Soyuz Microphones is a small Russian company that has managed to make the international music industry take notice. Its retro-style microphones can be seen in music videos by artists like Coldplay, Radiohead, and Shawn Mendes.
The company was founded in 2013 near the city of Tula, 200 kilometers south of Moscow. The microphones are all handmade in Soyuz’s facility in the village of Mendeleevsky. The company has a staff of 12 local people along with one of the company’s two founders Pavel Bazdyrev.
Four years ago, Bazdyrev teamed up with Californian musician David Brown, who often toured Russia with his band Brazzaville. The two started an enterprise making top-end musical equipment in Bazdyrev’s home city, which is historically a home to Russian defense industry plants.
“Before the creation of this company I worked for a large western company and I liked it. But I always dreamed about something else, something more interesting. And I wanted to work for myself,” Pavel Bazdyrev told RT.
All the parts for the Soyuz microphones are Russian-made and are bought from Moscow suppliers, according to the entrepreneur. The precision machinery needed to make the microphones come from the Russian city of Izhevsk.
“I personally feel there are huge opportunities in Russia. I think the potential is vast because there are certain skill sets and certain resources available there, that are fantastic,” said David Brown.
Finding investors was the most challenging part of starting a business, according to Bazdyrev. The task was accomplished thanks to Brown, who found investment for the project.
Since 2016 Soyuz microphones have been sold to 17 countries, from Chile to China. According to the firm, the breakthrough occurred when one of its products appeared in a music video by British rock band Coldplay.
The firm sells up to 80 microphones per month with top-of-the-range costing $ 3,500 against the $ 8,000 for competitive models. The company has five models with the cheapest costing $ 600.

Per the induction rules, artists first become eligible 25 years after the release of their first record. So this year, new artists circa 1992 are eligible, and thus Radiohead and Rage Against The Machine are on the ballot. Other first-timers include Eurythmics, Kate Bush, Nina Simone, Judas Priest, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Dire Straits, and The Moody Blues.
The nominees are voted on by more than 900 artists, historians, and members of the music industry, with the top five vote-getters making the cut. (The top five recipients of votes in the Hall’s online poll form one ballot, “which is weighted the same as the rest of the submitted ballots,” and that tells you how much they value the input of the public.)
Nominees that don’t make the top five are thrown back into the lake for possible re-nomination in subsequent years, so the remaining ten this year are previous nominees: Depeche Mode, Bon Jovi, MC5, The Zombies, The Meters, Link Wray, Rufus with Chaka Khan, LL Cool J, J. Geils Band, and The Cars, the poor Cars, who’re now nominated for the fifth damn time. C’mon, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Let’s go! (See what I did there?)
Check out the full list of nominees, and cast your not-very-highly-valued vote, here.

In the age of the hipster, dust-covered and irrelevant mediums like the vinyl and cassette tape have slowly been given a new lease of life. Now, thanks to Radiohead, it looks like popular British computer the ZX Spectrum might be the next 80s relic to come back into fashion. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band’s genre-bending opus– OK Computer –Radiohead has released a £100 commemorative special edition of the album, entitled OKNOTOK.
As well as containing a beautiful looking art book, a collection of Thom Yorke’s notes and the expected limited edition vinyl of the album, the package also comes with a classic C90 cassette. While the vast majority of the 90-minute tape houses a collection of rare demos from the band, the last two minutes treat listeners to a bizarre high-pitched frequency. Quickly identified by Redditors as the grating greeting of the ZX Spectrum, one passionate YouTuber has cleverly EQ’d those digital squawks and squeaks to perfectly match the aging computer’s audio language.
Running those EQ’d files through a ZX Spectrum emulator, the software pops up with the names of all the band members, dating the software back to the 19th December 1996. After the introduction, all that hard work is finally rewarded with some scrolling text and a seemingly random arrangement of bloops and bleeps. It’s a bizarre but very cool little Easter egg, and thanks to YouTuber OooSLAJEREKooO you can save yourself some time and check out a video of the whole thing below.
