Release Round Up For 2019

2019 was a creative and productive year at Bricolage...

JANUARY 
Sceadu "Once Upon A Future"

We started the year off with apocalyptic ambient soundscapes and frenetic drum n bass on "Once Upon A Future" from the man in the shadows, Sceadu. You can grab the full EP here.



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

FEBRUARY 
No Arrival "Subvert Yourself"

No Arrival returned to Bricolage and brought more digital disorder with him. "Subvert Yourself" is crammed full of his signature rhythmic work and chaotic electronic hybrids. You can grab the full EP here.



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

MARCH
Loui Cleghorn "Fortysomething"

"Fortysomething" from Loui Cleghorn contained two dark and broody electronica epics. Layers and melodic hooks galore create a hypnotic feel. It came backed with two hand picked, suitably esoteric, remixes from Devras Plexi and Belial Pelegrim. The release garnered support and airplay from DJ duo Kiara Scuro among many others. Grab your copy here.



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

MAY
Fragile X "The Butterfly Effect"

Label head Fragile X produced a network of complex percussion and an array of splintered sound design on his concept EP, "The Butterfly Effect". Born of a fascination with the chaos theory branch of mathematics this release was also the labels first ever cassette release. You can snag one of the last remaining copies here.



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

JUNE
Leit Motif "Bloom"

"Bloom" is a celebration of the summer solstice from Leit Motif. A standalone single that runs at 14 minutes long. It wraps you up in a warm haze of sunshine and melodies. Grab your copy here.



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

JUNE
Dark Fidelity Hi Fi "Gentle Static Flow"

In anticipation of the imminent DFHF album "Found" we delivered a reissue of his sought after "Gentle Static Flow" CD from 2018. Warm, nostalgic and engaging trip hop and glitchy ambient tones.

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

JULY
Dark Fidelity Hi Fi "Found"

After an intense period of hyper creativity Dark Fidelity Hi Fi released the "Found" album in July. A glitch masterpiece full of glistening ambient, IDM, breaks, dub and trip hop that build a textutal labyrinth of sound. Available digitally and on CD format. Few copies remain. Grab yours here.



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

AUGUST
Devras Plexi and Justin Case "Lotus Eaters"

"Lotus Eaters" brought together two producers from different ends of the spectrum and the world. Local Glasgow boy, Justin Case, provided the obtuse electro/IDM/techno with a knack for warped and bugged out structures. This was counteracted by the dynamic and gloopy sound palette of Austin native, Devras Plexi. Both colourful and glitchy. All those ingredients made for an effervescent split EP. You can grab it here.





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

AUGUST
0141 "Glasgow Compilation"

'0141' was our nod to our home city. Glasgow's underground electronic scene is bursting at the seems with all manner of artists and sounds. We managed to bring a posse of them together and deliver a diverse collection of music on this compilation. It ranges from ambient to techno and everything in between. The revenue from this album is being donated to the staff at the ICU in the Golden Jubilee Hospital in Clydebank. There's still time to contribute before we hand over the money. Get your copy here.



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

SEPTEMBER
Ty Lumnus "Decompression"

September saw dusky tonal experiments and and analogue electronics from Ty Lumnus on the "Decompression" EP. Four tracks of spiralling cosmic sounds and sonic decay. Experimental techno from the experienced Glasgow producer. Grab your copy here.



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

NOVEMBER
Belial Pelegrim "Imitation Of Faith"

The electronic wizard that is Belial Pelegrim conjured up a mystical offering of dark matter and and sense altering soundscapes on his "Imitation Of Faith" album. These self described "electro organic" gems are also available on a special limited edition cassette release that comes with a hidden bonus track exclusive from the digital version. You can grab your copy here.



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

DECEMBER 
Yasda "Spektrum"

Our last release of the year sees, Hungarian producer, Yasda take every day sounds and turns them into unique little standalone worlds. Curious compositions full of perplexing rhythms and frayed textures on this beautifully strange collage of found sounds. Grab your copy here.




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

"...this multifaceted and highly textured piece of work deserves to be in the favourites folder." (Electro Review, July 2019)

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.

A true journey into the glitchier side of ambient that's complimented with trip hop vibes and meticulous sampling methods. DFHF has an old school approach to track structures that hark back to the glory days of mid to late 90's IDM. Making for a warm, nostalgic and engaging outcome.

In The Loop : Episode 34 (Summer 2019)

This summer is all set to jam packed with on Bricolage. We've got a busy few months coming up with new material, a reissue, a special one off release and podcasts galore.

First up, one week tomorrow, label boss Fragile X returns with his first standalone Bricolage release in just over two years. His new EP "The Butterfly Effect, a concept release based around the chaos theory, is out on cassette and digital on the 31st May.






"The Butterfly Effect" is only our second ever physical release on Bricolage and our first on cassette. It's safe to say we're excited to share it with you. You can pre-order at our bandcamp.



