ANGVIS Music Distribution runs a free, invite-only distribution service for emerging electronic artists, combining upload access with label services and publishing administration.
Founded by Achille Pezzini, the company positions the model as a response to a market where open distribution has made music widely available but artist visibility scarce. ANGVIS says tens of thousands of tracks reach streaming platforms each day, and many distributors compete on speed, price, and open access rather than artist development.
Curation over upload volume
ANGVIS states that every application is read by a real A&R (artists and repertoire) representative, not an automated approval system. The service focuses on emerging electronic acts and keeps its roster small enough that placement is intended to carry meaning.
The company says free access and selectivity are not contradictory because the goal is not to charge at the gate, but to maintain a roster of a few hundred artists rather than a million uploads.
Services behind distribution
Distribution functions as the entry point to a broader set of services. According to ANGVIS, these include:
- A record label that signs electronic releases
- A radio show featuring guest mixes from roster artists
- Publishing administration included with each release
- Access to sync briefs that artists can pitch to directly
- Press kits and artist services when additional support is needed
Pezzini produces and DJs electronic music under the name Aky.