This isn’t the first time that Radiohead have experimented with unusual mediums. For the release of 2013s King of Limbs, the genre-bending band brought out a companion iOS app called Polyfauna, with singer Thom Yorke even releasing a solo album directly onto BitTorrent. Radiohead isn’t alone in toying with retro ways to release its art, with artist Batch Totem recently cramming his entire album onto a floppy disk.
If the strange arrangement on Radiohead’s Spectrum tape wasn’t enough musical mystery for you, there’s also a suitably silly hidden message concealed in the program’s black-on-black squares. “Congratulations….you’ve found the secret message syd lives hmmmm. We should get out more.” Is what the message reads. Are they referring to the late Pink Floyd guitarist Syd Barret? Who knows.
Given what we’ve just seen though, getting out more sounds like some pretty solid advice guys.

]]>There’s also a new video for the song, which premiered on Rolling Stone‘s website this morning, and which you can watch below. It features the disembodied, Michael-Fassbender-in-Prometheus head of what appears to be a literal paranoid android: the head has been placed in a bus, where it sits watching the world go by, but it’s also haunted by unexplained visions of a strange woman, visions that by the end of the video appear to have left the android distraught and possibly deranged. In other words, it fits both OK Computer‘s themes and aesthetic perfectly.

Nearly 25 years in, Radiohead is still the freshest thing in popular music.
You probably can’t get tickets to a Radiohead show. The legendary band, which now tours almost as rarely as it puts out studio albums (about every 5 years) sells out most U.S. shows within seconds. But if you are fortunate enough to have a ticket drop in your lap — as I did for Radiohead’s recent stop at Portland’s Moda Center — you’ll see a modern performance of pop-rock art that’s still more than worthy of the band’s reputation as one of the most innovative music groups of all time.
Seated in a second-tier private suite — a pricey proposition split among over a dozen friends determined not to miss the opportunity — I witnessed a band still secure in its state of iconic rock-god status. A raucous melange of stunning lights (the spider web of crystal-white beams that began the set is a vision still etched in my brain), mystical musical imagery, and chilling interpretations of their seminal works melded with new reveries, this latest tour once again solidifies Radiohead as the reigning monarchs of cutting-edge sound. Especially evident in their live shows, they are legends in their own time; something like a modern Pink Floyd, but with a punk-rock pulse. And nearly 25 years in, they’re still the freshest thing in popular music.
My introduction to Radiohead came with the release of 1995’s smash-hit album, The Bends. The superb follow up to their simplistic debut, Pablo Honey, The Bends was nothing less than a milestone in the rapidly expanding alt-rock road map, cutting through the noise with a slew of hummable tunes bundled with pretty soundscapes and intriguing videos.
The band’s next release, its so-called breakthrough album, was 1997’s OK Computer. It took all the beauty and relative rock stability of The Bends and mashed it in a blender, melding a cacophony of electronic ribbons with shredding guitar lines and existential lyrics to create an experimental hunk of rock and roll hybrid. The album hits its fever pitch in lead guitarist Jonny Greenwood’s recklessly primal guitar solo that splits the middle of the deceivingly beautiful Paranoid Android — still a staple of Radiohead’s live setlist, and still shocking every time.
Then, without warning, Radiohead hit the reset button.
After three years in and out of the studio, during which frontman Thom Yorke was reportedly suffering from depression and writer’s block, this five-piece, three-guitar rock band released an album all but devoid of the six-string — a deconstruction of their music more fit for the scholastic halls of musicologists than your local radio station.
Culled from dozens of songs, and split into two studio releases (2000’s Kid A, and 2001’s Amnesiac), the work from Radiohead’s Kid A period represents one of the biggest transitional points for any band in rock history. You can think of it in Beatles terms: If OK Computer was Radiohead’s Revolver, then Kid A was their Sgt. Pepper. Only in this version, Sgt. Pepper trades guitar, bass, and drums for a shopping cart of synthesizers and drum machines.
