Melodiya is starting to press records at its own plant in Novosibirsk due to high demand. The first batch of records, featuring works by David Tukhmanov, the band Zodiac, and the VIA Dos-Mukasan, is already available for sale, Melodiya's press service told TASS.
"Firma Melodiya" is still associated with vinyl records by most of our compatriots. The revival of production under the Melodiya brand is a natural development of musical traditions in our country, which will allow the plant to become a worthy successor to the Soviet Melodiya plants," said the company's CEO, Andrey Krichevsky.
The first record from the new production facility was the "Dos-Mukasan" album by VIA. The records were printed in 2025, using master tapes made from the original master tapes. Maxim Pilipov served as the sound engineer for the restoration and remastering. The plant plans to expand its product line and produce records commissioned by artists and music companies.
As Krichevsky previously reported to TASS, the initial investment amounted to approximately 150 million rubles. This is a full-cycle facility based on the Allegro II production line manufactured in Hong Kong. The main suppliers of the equipment are Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, and China. The company plans to release tracks from its catalog as well as custom-made ones, allowing any customer—artist, songwriter, label, agency, or copyright holder—to release their album. Production volume will be approximately 100,000 records per year.
