Today we have a special reason for the melomaniac joy – the first vinyl release! Yes, we had one record on ZHELEZOBETON before, but that was a 7" lathe-cut on polycarbonate (ZHB-LXIX), and now we have a real factory-printed 12"EP with the reissue of the last year's Vetrophonia "Russian Universal Robots" tape, prepared together with the new Alexander Lebedev-Frontov's label Ultrasomnambula U. The edition is only 100 copies, so we recommend to hurry until it's sold out! ~ http://www.special-interests.net/forum/index.php?topic=9020.0

The mailorder update features new releases from Wrotycz Records (Poland), Wachsender Prozess (Germany), Drone Records (Germany), Volok Records (Ukraine), and some editions of the Russian labels: new CD by Exit In Grey (Frozen Light), double-CD reissue of the classic Muslimgauze album "Vote Hesbollah" (Aquarellist), new tape by Pustota (BioSonar^Lo-End), and a couple of releases from the St. Peterburg's underground label [electrotapes archive].

The July mix assembled from these updates is here:

Our August mailorder updates features over 50 new titles on CDs, vinyl and tapes!

If you enjoy dark-ambient & drone music, you probably should try the CDs of the labels Winter-Light (Netherlands), Purple Soil and Nextera (both from Czech Republic), and if you're into harsher side of things - check out some stuff from Aliens Production (Slovakia), Les Nouvelles Propagandes (France), 4iB Records (Singapore) and the new releases of Galakthorrö (Germany).

Russian scene is presented by new releases of the projects Pustota and Bardoseneticcube and the labels &#8734, Post-Materialization Music and NEN Records.

The new podcast featuring the tracks from these releases is here: https://www.mixcloud.com/Kryptogen/zhelezobeton-mix-19-august-2018/

Autumn is the harvest time and we also have finally a couple of releases ready for picking up! MODELBAU "Ypsilon" – a project of the well-known Dutch musician and journalist Frans de Waard, two long pieces of ultra-minimalistic sonic fields and abstract meditative vibrations. Available on cassettes, discs and digitally.

The release is dedicated to the memory of the untimely departed music journalist and publisher Dmitry Vasilyev (Independent Electronic Music, Monochrome Vision, Alone At Last). Besides, Frans de Waard has also compiled a great tribute to Dmitry on his own label Korm Digitaal. It's free to download on the label's bandcamp page: https://kormdigitaal.bandcamp.com/album/monochrome-visions-for-dmitry-vasilyev.

The second release is THEODOR BASTARD "BossaNova_Trip" – a reissue of one of the early works by Fedor Svolotch, recorded in 2002, long time before the formation of the band's current line-up and musical style. Ascetic electronic minimalism, mathematic poetry and music of digital glitches. A joint edition by Fulldozer Records and ZHELEZOBETON Distribution Division.

This time we got not so many additions to our mailordr catalogue, but there's still something: mysterious 3" CDRs from the Canadian label CEIL, hot Finnish stuff from Umpio & Co., new EP by Majdanek Waltz, an album by Ilia Belorukov, a tape by Mykoriza (Lunar Abyss side-project), some recent releases by the Russian labels Aquarellist / Dark Jazz Records, Pantheon and MIC Label.

Traditional mixtape made from the September's updates is available here: https://www.mixcloud.com/Kryptogen/zhelezobeton-mix-20-september-2018/

It's been a long time since we had new releases – and finally they've materialized!

Firstly, this is the fourth part of the "Znaki" series created with the kultFRONT label, which contains a collection of tracks by Kryptogen Rundfunk from the period of 2003-2006 and wonderful t-shirts based on the cover design made by the maestro Oleg Paschenko: https://zhelezobeton.bandcamp.com/album/elusive-trajectories-2003-2006

Secondly, the long-awaited new studio album by Lunar Abyss Deus Organum "Khara-Khoto", released in two versions: on CDs and cassettes: https://zhelezobeton.bandcamp.com/album/khara-khoto

And thirdly, the recording of the performance by Petrograd Drone Gathering (to which the participants of the aforementioned projects are directly related) at the Electro-Mechanica festival held in November 2018 in St. Petersburg. A small edition in the extremely outdated but still beloved CD-R format: https://zhelezobeton.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-electro-mechanica-2018

And of course, additions to our mailorder catalogue: new releases from Allerseelen, Massimo Magrini (Bad Sector), Spiral Vremeni, Theodor Bastard, plus new releases by BioSonar, Nazlo Records, Intonema, Aural Hypnox, Mapawi Records and much more!

Meanwhile, I'd like to remind about our WINTER SALE -50% which will last only for one more week!

Together with the labels Aquarellist and we're glad to present the CD edition of the album "Monochrome" by Cisfinitum, which was originally released last fall by NEN Records as a tape limited to just 45 copies.

Dear friends!

Meet the August mailorder update! This time it turned out to be quite large – more than a hundred new releases on a variety of media, from ultra-limited obscure underground to well-known projects.

Many new releases arrived from Russian labels: Aquarellist (new CDs by The Rootsman vs Muslimgauze and Mathias Grassow & Closing The Eternity), Post-Materialization Music (from jazz and Philippine soul to early home-taping and ethnographic research), Ksenza Records (new albums by Algol and Alberto Nemo), Podzemnoe Techenie (modern home-taping), a variety of releases from the conglomerate of the Urals labels Ostroga / Heart-Shaped Box Prod. / Torga Amun / Monotype Series / Shift Lines / Asemic Sound Letters, new stuff from YAOP and Operator Produkzion, exotic lathe-cut records and tapes from Nazlo Records and a couple of forestal cassettes from BioSonar^Lo-End.