Following the release, two surprising things happened: First, Kid A became a monster hit, reaching number 1 on both the U.K. and U.S. Billboard charts and pulling in an avalanche of new fans, from jazzers and audiophiles, to pop fans and ravers. Second, unlike the Beatles, who retreated to the studio to cultivate their psychedelic sound, Radiohead took virtually every piece of Kid A’s jigsaw puzzle — from the simplest synthesizer line to the most complex sonic effect — on the road for a stadium tour. And it worked beautifully.
For me (alongside many of the world’s most respected rock critics), everything changed with Kid A, and the subsequent tour. My first Radiohead show was their 2001 stop at Washington state’s famed Gorge Amphitheater. As the sun went down and an early moon rose behind it, Radiohead took the stage and changed live music for me, forever.
Their stage show was then (and is still) a transcendent coalition of light and sound, mixing pre-taped recordings, walls of synthesizers, meticulous gear selection, and carnivorous live energy that reconstructs the intricate sparkling facets of their studio sound. Blended with the electrifying live presence of the impish Thom Yorke, the wild Jonny Greenwood, and the rest of them, the band cultivated a rock experience that stands with some of the greatest ever to grace the stage.
And sixteen years later, they’re still doing it.
Since Kid A, Radiohead has released just four studio albums, including 2008’s rock/electronica-hybrid masterpiece, In Rainbows, which the band famously released themselves, and last year’s A Moon Shaped Pool, a somber collection of ethereal musical tapestries (apart from the riotous Burn the Witch) that fits snugly into their sonic collage. Yet, while members have indulged in multiple side projects in recent years (Greenwood has taken up orchestral composing), Radiohead’s stage shows have continued to progress, adding more elaborate visual aids, new methods of sonic delivery, and an ever-spooling thread of connected songs, until each show has become something like one giant composition.
As seen from my center-stage perch above the standing crowd, Radiohead’s latest performance (my fourth) reinforced how innovative they remain, and how fresh they still sound. The show began with the band obscured in shafts of blinding white light, like an electrified Fortress of Solitude, the warbles of the new tune Daydreaming pulling the audience along into the strange sonic cavern. Moving forward, the sound continued to evolve into a sharp and jagged performance — as rock ‘n roll as I’ve ever heard them, including a wild and raw version of Weird Fishes towards the finale that seemed as it were going to burst at the seams.
The massive screen behind them morphed from random projections, from jigsaw shots of the crowd and band members, to mesmerizing light designs fit to scorch your retinas. Soaring through a patchwork of songs carefully pulled from across their catalog, the band seemed to be having more fun than ever. That was emphasized by their decision to add Creep, their first hit and previously abandoned song, as a final encore. That triumphant return followed a brilliant collision of the effervescent chimes of 1997’s No Surprises with the furious strings of 2016’s Burn the Witch, effortlessly blending two decades of pop art into a single burst.
And that’s what they do better than any other band I’ve seen. Unlike performances by many of their electro-rock contemporaries, a Radiohead show isn’t just a living reproduction of their hits or a brilliant marriage of sound and light. That night we were gifted with a new creation, as songs weaved in and out of each other like the great jam bands of old, but with the razor sharp precision of today’s most meticulously choreographed pop acts. The result is a unique experience that connects every small part into a greater whole – almost like a Broadway show, but crafted from a decades long list of nostalgic rock tunes new and old.
By the end, I was left nearly as astonished as I was after that first show so many years ago. The world is a very different place than the one I saw that night in 2001, but I left the stadium assured my musical heroes remain among the greatest live acts in the world. Radiohead is one of the few bands of their stature who still understand how to push things forward, and that’s something many popular artists these days are still struggling to learn.
That’s why, over 20 years on, we need Radiohead now more than ever.