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

In June, we have a a beautiful hazy summer podcast from Leit Motif to start the month off and that mix will act as a pre-cursor to a very special one off Leit Motif single release later in the month. This unique track is a real melodic treat and kinda top secret but you'll know when it arrives...

Until then, indulge in another Leit Motif slice of melodious ambient.



At the end of the June we have another special release. On the 27th, we have a limited edition CD reissue of the "Gentle Static Flow" album from Manchester's Dark Fidelity Hi Fi. The album is a glitch/ambient masterpiece that was originally self-released in April 2018 and quickly sold out. We've had the disc reprinted and repackaged and good to go for a second run through Bricolage. The new version will be a limited edition release on CD and the accompanying digital version will include 5 bonus tracks. One of which is an unreleased gem.

Pre-order coming soon.





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

July sees the follow up to "Gentle Static Flow" in the shape of a brand new album from Dark Fidelity Hi Fi. The CD is currently in production phase and is all set to drop on the 5th of July. More info to follow soon. The 5th of July is more than just the launch date for the new DFHF album though....the experienced live performer will also be opening up the Subliminal Impulse electronic music festival in Manchester;s Northen Quarter that afternoon. So I guess you could call it an album launch of sorts. Get on down for a special performance if you're in the area.



At the end of July, we present our first ever split EP featuring label stalwarts, Devras Plexi and Justin Case. A meshing together of two of the most idiosyncratic musical minds on our roster. This one is sure to be dripping in cosmic textures and strange rhythms. One not to be missed.





Justin Case will also be providing our July podcast which, if going by last years mix, promises to be another fascinating affair.



July also sees the return of our epic Headroom mix series. We're taking it back to where it all began and have invited the artist formerly known as "International Debris" back for a mammoth mix session. Ross Baker, now working under the name "Enofa" kick started the Headroom series back in late 2015 with his otherworldly "Dream Machine" collection.



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

August sees us celebrate our 4th anniversary as a label and we're marking the occasion with an extravaganza in the form of our '0141' compilation. The extensive album will consist purely of Glaswegian producers. Some of whom you will be familiar with from previous releases plus a host of new and exciting local talent. '0141' is open to any electronic producers in Glasgow. And although due to high submission numbers so far, we can't guarantee artists a spot on the release, we can guarantee that every track will be considered. All the tracks submitted so far have been put aside into a special pool of music and the final tracklisting will be decided and chosen by three Bricolage members at the beginning of August. Submissions are open till the end of July and details can be found here.

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.

Bricolage : Podcast Round Up For 2018

2018 was another eclectic year on the mix front. We've been privileged to both receive and share some outstanding musical journeys from a range of revered selectors and artists.


JANUARY
Loui Cleghorn (NYE Live Set)

We started off the year with an exclusive set from Loui Cleghorn. Recorded live at the Tribal Pulse NYE party in Glasgow, it sees him navigate through a bunch of his own material and take the listener on an absorbing trip.



FEBRUARY
Rain

The music obssessed Russian selector, Rain flirts effortlessly between ambient and DnB when it comes to mixes. He provided us a stunning DnB mix back in 2017 so decided to indulge his quieter side in 2018 and carefully build an ambient cloud to lay our head on. Soothing from first to last.



MARCH
futurendeavours
Vivid and mangled electronica from the enigmatic Glasgow duo. This session showcases some of their favourite influences with a few of their own releases on Bricolage. Also includes an exclusive play of an as-yet-still unreleased epic they cooked up especially for the mix.



APRIL
Leit Motif

We nudged into spring time with Leit Motif and a selection of deep dub techno, entrancing world electronica and crepuscular, gliding, ambient material.



MAY
Dark Fidelity HiFi (Live set for RSD 2018)

This was the chance to immerse yourself in the captivating and hypnotic sounds of the Dark Fidelity HiFi live experience. A short but sweet RSD 2018 live set recorded at 'Reel Around The Fountain' record store in Manchester.



JUNE
Arran Trax

A robust and rugged hour that combines Detroit Techno with surging electro and waves of acid from Arran Trax. Complex and exciting grooves from the Scottish producer.



JULY
Fragile X
Label boss Fragile X went down the effervescent route for this summer mix. Bubbling chimes, atmospheric cuts and warm, colourful soundscapes. One for the long summer nights.



AUGUST
Justin Case

Bricolage newcomer Justin Case brewed up an inventive concoction of sounds that would shine on a light on some of his biggest influences. An hour of twitchy and peculiar, cosmic electronica and celestial house music.



SEPTEMBER
Daniel Katinsky

A guest mix from Glasgow native Daniel Katinsky that drifts between murky and experimental structures and bold sound design. A true headphone journey full of fractured rhythms and dynamic noise.



OCTOBER
Sceadu

Dense and layered electro, techno and dub from the mysterious German. Futuristic ambience helps break up the chaos among the deep bass rumblings. We still believe that this is the only mix of 2018 that you'll be able to hear Dusty Springfield transition into Underground Resistance....



NOVEMBER
R.U.R.

A guest mix full of hard hitting techno with a dystopian twist. Full of heavy characteristics but never reaching the point of extremity. A danceable wall of sound, if you like.



DECEMBER
Amunraja

A sublime guest mix born of shamanism from Amunraja to round out the year. Warm bass, laid back tribal vibes and deep psydub that envelopes the listener. Put this on and let yourself drift into another dimension.



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

It wouldn't be a round up of mixes without mentioning our longform mix series, "Headroom". We only had three sessions this year. But they were three cultivated and stunning musical stories.

JANUARY
Kinoko

We had a special guest session from Hohm Productions resident, Kinoko, who pieced together a beautiful sound montage of ethereal ambient and misty deep house.



MARCH
Supply Fi
This session acted as a precursor of sorts to the tender and organic "...And We Become One With The Earth" EP. His two hour Headroom saw him bring together sounds from his friends and peers in a genre bending journe full of curious and dreamlike electronica.



NOVEMBER
Lying Cat

A grain and lo-fi affair from the Lying Cat. A tenebrous excursion through the slightly more disconcerted side of the music spectrum. It's awash with skewered beats, brittle textures and perfectly placed field recordings. It almost plays out like a film if you let it....



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

A massive thank you goes out to all the people who gave their time to us in 2018. Artists and listeners alike.

John

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.



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

Bricolage : Retcon (Phase Three)

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.

On Monday we revealed the first 5 current artists and on Tuesday we introduced the first 5 newcomers to the label. Tonight, we unveil the next 5 roster members to be featured on the release.

DARK FIDELITY HIFI

Sound engineer and producer extraordinaire, Rick Jones, is a vital cog behind the scenes at Bricolage in terms of promotion, distributing and mastering. But it's his expressions of sound through his Dark Fidelity HiFi project that garner the most recognition. His consistent creations of expansive and intriguing soundscapes know no bounds and he has written a brand new track exclusively for the "Retcon" release. Listen to "Hanasaku" below. 



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

ALL BUTTONS IN

'All Buttons In' is another who has provided us with an exclusive track for the new album. Famed for his dark and deep mechanical creations, the Scottish producer has welded together a unique electronic piece in the form of "The Life and Death of a Neuron". We will be revealing that track soon.

Until then, check out his fantastic track from our "Vol 5" compilation last summer.....



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

MINERVA

"Minerva" is in the habit of making music with a distinctive edge. She's never been one to be afraid of venturing into abstract territories and her new track "Buzzkill" does exactly that. It twists and turns more than anything the Greece based Hungarian producer has ever concocted before. You'll be able to hear that track next week as we start the final build up to the new compilation album. For now though, let "Oligarch" (taken from "Vol 4" in winter 2016) works it's way into your ears...



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

BELIAL PELEGRIM

The ever prolific Belial Pelegrim returns to the fold with an exclusive track for Bricolage in the form of the fantastically titled "Jellied Minotaur On A Bed Of Lettuce". The music is just as interesting as the title and we're excited to unveil the track soon. For now, check out the electronic mayhem of "Exoskeleton" from our previous "Vol 5" compilation.....



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

NO ARRIVAL

We welcome back the hypnotic sounds of "No Arrival" on the anniversary compilation. His new track "Terra Ratio" is another dark and trippy slice of his own unique brand of quietly intense broken beat material. We'll be sharing that with you very soon.

His most recent release on Bricolage was the four track EP "The Chance To Fail". A whirlpool of sonic experimentation and slow burning techno tendencies. 




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

Bricolage Podcast #33 - Dark Fidelity Hi Fi (Live RSD 2018 set)

Our May podcast gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the captivating and hypnotic sounds of Dark Fidelity Hi Fi as we bring you an exclusive recording of his live set from this years Record Store Day festivities at Reel Around The Fountain Records in Manchester.

The full line up for the event involved DJ sets from Bricolage associate "Kinoko" and Bricolage label head "Fragile X" before the headline slot was filled by the machines and keyboards of DFHF.

Richard Jones, the main man behind DFHF, is clearly in his element when he performs in a live setting. It clearly gives him freedom and total control over every single noise that breaks through the system. This short but sweet half hour set sees him roam through his astonishing catalogue of sounds. It's littered with a range of shifting drum work, delicate keys, pad washes, mesmerising glitch patterns, soft and pulsing bass arrangements, attentive breakdowns and perfectly placed samples that are all sewn together with a craftmanship that is a joy to behold as he lets his 'no wave' style flourish. The set features new material from his latest album 'Gentle Static Flow' that was released on the 20th of April. Find a link for that release and the other relevant social media links below.

Stream the mix below or at our Mixcloud,



Watch a short clip of the live set below.
