A full list of record labels that will be in attendance can be found below.

Tickets are available now through MondoCon.


Mondo & Death Waltz Recording Company 
Death Waltz Recording Company will be debuting the soundtrack for director Jason Lei Howden’s heavy metal zom com DEATHGASM (lower case is for pussies) at MondoCon. The soundtrack is pressed on 180g double vinyl with a very NSFW cover by Sam Turner and features tracks from heavy metal’s finest including Emperor, Axeslasher, Nuslaughter, Beast Wars and many more. The previously announced Monster Squad soundtrack will be available first at MondoCon along with several exclusives yet to be announced!

The Mondo/Death Waltz pop up record store will also have a huge selection of European pressings including international soundtracks and an Italian library section chock full of re-issues. They will also have a very special, super secret re-issue that harks back to the early days of both Mondo & Death Waltz, bringing the labels full circle in 2016.

Le Matos – Live! 
Death Waltz is beyond excited to have Le Matos performing at this year’s event. Attendees can rock out live to their killer mix of Electro, Techno, and 80s dance-floor synth attack. They be playing a selection of tracks from Turbo Kid and their debut LP Join Us. Death Waltz will also have a very special version of Join Us for sale on the evening of the performance, limited to just 300 copies pressed on exclusive splatter vinyl.

Enjoy The Toons / Enjoy The Ride Records
New to MondoCon this year, Enjoy The Ride / Enjoy The Toons has released a few super fun soundtracks including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles / Turtles In Time, Fraggle Rock and Sponge Bob Square Pants – as well as reissuing a few contemporary rock records like Phantom Planet's The Guest.

Lakeshore has been absolutely destroying it this year. Not only with their stellar releases of the Mr. Robot Season One, and Swiss Army Man soundtracks, but just this month, they have released one of the most talked about soundtracks in the last five years: Stranger Things. It is an honor to have Lakeshore come out to MondoCon for the first time.

Lunaris Records
Lunaris makes a return trip MondoCon for another year. Last year Lunaris bought all manner of exclusives, including exclusive test pressing editions of Night Of The Demons.

Once again Light In The Attic will be arriving at MondoCon with a fully stocked shop of soundtrack goodness featuring their great range of distributed labels from around the world.
