Headroom 14 : Lying Cat presents 'Sad Gizmo'

After a 7 month break our Headroom mix series returns with “Lying Cat” at the helm. The mysterious UK producer is all set to drop a debut EP on Bricolage at the start of next month. It’s a lo-fi, grainy and twitchy affair that’s awash with fractured experimental broken beat pieces linked together with dark ambient tones. This Headroom session follows down that same route with extended brittle soundscapes and enveloping atmospheres. It’s a restless and chaotic roam through the slightly more disconcerting side of electronic music. A tenebrous journey through sound that’s littered with samples, field recordings and all manners of warped and skewered productions. Enjoy the trip.

As always the mix is available below or at our mixcloud.

Bricolage Podcast #38 : Sceadu

Sceadu has appeared briefly from the shadows to take the controls for our October podcast. The mysterious German artist has provided a dense mixture of Detroit Techno, electro and dub techno. Mechanical patterns, space signals, futuristic ambience and deep bass rumblings throughout. The session is mixed as a 50/50 split of vinyl and digital and spans an almost 30 year timeline from the classic early nineties era through to more current releases from the newer breed. There’s a curve ball thrown in for good measure along the way....

You can stream the mix below or at our mixcloud.

Devras Plexi - frequent inspirational chore (Reissue)

In March, this year, we released the spellbinding “frequent inspirational chore” EP from Austin native, Devras Plexi. It’s a stimulating and prismatic trip through an intricate world of lucid glitch and electronica soundscapes.

Six months after the original release we’re proud to present a revamped version of “frequent inspirational chore” that adds another layer to its unique charm.

The new look album features three new additions and is rounded off by a stunning Lo-jacker remix.

In The Loop : Episode 29

This post covers a few recent music press reviews of some of our recent releases.



First off there's two reviews on our massive anniversary compilation from I Heart Noise and Discovery Music, respectively. We extend massive gratitude to both platforms for their time and efforts.

"Honestly there are no filler tracks here which is certainly saying something for a compilation that is 20 tracks deep. This was clearly put together with intense care and attention to detail and it’s success is obvious within every track."
Read the full "I Heart Noise" review of the compilation here.

"Each track is its own unique avenue of electronic music, covering a massive breadth and depth of the unexplored corners of this genre."

Discovery Music also recently reviewed the debut EP from Justin Case, "You Matter!"



"Whatever your take on electronic music, this EP is worth the experience. It will bring you a small oasis of calm to any hectic day and offer a much-needed pause from a racing mind."

Bricolage Podcast # 37 : Daniel Katinsky

Our September podcast sees a special guest mix from Glaswegian producer and sound obsessive, Daniel Katinsky. 

The local whizz has gifted us an hour of compelling music that drifts between murky and unusual ambient textures and bold experimental structures. Fractured rhythms, intriguing sound design and immersive electronics make for a dynamic and engaging listening experience. One for the headphones.

The mix features some exclusive listens to unreleased gems from Fawkes, Parsa, Nancy Drone and Daniel Katinsky himself.
