Ivah Sound started as a dj collective in the beginning of 2010, setting the foundation for the future to come.
They soon realized the need for their own sound system and they started to build it themselves in a real foundation way. More members joined the ranks and their parties became better known as did the sound system itself.
With time Ivah Sound became Finland's most forward thinking Sound System giving new life to the Finnish Sound System scene, improving and developing it.
During the years the sounds of the collective have developed from Jamaican foundation style reggae to european dub and bass heavy steppa going into electronic music such as jungle, dubstep and drum & bass.
As one of Finland's most bass heavy sound system they have always emphasized the importance of collaborative work. They have done a lot of different projects with the most prominent reggae and bass music artists and promoters in Finland.
