YvesO

YvesO Bridging the gap between sound and visuals, where chaos is order yet unrendered. Ivo Ivanov has a relationship with electronic music since the mid 90s.

He started playing under the moniker YvesO in 2005 at the unforgettable parties in the first independent art space in Sofia – Studio Dauhaus, where he also was co-manager. Since then he became sort of a resident DJ at many art events and spaces in Sofia, like Plastelin, the fridge, the legendary Vlaikova, Sugar and Butchers amongst others. His tastes are eclectic. He's not afraid to switch between

genres and styles surprising even himself with new and different directions. His deep passion for house, techno and twisted electronica doesn't stop him to go from Japanese pop, Finish tango and Afro rock to Arab acid and French chanson in his long and colourful sets. Colourful, because he's also a award winning video artist and specialises in real-time VJ-ing, producing his own unique visuals for the different occasions and various collaborations. In the past 10 years he's played venues and festivals in Munich, Cologne, Bonn, Lisbon, London, Vienna, Bitola, Hamburg, Berlin, Istanbul, Skopje and most major Bulgarian cities. Nowadays he lives in Sofia, Bulgaria, where he's a media art curator and organizes different art events, most notably the Sofia Underground performance art festival and the ON! Media Arts project. No wonder if you've never heard of him. He's one of those guys, who consciously go under the radar most of the time. Even when he plays internationally, he remains strictly underground.

London-based MANDO delivers a uniquely live deconstructed electro set, fusing synthesizers, drum machines, and instruments in real time. Joining him is Sofia's Yves_O (a.k.a. Ivo Ivanov), a seasoned selector known for his genre-blurring, conceptual sets that traverse house, techno, and twisted electronica.

Our Story

Ivo Ivanov is an interdisciplinary artist based in Sofia, Bulgaria.

A shadow figure coming from Sofia's thriving underground scene, he has made a name for himself as an eclectic selector with a deep passion for house, techno and twisted electronica. Under this moniker, he started playing music in 2005 at the legendary parties in the first independent art space in Sofia – Studio Dauhaus, where he was co-manager. His music knowledge and performance experience are obvious whenever he plays. His sets are mostly conceptual and specially made for the event he's playing. He fearlessly blends together a range of tempos, genres, eras and moods with an expert sense of melody and depth.

His interest in understanding artistic thought-flow and processes and his openness had led him to a lot of collaborative projects. In the past 15 years, he appeared at festivals in New York, Oklahoma City, Munich, Cologne, Bonn, Lisbon, London, Izmir, Vienna, Bitola, Hamburg, Berlin, Istanbul, Skopje and most major Bulgarian cities.

The fact that he is an award-winning video artist and active VJ makes his sets stand out even more. From dark and futuristic to lively and cinematic, the visuals he eradiates are mostly self-produced and inspired by contemporary life itself.
