DJ and promoter, he has been involved in iconic Madrid clubs like Coppelia 101, Wonky, and Absenta, and has played at venues such as Sónar, FIB, Supperclub (Amsterdam), Café del Mar (Sicily), and Mono (Mexico City).

As a producer, he has unique projects: Gatos Negros, Disco Felino, and Superama 3am, which demonstrate that Iván in the studio is like Mr. Spock on the Enterprise; he understands the technology and communicates with it like a true expert. His work has received support from music gurus like Tim Sweeney and Bill Brewster, and among the artists he has remixed are Cycle, Ekkohouse, Kurt Kjergaard, and recently his partner and friend Thaddeus X, with whom he forms a musical duo.

With a 20-year career as a producer, he has collaborated with Thaddeus X, releasing tracks on major labels such as Mobilee, Akbal, Lucid Flow, and True Deep, among others; and also released music independently, on labels like Blindetonation, Nein Records, Emerald & Doreen, Burning Synths, Kyma Komplex, Mode 33, Rotten City, Dusk & Waves, Envy Music, and the cult label Minuendo.
