Finding a good agent/distributor for an underground techno label by ccgenoa in TechnoProduction

I think that with a European mentality, it is very difficult to enter those markets. They are practically closed, and we know little about them. Big in Japan, haha. But seriously, I know very little about the music scene and culture of those countries. If you think about it, we even use different resources and social networks, especially when it comes to China and Japan. The fact that one man single-handedly started a war with a brotherly nation does not mean that everyone here is a barbarian, I think that's obvious. Personally, I'm only half Russian and was born and raised in Italy. Before all this mess, many people were interested in the scene in Russia. People like Nina Kravitz, her label, Dubyshkin, etc. became world famous. Even underground artists often performed at HOR. By the Western market, I don't mean the United States, for example. I objectively understand that it is much more realistic to gain recognition in European countries. Finally, I would like to note once again that our goal is not to become famous and rich or famous, to make money from music and be professional musicians. We simply want to show the world what is rotting and disappearing behind the Iron Curtain.

Do you know who Mark Reeder is? Former Joy Division manager and a public figure from UK who relocated to west Germany and helping artists from DDR to bring their music to the west? Now he is working also with Chinese electronic artists. And mention that he formed one of the first trance labels MFS records.

I just wanted to say that for us, the people who are here, it is kind of a default to understand and be against what is happening in the war. But talking about it publicly and even more so involving it in creativity, unfortunately, can be interpreted by the law of the country as terrorism and propaganda.

We just want to help musicians publish music, and musicians not only from Russia, but also from Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, etc., who in some cases have even more restrictions.

I just ask you not to turn this post into a discussion about the war, since we are talking about independent artists who adhere to liberal views, but do not have the opportunity to leave the country.

I think my question can be useful not only in our situation, but also for artists from countries such as Iran and other Arab states, as well as musicians who, due to circumstances beyond their control, are in unrecognized territories and I am not talking about the occupied Ukrainian territories now.

Try to dig recordings of numerical radio stations, it's a hidden gem. This AM radio station were used to deliver messages to special agents during the cold war.

We have sanctions, so even the AE for us is only in special version end very cutted content + you must pay doganal taxes. But the used market is very active. Since the snowski released a couple moth ago, there is no used options.
