Headroom 16 : Bricolage presents "0141"

Our latest installment in the Headroom series is a special tribute to Glasgow.

Last month we celebrated our 4th anniversary as a label by releasing our '0141' compilation. It's made up entirely of music from local producers.

There's ambient/drone bliss, haunting pianos and soundscapes, experimental sound collages, challenging noise material, dreamy electronica, acid tinged techno, wonky house, cinematic synthwave.

On the latest episode of our extensive Headroom sessions we've mixed together a seamless version of '0141' and to further bulk up the tracklist we've added in a few tunes plucked from some previous releases on Bricolage by Glasgow producers. Everything you hear in this session was made right here in Glasgow.

'0141' has so far raised over £100 for the NHS Golden Jubilee Hospital in Clydebank.

You can donate further by purchasing the compilation from our bandcamp.

Here's to our Dear Green Place.

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.

Bricolage Podcast #47 - Justin Case

Local producer Justin Case is back on podcast duties for Bricolage this month as we prepare to launch his split EP with Austin artist, Devras Plexi. Titled "Lotus Eaters", the collaborative effort will be released on the 2nd of August and contains five tracks apiece from this pair of unparalleled artists. It's a coming together of two of the most colourful artists on our roster and you're in for a psychedelic treat full of bright electronics. Expect previews and snippets soon.

This new mix from Justin Case contains a first listen to one of his own tracks from the upcoming release. "Passaic Formation" opens the podcast proceedings with its drowsy vocals and chaotic scattering backdrop before we head into a musical manifesto that includes all manners of sonic delights ranging from dancefloor weapons, twitchy classics and lo-fi kicks before closing with one of my own personal favourite remixes of all time from Roy Of The Ravers.

Devras Plexi and Justin Case "Lotus Eaters" EP is out 2/8/19

Stay tuned.

Bricolage Podcast #46 - Leit Motif

Thankfully we've got just the right remedy for all your summer needs in the form of a new podcast from Leit Motif. A mellow and warm breeze of a mix that's full of vibrant colours and layer upon layer of radiant melodies. Just the right amount of electronica, house and woozy vocals combined together to make for a dreamy and hazy listen that is sure make your feet tap and your head bop.

Video curated by J.Gorecki

Loui Cleghorn "Fortysomething" (bc042)

We welcome Loui Cleghorn back to Bricolage with his new EP "Fortysomething". This fresh release sees the Glaswegian producer veer into slightly broodier territory as he fuses his, ever present, sense of melody with a faster pace and darker tone than previous releases. The music is still as deeply layered as ever, with hooks galore and a captivating cinematic edge. All these ingredients make for two pulsating and hypnotic progressive electronic gems that come backed up with handpicked remixes from Belial Pelegrim and Devras Plexi. Both of whom turn the respective tracks on their heads with their own inimitable sound treatment. Expect an experimental and bold affair from the former and some downtempo alluring ear candy from the latter.

Bricolage Podcast #36 : Justin Case

Our August podcast comes courtesy of label newcomer and local artist, Justin Case. Fresh off the back of his debut "You Matter!" EP on Bricolage at the end of July, the electronic enthusiast has brewed up an inventive concoction of sounds that shine a light on some of his biggest influences. It's a constantly twitching journey through all kinds of peculiar and cosmic electronica selections that twist and turn through musical avenues containing bright and celestial tracks with bold EQ and tempo shifts throughout. It makes for a truly unique and decidedly interesting listen.

Bricolage Podcast #34 - Arran Trax

For our first podcast of the summer we've snagged a hefty slice of refined electronics from, a man very much in demand at the moment, Arran Trax.

We've got a brand new EP arriving at the end of this month from the Hamburg based producer known predominantly for his massively melodic house and disco excursions but with an undeterred love for all things acid and electro. His upcoming release on Bricolage sees him return to those roots in stunning fashion and we're excited to start unveiling some more of the sounds in the coming weeks.

In anticipation of his new release, Arran Trax, has provided Bricolage with a robust 70 minutes where he wears his influences firmly on his sleeve with a surging set of old school electro vibes, Detroit Techno grooves, acid waves and winding, complex structures weaved together with extensive track layering. A truly captivating set full of deep and cultured sounds that are perfect for the summer evenings that lie ahead.

Bricolage Podcast #29 : Loui Cleghorn (NYE Live Set)

We rumble on into 2018 with a bang as we bring you our first podcast of the year and it's no ordinary podcast either. We're proud to be able to bring you Loui Cleghorns live set from the secret NYE party thrown by Glasgow powerhouse label, Tribal Pulse. Loui decided to break from the norm of a straightforward DJ set and took the opportunity to showcase a chunk of his own material in different ways through hardware, loops and his own stems. It's a bold and brave move that pays major dividends.

As always you can stream the mix below or over at our mixcloud.




Here's what Loui had to say about the ideas behind his live set

"The reason I do these sets is to do stuff I’ve never done before. In this case I wanted to start a set by taking elements of 4 or 5 of my own tunes and creating something new that I could play around with and use to dictate where the set went. There are a few tunes in here i haven’t come up with names for and that would be one of them. Besides that it’s a nice way for people to hear your new ideas without having to release them, or at least before you do.

The only hardware used in this set is a Livid Cntrl:R used to trigger stems, control effects and automate a few extra instruments on Ableton if I fancy jamming something out. I also use a Roland JDXi which can be synced to your main stems and loops on your DAW. I tend not to bother though as latency can be a bitch. Plus I feel it just sounds more authentic (and also way more fun) just to play the thing raw!

I performed this on new years eve over the bells at a party for Tribal Pulse whom I’d like to thank along with Bricolage for the opportunity to do this. You guys are awesome!"

Headroom 11 : Minerva presents "Founding Myths"

After a short break on the Headroom front we're back with a bang and a truly mesmeric and extensive mix session from Minerva. The Greek/Hungarian producer and DJ is in full on club mode as she takes you on a trip through some of the most recent additions to her expansive collection of music. There's an undeniably fresh feeling to the listening session due to the majority of the tracks being released this year. Minerva kicks off proceedings with a beautifully strange vocal piece from an unknown artist before launching into a rich variation of dancefloor ready house rhythms, stylistic melodic consistencies and plush pad swirls that are all laced with progressive tendencies. There's room for a flawless transition into some harder territory in the form of some grittier techno productions, although the overall deep vibe of the sounds on show remain at the core and then we find ourselves navigated back to the familiar hypnotic melodic elements from earlier but this time sandwiched in between them is some skewered rhythms, euphoric chords and lots of vocal cuts before we filter out of the mix on the same unknown acapella from the intro.

Ghost Stories 2017

As Hallows Eve arrives again, this year, we’ve once more asked a few artists from the label to give us a Top 5 of their favourite creepy/eerie Halloween type songs for your blood curdling pleasure.

Arran Trax has provided us with a bunch of trick or treat dancing devils and one or two eerie soundscapes. Belial Pelegrim has given us a selection of some of his most ghoulish creations and collaborations. Whilst, Minerva, has selected her Top 5 skin crawling soundtrack excerpts. Lastly, revered selector Loui Cleghorn digs out his most deviant tracks to play out.

ARRAN TRAX

1. Rude 66 - Paranoia
   
   
   
   "First up is this hair-raising slice of pumping Horror Disco, excellently executed by the Amsterdam based analogue-synth guru Rude 66. This 2014 release on the fine Dutch vinyl label Bordello A Parigi is now highly sought after on discogs. Just wait till those vocoder lyrics come in!!!!"
   
   
   
   

2. Hesperius Draco -  ASI Kingdom
   
   
   
   "This must be one of the best melodic compositions I have heard in the last couple of years. Majestic, melancholic and ever so slightly malevolent, Draco (Italian, Alessandro Parisi) conjures up images of ghostly armies marching through snow-covered Transylvanian forests."

3. Scotch - Disco Band
   
   
   
   
   "What the fuck is going on in this video?' any sane person has to ask themselves.
   So weird it's kinda creepy!!!
   This Italo-Disco classic came out in 1984 on the American Disco label."

4. U - Friendly Ghost
   
   
   
   "I just LOVE the artwork on this slab of heavyweight vinyl. A subtle sense of mystery from the anonymous U."
   

5. Luke Vibert - Halloween
   
   
   
   "Last one is this ghastly acid-trip by the very talented Luke Vibert."