Quite a lot of new music from the international scene as well! We've got new CDs from such labels as SSSM (Japan), Cold Spring (UK), Reverse Alignment (Sweden), Unexplained Sounds / Eighth Tower Records (Italy), New Approach Records (Portugal), Zoharum and Antenna Non Grata (both from Poland).

Our new release will be familiar to those who follow our label. The collaboration album by Creation VI and Ugasanie "Birds of Naukan", dedicated to the sacred places of Chukotka, has already been released four and a half years ago as a very limited CD-R edition, and quickly found its place on the shelves of collectors. This time we reissue this work in a more serious way: as a factory-pressed CD in six-panel digipak with new design and remastered sound. The reissue is made together with the own label of Creation VI – ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ, and with the new Moscow-based label NEBOSVOD, which promises many more interesting releases in near future. More info here: https://zhelezobeton.bandcamp.com/album/birds-of-naukan

Aside from this our November update features new albums by the Russian projects Kryptogen Rundfunk, Uhushuhu, Lunar Abyss Deus Organum, Reconstruction Of Moss, and labels Paper Moon Republic, Post-Materialization Music, Glass Jelly Souffle, NEN Records, ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ, BioSonar^Lo-End, Aquarellist / Dark Jazz Records, plus recent releases from the international community of labels, including Fang Bomb (UK), Zoharum (PL), Aural Hypnox (FI), Steinklang Industries (LV), Cold Spring (UK), Winter-Light (NL) and more... altogether more than 80 new items + lots of back-in-stock titles!

Hello! This message is just to inform you about the beginning of our traditional WINTER SALE! Just like in previous years, it's very simple: order minimum 10 (or more!) titles from our distro catalogue, marked with the sign [-50%], and you'll get a 50% discount on them. Please keep in mind that many titles we have as single copies, so it's better to include some extra titles just in case.

A part of our second hand list also takes part in the sale, these items are marked by green colour. Send your orders to mm@radionoise.ru or zhelezobeton@inbox.ru. It's possible to make reservations for a reasonable time. The sale will go on until the winter ends.

M.M.

We are pleased to present to you two new editions made with our participation. After a long hibernation our label Muzyka Voln is back in business! Together with the Moscow publishing house Frozen Light, we released a new album of drone-ambient project Exit In Grey and we strongly recommend to plunge into the abyss of its melancholic contemplative harmonies: https://muzykavoln.bandcamp.com/album/control-points

The second release is a joint venture between the Electrotapes Archive and ZHELEZOBETON Distribution Division, a new full-length work by the folk ambient project Mira Drevo, dedicated to many abandoned villages of the Russian North. Authentic field recordings, minimalistic electronics and soulful female vocals will tell you the tales of the impermanence of existence: https://zhbd.bandcamp.com/album/dreams-of-abandoned-villages

Over the past two months, our distro-catalog has been replenished with a considerable number of various editions – the new releases by the Russian labels Nazlo Records, MIC Label, BioSonar^Lo-End, NEN Records, Operator Produkzion, Intonema and projects Lunar Abyss Deus Organum, Myortvye Hippy, etc., as well as the additions from our foreign colleagues from Opa Loka Records (DE), Volok Records / Red Engineering Production (UA), E-Klageto (DE), Cold Spring (UK), Lichterklang (DE) and many more.

If you appreciate the vinyl format, we recommend you to check out the vinyl section of our catalogue: http://zhb.radionoise.ru/eng/distro.html#vinyl – we've just received many interesting 7"s + significantly reduced prices for many records!

Just in case, a reminder about the last month of our WINTER SALE! Until the end of February, you can still place an order for 10 (or more) positions marked with the sign [-50%] and purchase them at half price: http://zhb.radionoise.ru/eng/distro.html

In the meantime, here is the January mix with the fresh stuff from our catalogue:

Despite such a surreal time, or perhaps thanks to it, we continue to persistently explore the sound dungeons in search of interesting artifacts!

This time we're glad to present you the new releases from the Russian labels COD Music, MIC Label and their cassette side-affair Winter Solstice, BioSonar^Lo-End, Aquarellist, Speculum Diaboli, as well as fresh releases from such projects as Chaotic Bound Systems, Radioson vs. Kryptogen Rundfunk and Theodor Bastard.

International communication today is quite slow and we have not so many new titles from the worldwide scene, yet there are some! Those are the latest releases by the Romanian dark ambient label Essentia Mundi, the Dutch Winter-Light and Finnish Parapheral Sound (ex-Some Place Else), as well as a serious collection of assorted industrial/noise releases – just what we need in this hard time!

As usually, you can send your orders by email to mm@radionoise.ru or zhelezobeton@inbox.ru. We can always reserve your order for some acceptable time.

And here's the April mix with the selected tracks from this update:

Seems like it's the first time in our history we have more new items on tapes than on CDs! Since the international postal services have seriously slowed down, most of the update consists of the titles from the Russian underground scene – from the labels COD Music, Operator Produkzion, YAOP, Nazlo Records, NEN Records, Post-Materialization Music, Glass Jelly Souffle, BioSonar^Lo-End, Frozen Light and a couple more. Only a few packages managed to break through to us from abroad – those were from Cold Spring (UK), Industrial Recollections (FI) and Janushoved (DK).

Please note that we're sending international packages only by registered mail with tracking, so even if they are delayed in transit, they won't get lost and will be delivered sooner or later! As usual, you can send your orders by email to mm@radionoise.ru or zhelezobeton@inbox.ru. We can always reserve your order for a reasonable time.

A kaleidoscope of selected tracks from the current update is available on mixcloud:
