It’s great to see that EBM legend Dirk Ivens (Dive, Sonar, Absolute Body Control, Motorik, formerly Klinik) is back in good shape after a seven-month pause due to illness.
He played a DJ set at Suicide Commando’s 40th anniversary at Dark Balloon in Retie, Belgium on April 25. And tomorrow he’s back at it again before A Split-Second’s gig in Beveren, Belgium. Then, he’s starting to perform live with his projects:
02.05 MOTOR!K – Theater Arsenaal – Mechelen (B) + Kotskat + De Dijle
11.05 MOTOR!K – Musicon – Den Haag (NL) + Minama Deutsch + Z95