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

BELIAL PELEGRIM

1. Enfield
   
   
   
   "I'm a big skeptic when it comes to the paranormal, but I'm open-minded enough to never rule anything out. I also love a good ghost story. The Enfield Poltergeist is one of those stories that captured my attention because the documentary really left me wondering what the fuck was going on in that house. This song was my attempted to peak other people's interest and tell a bit of the tale in a soundscape format."

2. Dismemberment Goblins
   
   
   
   "One of the sub-groups within the Sleepless Collective is the Darksiders. They were putting together a compilation playlist on Soundcloud of music written expressly for a 'Cabin in the Woods' tribute set that focused on "The Purge", where all the monsters in the glass rooms are unleased into the Facility. All of the tracks are rather amazing. Dismemberment Goblins was my choice and my track."

3. Rosemary
   
   
   
   "One of my good Soundcloud friends and collaborators is the very talented Roots Dubman. He sent me over some strange sounds that inspired me to produce this dark and foreboding, electro-horror track. The name came from Roots informing me that he started putting together his sounds after watching Rosemary's Baby alone in the dark."

4. Funeral March For The Golem
   
   
   
   "This derge-like processional was inspired by books I was reading on animating inanimate objects with consciousness. Let's just say it's not a good idea to try this out at home. Not a deeply dark track, but fitting for this time of year. If you have a chance, check out the remix that BELP made of the track as well."

5. Insular Vampire Hovering
   
   
   
   "I always enjoy collaborating with Berlin's Lutz Thuns on dark ambient projects. He and I worked hard at creating a very creepy setting on this one in particular."

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

MINERVA

1. Ennio Morricone - Eternity (The Thing)
   
   
   
   "Morricone was mainly famous for soundtracking Spaghetti Westerns before he did the OST for 'The Thing' but that all changed after this. Minimalistic, atmospheric and very, very effective. The descending church organ on this particular track creates a deep sense of tension"

2. Lady In The Radiator - In Heaven (Eraserhead)
   
   
   
   "This film contains, like, two pieces of music at most but it works really well within the style and overall feel of the horror that is slowly unfolding.  'In Heaven' was written specifically for the film and it helps carry that feeling of intrigue and inevitability through to your ears as well as your eyes."

3. Krzysztof Komeda - Lullaby (Rosemarys Baby)
   
   
   
   "50 years old this year and it's still terrifying in it's own unique way. Feelings of unease linger all around and Mia Farrow adding vocals brings the creepy levels up."
   

4. Harry Warren - Jeepers Creepers (Jeepers Creepers)
   
   
   
   "This is essentially some jazz from the 1930's but the almost ridiculing nature and delivery, personally, make it very scary for me. It appeared in the film of the same name 70 years later and is heavily featured in many different styles and versions which only add to the eerieness!"

5. Toru Takemitsu - Kwaidan Theme (Kwaidan)
   
   
   
   "I have so much love for Asian horror and I am a bit of a human encyclopedia when it comes to Japanese films and soundtracks in particular. 'Kwaidan' was one of the very first horror film I ever saw and the avant garde theme tune startles me to this day still. So much silence in this one but when the warped use of traditional Japanese folk instruments make themselves known it brings with it a layer of suspense."
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   
   LOUI CLEGHORN
   
   1. Alex Under - Bola 6.1
   
   
   "This song is slow, rumbling evil. Ominous as hell and a beautiful way to start a set. This was released on Soma a few years ago curiously enough. There's a Bola 6.2 and a 7 that are more friendly but they dont come close to this transient gem."
   
   2. Andrea Roma and Mar - Dark Matter
   
   
   "This is one of those tunes that I don't think will ever leave my collection. Andrea Roma bringing ever part of his arrangement into a cacophony of dark harmony. Another old favourite."
   
   3. Loui Cleghorn - Yorick (Boom Merchant remix)
   
   
   "A remix by Boom Merchant of my own tune 'Yorick' that is coming out on my own label 'Unstrung' very soon. One of the more aggressive numbers from the Cleghorn collection given a tribal overhaul. Spooky yet inviting and warmly arresting."
   
   4. Robert Babicz - Cristal Sun
   
   
   "Something I've been playing a lot recently. A twisted acid rave number with shifting, contorting synth lines. One of the best Babicz tunes for a good while."
   
   5. Nick Dow - Goujian
   
   
   
   "I'll let wikipedia do the talking - King Goujian's army was known for scaring its enemies before battle because its front line consisted of criminals sentenced to death who committed suicide by decapitating themselves."
