Artist Bio
Having started Dive shortly after the split of legendary The Klinik, Dirk Ivens has always been an artist open to collaboration – with most early releases written and produced with Ivan Iusco ( Nightmare Lodge / Minus Habens label owner ), and later with Eric Van Wonterghem ( Vomito Negro, Insekt, Monolith, Sonar ). In 1990, Dirk Ivens released a self-titled solo album under the name Dive. It was released on his own label Body Records. The album was very primitive, harsh and experimental, with lyrics about hope, death, love and fear, but hits like 10000 volts. This was the start of many products with an evolving sound. With a minimum on equipment, Dirk creates a maximum of power. His sound is copied by a lot of newcomers in the last couple of years and he proved on many stages that less means more. This Is Dive!
