Every once in a while a small label you have no previous experience with comes along and blows you away with a release. More of a rarity however is when said independent imprint continues to blow you away on a regular basis with their following releases.  For me, Varoslav’s excellent Rue De Plaisance imprint is such an example.

Since it was it was incepted in 2011 with the release of  David K’s off kilter jazz infused ‘Somewhere In My Head’ it was clear the Czech born Parisian’s label was one that arrived to stay. A steady stream of left of centre grooves have followed with release "everything from experimental house to funked-up techno," finding its way onto vinyl since the labels inauguration. With a variety of genres on display one constant runs throughout each and every release pressed in the French capital: quality.

Thus when we had the chance to secure an exclusive vinyl only mix from label boss Varoslav himself naturally we jumped at the chance. With a busy summer ahead that sees the label touch down in Barcelona for a special exhibition during Sonar and a new summer residency at Paris institution Rex Club about to begin the future is looking brighter than ever for Varoslav and his rapidly emerging imprint. Now check out this brilliant set packed to the rafters with summery house vibes!

Kaltès at Tresor, Berlin - female:pressure 003 - Sept. 2014

After a visit to Transylvania , we thought to explore a bit, so we went north of Romania , to the wonderful city and electronic vortex that is Cluj , with the resident of Midi club - best known for its insane Funktion One sound system and being in top 25 clubs in the world. 
Mihigh -Mihai Babii by his real name - is a music listener since '00 and he started his residency at Midi in 2007 . His music is self defined as ' dirty old school underground ' , and he shares his passion equally for minimal house and techno , in the deepest way around . 
From Sunwaves after hours on the beach , all Midi events and Sunrise's 9th anniversary , Mihigh shared the booth with Ricardo Villalobos , Arpiar , Sasha , Steve Lawler , Zip , Marco Carola and the list goes on . 
We will be back in January with something fresh for you , until then , enjoy the ride !

GH025 ::: Paul K

Since the middle of 2014 me and my friend Fanta Clauss are running this nice little monthly wednesday party called 'Something Else' at a cosy bar/club called Cräck Bellmer. What started as a test-run for a vinyl-only-night without the typical berlin-standard four-to-the-floor-music, developed to a playground for inviting friends to play B-Sides, outernational music and obsure rarities. Even though this mix can't reflect the whole spectrum of music we're presenting at 'Something Else' it's a nice example for those special wednesdays, which already began to develop some serious impact on my record collection. I hope you will you have some fun listening to this musical journey through counties like Ethopia, Chile, Brazil and Eastern Germany.

011 NE PODCAST - Ix3m b2b Herck

"sorin george rastoaca, aka vid, has been involved with music for quite a while now… some of his earliest releases under a different alias harken back to 2010. in 2012, the launch of his own label, aptly named andromeda, cemented the foundation of a project dedicated to sharing the ornate sounds stemming from the world that vid walks within.

as a producer, vid heavily draws inspiration from nature. the world around him projects an abundance of sound… from the melodic chirping of birds to the effervescent bubbling of rivers, or, the gentle rustling of the wind as it passes through the nearby woods. in these delicate moments, vid finds the right ingredients to coalesce resulting in otherworldly grooves and soundscapes that transport the mind. genre is of no consequence as these pieces of music blur and blend between the minimalistic shades of house and techno (and all things in between). this is music that speaks from the heart as much as it soothes the mind.

as a dj, that same production imaginativeness manifests in the style of sets vid enjoys bringing about. his ear has a penchant for finding the records that have unique off-kilter sounds that easily find a home within his sonic nature walk. the end result? a curated journey that’s meant to challenge expectations, elicit surprise and above all else… spark joy.

we’re so over-the-moon with excitement that we get to present a special 2 hour recording from vid. from his mind to our ears, we get a chance to stroll in companionship within that vibrant environment."

VID - Live on ultrawizardsword.net (01-03-25)

Kicking off 2025 for the 14th mix in our MINIMALISM series we introduce Tur vinyl boss, Poly. She has kindly provided us with 2.5 hours from her set at Signal Festival in Russia last year.

Poly has been on our radar for a while now which we feel is an artist that deeply represents our sound. Based in Saint-Petersburg, Poly is a resident for Moscow based Haze and Mizar, playing regularly at the clubs there. She has shared line ups with artists such as Cezar, Dubtil, Cally and Andrei Ciubuc.

Known for her dark and hypnotic selections, which rolls so smoothly throughout. We’ll let the music do the talking on this one 😊

Moscow Records interview for WetYourSelf's 12:12 at fabrioc London:

Please, tell us a bit about Moscow Records...

Archie Hamiltion: We started Moscow Records in 2009. I think at that time we did it because we wanted to have a 

platform on which to present what we were doing musically. It is very difficult to make a mark in this industry as an 

individual. I think it’s important to have something that people can associate your music with. I did internships at CR2 

and then Defected when I moved to London after university, so I saw the workings of relatively big labels, but I had no 

real hands­on experience. The hardest part initially was to get distributors and shops to work with us, as we were 

completely unknown as artists. I think the hardest part now for me is finding the time to do the work. Along with my 

gigs, making music and trying to have some semblance of a normal social life, it’s not easy!

What are the label’s top releases so far?

I think for me, the best releases have been Kirik’s Stay Body EP, the Better Hide EP by Dan Farserelli and I, 

Moscillation EP by OdD, Lorenzo Chiabotti’s Adnur EP and I am very happy with my new one, Time EP.

Is there a concept behind the label? What are the musical boundaries if any ?

We set out to simply make and release timeless house and techno. Although I think we have a sound, I wouldn’t say 

we have any particular boundaries. I like to always have a strong dancefloor track on every release, as well as more 

ethereal or ‘intelligent’ tracks.

Label artists (who is on the label?)

The regular artists are Lorenzo Chiabotti, Dan Farserelli, Antony Difrancesco, OdD, Ferro

What makes the label different?

Everyone we work with... I like to get to know them first because I like to know what they are about as a person and 

where they are headed artistically. I take quality very seriously, so I am a real stickler for things like mixdowns, which 

can be very annoying for artists, but it’s always worth it in the long­run.

Influences, is there any other labels you are influenced by ?

When we started we were massively influenced by labels like Perlon, Oslo, Cadenza, Barraca, Circus Company, 

Cecille and Vakant...

Vinyl versus digital... what formats are you releasing on and what are your views on vinyl versus digital?

We release on both formats. Personally I think it’s important to have a physical representation of your work, although 

I do not believe in releasing in releasing exclusively on vinyl. There are plenty of people in the world who cannot 

afford, or are unable to purchase records and they have just as much right as anyone to own music. I don’t want to 

open up too much of a can of worms here, but I think people can take the vinyl thing way too seriously...

How long time do you leave between releases?

We don’t have a rigid structure; I don’t like to feel pressured into releasing regularly. When the music is there, and the 

time is right then we will release a record. However, the current lead time (up to 18 weeks!) from delivery to release 

doesn’t make things easy!

What are the visual guidelines in the label? do you work with a specific visual artist or use many different 

ones?

When we started, we wanted to think of a way to draw people’s attention to the records in store who have never 

heard of this label or the artists. It’s a tired old adage, but sex sells! We have a very talented illustrator called Mel 

Burns who draws all of the beautiful ladies that adorn our labels now.
