Biography massivan Born the son of a violinist 1971 as an italian in Switzerland, Massivan (aka Ivan Pezzini) enjoyed a classical music education, starting to play the violin by the age of six. Not much later, Ivan picked up on the drums… and finally became a student at the American Institute of Music of Vienna in 1993. In 2000, Massivan co-founded the label imprint "Modest Records" and released five singles under the "Josef's Ruhe" moniker. One of them, "Zürihorn", went straight in the dancefloor charts, became a major peak time track on the global club circuit and got massive support from djs like John Digweed, Sasha, Timo Maas and Steve Lawler. After having produced progressive house for 4 years, Massivan felt it was time for change… and so he started to join forces with with Jens Andersson. Their "Calmstreet" project came up with a fine blend of pop and lounge, resulting in an acclaimed longplayer called "Third Wave", released on "Mole Listening Pearls" in September of 2002. During spring of 2003, Massivan moved to the tiny balearic island of Formentera (near Ibiza), where he got himself a dj residency at the infamous globetrotter hotspot Blue Bar, playing sunset gigs there ever since... as well as co-compiling & mastering most of the popular Blue Bar compilations. In may 2005, Massivan released his first solo album "Daylife", which marked a shift in musical direction, more towards jazzy, chilled house fueled by latin-beats. The second solo album "Massenwahn"
