As you know, nothing in our world is absolutely unchangeable: all things and phenomena constantly arise, transform and disappear, no matter how much we would like the opposite. The well-known events in recent Russian history led to many chain reactions, which resulted in a serious reappraisal of our personal values. We made a well-considered and deliberate decision to close the label and distro.So it is the last Zhelezobeton newsletter, at least in the current form. We don't have any new additions to our catalogue, except for the only release from the Danish label TOPOS – a compilation of Russian experimental & noise artists called "Война (Vojna)" (Russian for "war"), expressing their attitude to the current obscurantism. The compilation is available on CD and cassette at a special non-commercial price.
If you wanted to order something from our catalog, but hesitated for some reason, then now is the best time to do it, especially since many items can still be bought at half price as part of the summer sale. Orders will be accepted until August 23rd, after which the mailorder will be shut down.
Thank you for your support during all these years! Your enthusiasm has been the best energy that allowed us to carry on this activity for so long!

Seeds planted a long time ago continue to grow – and here we have a new crop! 200 copies of the new CD "Agdy" by Lunar Abyss Deus Organum, released in cooperation with kultFRONT as a part of the archive series "Znaki / Die Zeichen". Ten tracks recorded in 2003-2013, scattered across compilations and previously unknown, are finally assembled into a single pattern that opens the doors to the space of dreams.
Moreover, BioSonar^Lo-End re-released one of the early works of Lunar Abyss "Arktika", originally published 20 years ago by the cult label Ultra run by the late Alexander Lebedev-Frontov. Aside from that, our distro features new releases from such Russian labels as Ksenza Records, Dronarivm, Nazlo Records, Paper Moon Republic, and the projects t_error 404, Purba, Hum / Maw & some more.
This time, there are not very many new titles from our foreign colleagues: a few cassettes from the Swiss label Rumour Rest releases from the Italian avant-garde label Musique a la Coque, the French industrial conglomerate Force Majeure / Nuit et Brouillard, and another large selection of cassettes from the European and American PE/HN scenes.
As always, some of the materials from today's update are played in ZHELEZOBETON mix #54:

Our humble manufactory is still working and we're pleased to present the new release in Zhelezobeton Distribution Division series, created in cooperation with the German label attenuation circuit. This is the new work of the duo Bu.d.d.A. (Bund des dritten Auges), comprised of Sascha Stadlmeier (EMERGE) and Chris Sigdell (B°TONG). An original look at ambient music played on "normal" instruments!
We continue to explore Russian underground scene, our distro update features new & old releases from the labels Kartaskvazhin, Valgriind / Glasir Series, Nazlo Records, Rokot / Abgvrd, Flip-Flap, Podzemnoe Techenie / YAD, Provoloka, Begushchij Chelovek / TAKOE, electrotapes archive, Winternight Shelter, TOPOT and Pearly Snowdrift.

For those of you familiar with the work of Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (Linija Mass, Veprisuicida, etc.) it may be interesting to know that the Moscow-based bookstore Tsiolkovskiy has published a book devoted to the analysis of his work. It's written in Russian language, but its special value is that it contains more than a hundred of ALF's graphic works collected together for the first time: from sketches to famous full-scale collages and photographs of physical objects. Some pictures are available on our facebook and instagram pages. You can order this book from us, it's €10 + postage.

Looking at the atrocities which our country is making in Ukraine, at the same time slipping into the triumph of narrow-mindedness and self-profanity, it was difficult for us to continue the activity, so this year's second newsletter comes out with some delay. Many services, which we have been using for decades (PayPal, Discogs, Mailchimp, etc.), have stopped working with Russian accounts and it took us some time to fix all this, thanks to the help of our friends. At some point we managed to gather our spirit and find the strength to continue working in the musical field, so today we are pleased to present a new release – the split-tape between Petrograd Drone Gathering and Moscow Noise Manufactory with live recordings made in November 2021.
During this time our distro also managed to replenish with a considerable number of new releases from Russian labels Evil Dead Productions, Nazlo Records, Paper Moon Republic, Zaimka / Besperech', Status Prod., Noyade Records, Psychomor, Global Pattern, Fulldozer, Agfa Archive, Dödens Kultur, Extra Notes and such projects as Jum-Jum, Kshatriy and Cyclofillydea.
Despite the significant reduction in postal exchange, we still received packages from our international partners & friends abroad: E.C.T. (Greece), Unexplained Sounds Group (Italy), Usagi (Sweden), Cold Spring (UK), Zoharum (Poland), Are Mundal (Norway) and raison d'etre (Sweden).
During these uneasy times Russian Post still remains fully operational and sends packages almost worldwide, except for Austraila, Latin America and a few countries in Europe, which decided to cease postal communication with Russia (Denmark, Finland, Poland, Sweden and Ukraine). If you wish to order anything, please send an e-mail to mm@radionoise.ru or zhelezobeton@inbox.ru. All packages are sent registered so they won't get lost. Reservations are possible for a reasonable period.
Traditionally, selected tracks from today's update are featured in ZHELEZOBETON April mix #52:
