Fragile X and Esef "Static Control" (bc055)

Bricolage are proud to present a new split EP from the heart of Glasgow's underground as Fragile X and Esef offer up four bruising slabs of  bass driven techno and breakbeat. Both producers have dug deep into their respective sonic arsenals and retrieved the heavy artillery for this one. 

Gritty, loose rhythms and gurgling basslines buzz around the opening track from Fragile X before alien bleeps appear and carry the track to it's conclusion. Next up, Esef, brings that trademark percussive punch and weighty bass movements that set the scene for a melodic explosion.

For the remixes, Esef tackles "Damage Control" head on and starts off with a dark and ominous tone that incorporates the original bassline into something that little bit more sinister before flicking the switch and dragging us feet first into an uplifting techno anthem.  To round things off, Fragile X travels into the static with a hiss, before being joined by compact breakbeats,  chopped up hi hats, warped bass samples and furious acid lines.

"Static Control" has been in the pipeline since late summer 2019 and we've been patiently sitting on it waiting to unleash it into the world. We hope you can agree that it's been worth the wait.

You can purchase "Static Control" direct from the link below or at our bandcamp.

Devras Plexi and Justin Case "Lotus Eaters"(bc047)

"Lotus Eaters" is the convergence of two like minded but also contrasting producers. Both bring their own unique musical spice to the party and mix it together for one compatible release.

Austin native Devras Plexi ushers in his signature gloopy ambient melodies and glitchy textures. His colourful sound palette and sinewave experimentation is on full show and is complimented by some sweet ruptured rhythms.

Local boy Justin Case keeps the obtuse theme rolling but provides that late night energy with his hybrid take on techno and house that swarms and engulfs both those styles with elements of breaks and IDM. The track structures come loose and warped. Packed with bugged out beats and razor synths that are twisting and turning at every opportunity.

Each with their own vision. The combination of these on form producers creates an assemblage of polychromatic and effervescent sounds.

Stream and download available below or at bandcamp.

"Lotus Eaters" Exclusive Premieres

Dark Fidelity Hi Fi "Found" (bc046)

"Found" is the brand new album from Manchester mastermind Rick Jones aka Dark Fidelity Hi Fi.

Thirteen glistening tracks recorded over a four month period of hyper creativity with some guests and friends helping to fill in the pieces of the musical puzzle. It's a thorough and enigmatic voyage that incorporates elements of ambient, glitch, dub, trip hop, IDM and breaks into a textural and hypnotic labyrinth.

This is an album that will provide new sounds with every listen.

It's deep, energetic, organic and ultimately enchanting music that comes decorated with luminous melody and floating percussion that sweep along perfectly throughout as the the album sprawls and reveals itself as whole.

"Found" is another string on the bow of a producer who's clearly in his creative prime as he adds this new album to an already insanely impressive body of work.

Available in digital form and Limited Edition CD from our bandcamp or below.

DFHF "Found" Pre-Order

Pre-order of the upcoming Dark Fidelit Hi Fi album "Found" is now available. Order now and get "Substancerunner" and "Jarabi Sky" instantly.

Out this Friday on digital and limited edition CD.

No Arrival "Subvert Yourself" (bc041)

"No Arrival" returns to Bricolage with a new six track EP full of his, now signature, atmospheric rhythmic work and fragmented experimental soundscapes. 

It's a bold and curious affair full of digital disorder. A perfect unison of warm melodic pulses, odd time signatures and and sputtered bass movements that make use of staggered percussion, splintered samples and organic sound design backdrops. 

"Subvert Yourself" is arguably the most accurate representation of this distinctive artists work to date. 

In The Loop : Episode 30

It's been a while since our last episode of ITL, so we're making up for lost time with some new episodes before the end of the year.

The first of which casts an eye and ear on recent sounds from Minimal_Drone*GRL, Dark Fidelity HiFi. The Oscilloscope, Human Age and Arran Trax.

MINIMAL_DRONE*GRL

"Hinterland" is an emotionally charged epic slice of drone/ambient from the Canadian producer. Her signature soothing tunes are on full display as this track drifts along perfectly.



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

DARK FIDELITY HIFI

Stunning glitch landscapes are second nature to Rick Jones. The man behind DFHF has mastered his craft over the years and is consistently creating his own unique sonic worlds. "Summer Ghosts" comes with some beautiful vocals from long time collaborator, Hannah Moore. A song about summers gone by....



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

THE OSCILLOSCOPE

We're a bit late to the party with this one...

"Handmade Ghosts" is a short fifteen minute mix of original material made with Halloween in mind. Dark and eerie acid lines, washes of analogue synth and that familiar rhythm work from the acid aficionado.



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

HUMAN AGE

Ethereal vocals, calming sounds and gentle pads give way to a warm rhythm section full of crisp beats and a deep bass sound on this Human Age remix of RTIK "It's Not You. Chilled late night or early morning vibes depending on your mood.

Hear the original here.



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

ARRAN TRAX

"The Tunnel" straddles the line between light and dark perfectly. A hybrid piece of breakbeat/electronica from the prolific Scottish producer. Tough beats juxtaposed with with airy and warped melodics.



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

Justin Case "You Matter!" (bc037)

Here at Bricolage we pride ourselves on unearthing musical gems in the form of under the radar producers and our latest diamond in the rough is as close to home as you can get....

Today we’re proud to unveil the debut EP from Glaswegian producer, Justin Case.

“You Matter!” is full of unconventional but digestible rhythms straight out of the mid 90’s golden era of IDM and electronic exploration. Crunchy beats and abstract structures battle for supremacy with off kilter bass and refined sound design. There’s elements of glitch, elastic ambient and breaks that bubble away under the surface but the main light that shines throughout all 4 tracks is that of a vibrant musical exuberance that is near impossible not to enjoy, with the closing track ‘Napali’ being a prime example of Justin’s colourful side and knack for stunning melodic hooks.

This is just the start of what is sure to be an exciting musical journey for this promising producer. Be sure to join him at the start of the trip.

Justin Case (Soundcloud)

Bricolage Podcast #35 : Fragile X

July sees Bricolage label head, Fragile X, return to the podcast fold with an effervescent selection of bubbling chimes, atmospheric cuts and mellow soundscapes with elements of ambient, house and downtempo breaks.

The sun is out, the skies are clear and the days are longer. Let yourself bask in this hour of warm and colourful sounds that’ll cocoon you in a deep summer haze.

Stream the mix below or at our Mixcloud.

Arran Trax "Morgenlicht" (bc036)

Our first release of a busy summer at Bricolage sees Arran Trax release his long awaited debut standalone EP on the label, "Morgenlicht".

Four audio slabs of acid/electro hybrids that are loaded with creativity, raw analogue power and an old school grittiness reminiscent of the experimental techno of the early 1990's. Acid bleeps and fuzzy basslines incorporated into intricate mechanical soundscapes that are complimented by meticulous drum work. The influences of the Detroit Techno era shine through on the EP but never threaten to engulf the overall sound and style that Arran Trax has tirelessly shaped for himself.

The concept behind the "Morgenlicht" EP was to 'capture that special atmosphere when you come out of a club and it's just starting to get light'.

We'd say Arran Trax has done that and more with this classy release that's perfect for peak time or that walk back from the club with your headphones on.

The EP comes backed up with the bright and colourful Dreamland Fantasy remix of the title track.

You can stream and purchase the EP below or at our bandcamp.
