mödum podcast // 038 - Leancă

After watching her killer opening set at SW31, it was only right to get Ivva involved for the 7th mix on our series. 

Born and raised in Cluj-Napoca, Ivva has been producing and Djing for some time now out in Romania. Her deep, rolling sound with the occasional hypnotic vocals creates a serious vibe on the dance floor. 

Ivva is certainly one to watch with her first EP being released earlier this year on DUB Musik and having supported top artists in the scene already.

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.
