Bricolage Podcast #13 : First Anniversary Special

Our September podcast is a very special mix. Last month marked the birth of the Bricolage net label and collective. The label was officially launched on the 9th of August 2015 and on the 31st of August we put out our debut release, "bc001". It was a compilation that set the tone and lay down a marker for the broad palette of sounds that we've shared with you over the past 12 months. Its tracklisting is made up of unique artists from all around the world that covered a vast amount of styles in the field of electronic music. Ambient, dub, experimental, glitch, house and techno sounds are all on display. This particular podcast session provides you with that full compilation from start to finish in a continuous gapless mix put together by label head, Fragile X.

It's a dip into the archives of the label and looks back at our beginnings.



You can find all the tracks from the mix on the compilation at our bandcamp or below.

7 Days

So "Bricolage" is now officially a week old. Considering the collective is still very much in it's infancy we've made some very big steps over the last week. The feedback and response has been superb. It makes the research work, messaging and hours spent sitting at the laptop this week worth it.



There's officially 12 artists on board on the music side. Their styles and sounds encompass a very broad range and it's shaping up to be quite the eclectic bunch, which is exactly what we'd planned for. There's quite a few homegrown talents in there alongside some artists from further afield. We'll start introducing you to the artists one by one very soon and the first compilation is penciled in for a release on the 31st of August. We're looking forward to sharing it.

Many Hands Make Light Work

"Bricolage" is a new music, multimedia and art collective based in Glasgow.

It's a non profit collective designed solely for the purpose of promoting artists from all across the spectrum and hopefully providing them with a wider audience. Any artists that join the collective can be assured that we will promote their work regularly through various social media sites including this blog, Facebook, Mixcloud, Soundcloud and Twitter. We will also provide links to your own sites (bandcamp, tumblr etc)



We'll be releasing audio, video and art collages all in digital/online format.

On the music front we'll be looking to put out compilation albums consisting of our members work whilst also releasing specially themed EPs. We'll also be asking artists to contribute to a monthly mix series/podcast that we'll be doing on Mixcloud. The musical output will take in a full range from ambient to techno and everything inbetween. Spoken word contributions are also welcome.

On the visual front we'll be pushing audio/visual works, short films, art collages and music videos.

We're looking to take on board any like minded individuals or groups who can contribute in the way of music, visuals/video or art work.

REMEMBER: this is strictly non profit for either party. There will be no money made or lost. "Bricolage" is purely in place to help promote your art.
