Dirk Ivens is a Belgian musician and performer in the industrial music genre.

In 1980 he formed the electronic band Absolute Body Control, influenced by Suicide, DAF, and British artists like Fad Gadget.

After going through various members, Absolute Body Control soon settled as a duo with Ivens and Eric van Wonterghem.

Also in 1996, Dirk started Sonar together with Patrick Stevens, who left in 1998 to be replaced by long-time collaborator (and brother-in-law) Eric van Wonterghem.

In 2003-2005 he rejoined Marc Verhaeghen in The Klinik for a few festival concerts, without releasing any new material.
