In The Loop : Episode 33

Our first In The Loop of 2019 is a bumper episode that shares sounds from no more than 10 Bricolage roster and alumni. Without further ado....

MINIMAL_DRONE*GRL

Another breath of fresh air from the Canadian producer as she unveils the airy textures of "Velvet Shadows".



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JAFFA KID

"Echelon" is full of tough techno beats crossed with electro percussion and topped off with a gorgeous ambient background.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DARK FIDELITY HI FI

Another gorgeous ambient and glitch infused story from the esteemed Manchester producer with a sound of all his own.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MINERVA

A peak inside the brain of Minerva. The Hungarian artist has once again got in touch with her more experimental side. Expect acid, dub, techno and all sorts of chaos.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIGURATE

Delicate and downtempo, aquatic laced, IDM sounds.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BELIAL PELEGRIM

Icy cinematic tones and a constant dreamlike progressive nature as "Baked Alaska" evolves and grows.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLUE NOTES

A locked in hip hop style groove with broody funk elements.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YASDA

We'll just leave this here... "Sputnik" is Russian word that means "fellow traveler". The title reflects to the thankful feeling of having a partner next to you who shares similar values, phylosophy and attitude to life. Things that connect you together, and create a foundation of mutual responsibility, its essence, the deepest and holistic view about the quality of everyday life. A person that respects you and has the curiousity and passion to escort you on your way wherever it leads to.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SULEVIA

An undefinable musical gem from deepest Austria. Sulevia is a producer that just seems to get more exciting with every one of her releases.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUNCASTLE

A playful slice of experimental pop-techno soaked in 8bit melodies. Free download.

In The Loop : Episode 32

ITL EP 32 features some new sounds from our alumni and roster.....


EQUAL PARTS

A short but sweet dollop of ambience from the Glaswegian. Subtle bass, clicks n cuts and interesting sound design layers.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCEADU

A four to the floor hybrid that takes on the dubbier side of techno infused with house sensibilities from the man in the shadows, Sceadu. We have the debut EP from the Berlin based producer dropping next month on Bricolage. He's all set to showcase his take on what the future sounds like....



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


MUTE BRANCHES

"War Tundra" has that signature Mute Branches tone flowing throughout its short duration. An assembly of strange and creaking timbres that all fit together perfectly into a vivid experimental soundscape.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SULEVIA

The work of Sulevia stands alone in the electronic field. "Passion" is no different. The Austrian producer has created possibly her finest work yet. Undefinable music that flirts with bass music, trip hop, world music and techno. Peculiar chord progressions, faint voices, drifting pads and gristly beats.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENOFA

Enofa (fka International Debris) has a tremendous back catalogue full of all sorts of engaging material (under many guises) from ambient to vaporwave and everything else in between. Here on new release "Melkur" the UK producer takes a trip through the forest....

Free DL or PWYW on bandcamp.

"Retcon" (bc038)

“Retcon” is our most expansive and adventurous project to date. A mammoth twenty track compilation to celebrate 3 years as a label.

On this release we bring you new sounds from some Bricolage stalwarts and regulars plus creations from a collection of new artists that we’ve welcomed to the roster.

The Bricolage outlook has always remained the same for our VA albums and, just like all our previous compilations, there’s music from all over the electronic spectrum and across the world on “Retcon”. No stone is left unturned. No sound unplayed.

Available for stream and download at the links below or at our bandcamp.





I’d like to take the opportunity to thank all the artists and friends associated with Bricolage for their support and patience in the build up to the “Retcon” release. Due to unforeseen personal reasons, and a very difficult summer, this album almost didn’t happen. The support of the aforementioned people gave me the strength to ensure “Retcon” was given the release I feel it deserved and for that I’m very thankful. The album has proved to be somewhat of a beacon of light for me personally and has proved to be a worthwhile commitment. I hope you feel the same. (John / Fragile X)

Bricolage : Retcon (Phase Two)

On the 31st of August we mark our third anniversary as a label. In those three years we’ve worked with some fantastic artists and released what, we’d like to think is, some unique and special music along the way. 

To celebrate entering into our fourth year we’ve managed to pool together a mammoth 20 track compilation containing a mixture of 10 artists from our current roster and 10 artists that are new to the label. 

Titled “Retcon”, the compilation will be released on Friday the 31st August and as usual will showcase a wide variety of styles from the electronic sphere.

Tonight, we welcome 5 new artists to the label and unveil some more of the sounds to feature on the album.

YASDA


Yasda is the solo project of Andras Nagy, a native of Budapest, Hungary. The project was started in 2015 as a platform to creatively express thoughts and ideas. Influenced by a wide range of genres that reach into Detroit techno, experimental ambient and contemporary electronica, his own tracks build a common ground with field recordings, samples, unique beat-making and self generated plug ins that ensure continuous activity and a bright outlook for the future.

The track "Restless Man Of All Work" will feature on "Retcon". Stay tuned for more info on that soon. For now check out the conceptual "Surreal Haircut" below.

GREVUSANJL


Justin MacKay aka GrevusAnjl is a visual/graphic artist by trade that is relatively new to the music production scene. Although he has been "goofing around" with sculpting soundscapes for around 12 years now, it's only recently that he has focused his energy on properly learning the tools and methods of the trade. He's a huge advocate of the Soundcloud platfrom and has utilised it for inspiration and connections with his peers. "Retcon" provides Justin a more than deserved chance to feature alongside some of those inspirations. He has contributed the fantastic "The Nicest of Vices" to the album. All will be unveiled soon....

Check out the unique "Tearing At The Fabric" below. It featured on our December 2017 compilation courtesy of Belial Pelegrim.

ANONYMOUS3


A Yorkshire based experimental artist....

"I started off playing guitar in various bands and found some success. Once I discovered electronic music I found I concentrated more on using my fx rather than playing the actual guitar. A few years ago I decided to begin a new music venture. A solo project under the name of Anonymous3. I found artists through platforms such as Soundcloud who offered me support advise and ultimately encouragement to continue trying to progress with it. I’m currently working on my latest EP which is going to be titled ‘Paint By Numbers’ hoping to complete it this year."

His track "Nine" is an exploration of sound and mood that nestles somewhere between dark and light. It fits perfectly into what we want to portray on the upcoming compilation.

SULEVIA


Sulevia, an ancient Celtic goddess, is the alias of Sylvia Halla. A Vienna born painter and poet that allows optical structures to flow into her intensive ambient crossover tracks and synesthetic vibrations. Her music is born of contemporary techniques but influenced by the study of ethnology and world instruments alongside a spiritual and meditative nature.

All these elements combined make for special and intriguing music such as "Bamboo" which is all set to feature on the new "Retcon" album.
