Black Strobe (sometimes Blackstrobe) were formed in Paris in 1997 by producer Arnaud Rebotini and DJ Ivan Smagghe, and were instrumental in the rise of the electroclash movement in the UK with their breakthrough single Me And Madonna. Originally producing in the house genre, they later became more influenced by music from the 1970s and 1980s, especially industrial post punk and camp, European electronic body music (or EBM).

  • Black Strobe (sometimes Blackstrobe) were formed in Paris in 1997 by producer Arnaud Rebotini and DJ Ivan Smagghe, and were instrumental in the rise of the electroclash movement in the UK with their breakthrough single Me And Madonna. Originally producing in the house genre, they later became more influenced by music from the 1970s and 1980s, especially industrial post punk and camp, European electronic body music (or EBM). However, they describe their dark electrosound as "frozen balearic gay biker house". They are heavily influenced by such bands as Cabaret Voltaire, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242 and Depeche Mode. They are much sought after as remixers, and worked with such diverse artists as Röyksopp, Nitzer Ebb, Rammstein, The Rapture, and Tiefschwarz. Ivan Smagghe left in 2006 as Black Strobe expanded to a four-piece live band, with members David "Siskid" Shaw (guitar), Bastien Burger (bass and keyboard) and Benjamin Beaulieu (drums) joining Rebotini on vocals and with Smagghe contributing lyrics. They released their debut album Burn Your Own Church in 2007. "I'm A Man", was included in the film and soundtrack of Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla.
  • Black Strobe est un groupe de musique électronique, créé en 1997. Initialement composé d'Arnaud Rebotini et du DJ français Ivan Smagghe, le groupe s'est peu à peu étoffé avec l'arrivée d'autres musiciens. Leur musique se rapproche de l'electronic body music et de l'electroclash. En 2007, leur premier album Burn Your Own Church sort, suite à quoi Ivan Smagghe quitte le groupe. En 2008, le morceau "I'm a Man", reprise d'I'm a Man de Bo Diddley, est utilisé comme bande-annonce du film de Guy Ritchie, RocknRolla.
