ZHELEZOBETON distro & label [Russia]

[M.M.]

Greetings people!

I'm new to this board and I'd like to present here the latest updates from my label & mailorder ZHELEZOBETON.

We've just put out a fresh release, which is not really of PE / noise style (that's why I'm not making a post in "new releases" topic), but it definitely fits to avantgarde / ambient field. It's actually a small book with quite unique content - complete illustrated collection of poems by Franz Kafka in German and Russian languages coming with 2 CD compilation of exclusive tracks by I. Belorukov, A. Popovskiy + D. Sorokin + B. Shershenkov, Pustotsvet, N. Sudnick, UtrovortU, Uhushuhu, Chumaho DRU, Bardoseneticcube & Chivadeshe, Eject, Kryptogen Rundfunk, Majdanek Waltz, Monocube, Sal Solaris, Sequoian Aequison, The Tune 3.0. Check it out at our website - http://zhb.radionoise.ru/eng/zhbd-06.html - or on Bandcamp - http://zhbd.bandcamp.com/album/15-poems-by-franz-kafka

The mailorder update features a lot of Russian editions this time. There are new works by such projects as Dom Vdovy, Nubiferous, Kaztalien, CDs and a t-shirt by a long-standing Siberian project Liholesie, a cassette with the archive live recording by Dm. Zubov (Hypnoz) and G. Avrorin on a new label Secretly Chuvashian, a vinyl record by Alexander Selivanov (ex-Mortart), two new cassettes by Lunar Abyss (collab with Kromeshna and split with System Morgue), new hi-end CD-R from Kshatriy with recent live material, CDs from St. Petersburg's minimal improv label Intonema and cassettes from Spina!Rec.

Also worth mentioning are the new CDs from Aquarellist label: the latest album by Rapoon in both standard and collector's editions, and the album by Dale Cooper Quartet & The Dictaphones side-project called Noroeste.

We also got some new discs from the nice Slovak electro-ambient label Aliens Production, some records from the American Helen Scarsdale Agency and a whole collection of rare Russian industrial releases from late 90-ies - early 00-s found by our long-time supplying partner, including early releases by such labels as Ultra, Ufa Muzak, etc. (sorry, but their prices are not for the faint hearted!).

That's it for now!
Thank you for your attention, gentlemen!

Four small but nice editions round up the activity of this year. Fresh ambient wave representatives from St. Petersburg, Archangelsk and Turku (Finland) plus the solo album of a respected classic of St. Petersburg's post-industrial school hailing back from the times of Ultra label. More info on them in this topic - http://www.special-interests.net/forum/index.php?topic=5396

Distro updates feature CDs from one of the most currently active European labels Zoharum (Poland), new split-CD by Russian ambient acts Lunar Abyss and Vanum, latest vinyls from the Estonian martial / folk label Fronte Nordico, some author's (re)issues by Kirill Stoukalin (Organomehanizm, ex- Reductio Ad Absurdum) and paintings by the Siberian artist Vitaliy Maklakov known for his projects Kromeshna, Light Collapse, Obozdur, etc.

With this update once again we start the traditional winter sale. If you order ten or more items marked by the sign [-50%], you buy them for half-price. Some of the items listen in the rare / used list, lightened by green colour, may also be bought with the discount.

The first distro catalogue update in this year features mostly Russian releases:

- Yaroslavl-based vigilantes Ufa Muzak present the new album by T-Wald, dedicated to Hermann Hesse;

- quite young label Sulfur Flowers expands its catalogue of Russian neo-folk-rock music with a couple of new CDs: Nytt Land (Ylande) and Nightwood Movies;

- if you're more into fluid ambient and textural sound art, take a look at the new albums from Dronarivm and Observatoire labels (as well as some international releases from and/OAR, Unfathomless, Elevator Bath and Winds Maasure Recordings);

- small underground labels - Operator Produkzion, YAOP, Heart-Shaped Box Prod., Ostroga, Frozen Light and Down Elcovka Records stay true to themselves with new small (often handmade) avantgarde, old school and noise editions;

- worth mentioning is the new label from St. Petersburg specializing in dark minimal techno / experimental music - La Notte Di Architetto with three cassette releases. This kind of techno we enjoy indeed!

- plus new recordings from such projects as Lunar Abyss, Stuzha, Monocube, Nigdeniya and more!

Just to remind you - we still have this winter sale where you can order 10 or more items from the disto catalogue marked with a [-50%] sign, and have them for half-price. Sale also refers to some items from the rare & used list (marked green). We'll keep the sale running until next update, approximately in early or mid-March.

Spring finally pervades our minds and bodies, vital forces wake up from hibernation and prepare to bloom in full power. Just take a look at a concert list for the coming month - at least a couple of gigs every weekend! One of the most important events for us is the traditional COSMONOISE festival, which is going to happen on the Day of Cosmonautics - April 12th. This time it will feature performances by two Moscow-based projects - CISFINITUM and SAL SOLARIS, - who play in St. Petersburg quite rarely. A company for them is provided by the ever-present psycho navigators GOVORIT RADIO "KOSMOS" and the visual magician VJ Yuri Elik. If you're somehow around, try not to miss!

But this is only in a month. And now we have gathered some amount of new releases from local labels, such as Still*Sleep, Eternal Return Records, Infinite Fog Productions, Spina!Rec, Intonema, new album by Rapoon on :retortae: label, reissue of a classical Muslimgauze album on Aquarellist, new releases by Lunar Abyss + Ogni Videniy, Zinc Room, and a bit of second-hand items.

Label & mailorder update 07.10.2016:

We keep faithfully providing your stereo systems with new portions of drones, noises, strange tunes and atmospheres!

Sixty-fifth ZHELEZOBETON release is the album by the St. Petersburg based project Kryptogen Rundfunk. In fact, this is the project's first big studio work in the past 12 years. The album is based on the live program performed in 2013-2016, and the last live versions of this program will be presented during the Baltic Tour in Latvia, Estonia and Finland on October 10th-15th, where Kryptogen Rundfunk goes with the label mates Neznamo and Uhushuhu.

More info about the album ~ http://www.special-interests.net/forum/index.php?topic=7331.0
More info about the tour ~ http://www.special-interests.net/forum/index.php?topic=7323.0

This time the mailorder update is not so large - due to lack of time, mostly spent on preparation of the new release and organizing the tour. Nevertheless we got some releases from the labels 213 Records (France), Frozen Light (Russia), Cold Spring (UK), Malignant Records (USA), Drone Records (Germany), as well as many other varied CDs.

Baltic Tour starts on Monday and will last for a week, so the mailorder will be closed from October 9th to 16th, but the new update with many more specialities and fresh ZHELEZOBETON podcast is scheduled for the end of October - early November. Stay tuned!
