What else? Well, if you're feeling like diving deep into the sea of weird sonorities, we're here to help! Here's a 2-hour long mixtape of the most noisy, glitchy and uneasy tracks ever published by ZHELEZOBETON & sub-labels in 2005–2019.

Today we have a very small update – just to inform you about the beginning of our traditional
WINTER SALE! As always, 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.

21.11.2019
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.
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!

Together with the labels Aquarellist and kultFRONT 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. The album is dedicated to the memory of the music journalist and publisher Dmitry Vasilyev and is designed in the aesthetics close to the releases of Dmitry's label Monochrome Vision.
Russian underground scene continues to produce a lot of new music, this time we received the recent releases from such labels as Sidi Doma, BioSonar^Lo-End, ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ, Infinite Fog Productions, COD Music / COD Nozes / COD Noir, NEN Records and [electrotapes archive].
We should also mention the releases of Drone Records / Transgredient Records from Germany, Force Majeure / Nuit et Brouillard from France, and the truly international publishing project Vibora Collective. The lovers of noise and power electronics will probably be curious to check out the big list of new tape arrivals, from budget items to ultra-limited editions and collector boxsets.
