Bricolage welcomes @stevehadfield to the label with a colourful 6 track escapade....

"Bangers and Mash" explores the playful side of late 90's IDM. The title alone gives privy to that. The music itself is a cluster of rapid fire drum patterns and wild grooves paired together with gleeful and mischievous synth lines. This rhythmic concoction comes underlined with gloopy, melting and wonky bass and a dose of fizzling techno undertones that tangle it all together. All these elements give the feeling of some kind of bedlam but instead of straying on the nihilistic end of things they remain firmly fun loving and tongue in cheek. At it's core, "Bangers and Mash" is the producers own digital salute to the halcyon days of the twisted and carefree 90's IDM era.

Releases April 30th on Bricolage

As autumn approaches we return south of the border to reap the fruits of the ever prolific Dark Fidelity Hi Fi.

Fresh from his "Beautiful Fragments" album, back in March, the inimitable producer returns with part two of the story in the form of "Migration Of The Meaning".

An atmospheric lesson in the meeting of electronics and live instrument sampling that does it best to once again defy any category or genre.

This new album flickers between the signature DFHF sounds of whispered melodics, hovering synths and warm analogue dubs whilst flirting with a new cerebral approach that allows the sound palettes to evolve into shimmering tonal landscapes full of minimal but dreamy horizons. Music that will glow in the shadows or the light.

Multi-layered fine details and the focus on small movements to create aural travelogues give us a peek into the cinema of the mind of DFHF during his search for the "meaning". It's meandering and still at the same time in there but more importantly it's glistening and evolving.

"Breaking Ice" is the emotive and ethereal debut release from Manchester based interdisciplinary artist Synda Sova.

Two sides and two stories that consist of a deeply personal collection of found sound and spoken word meshed together with diverse production techniques and haunting, splintered soundscapes. Melody, static and atmospherics coming together to create a dreamlike audio mood board.

This penumbral sonic journey is a testament to its creator in both its vulnerability and bravery. Sound as language in its purest form.

Released on limited edition cassette and digital

Minerva has been a predominant part of Bricolage since the early years, contributing tracks for various compilations whilst also working on collaborations and remixes for the label throughout its history.

Now in 2022, the Hungarian based producer is finally ready to release her first standalone release on Bricolage. "Filótimo" pays homage to her Greek heritage and translates as 'sense of honour'.

This debut EP is comprised of two club ready techno tracks (Írida and Elpída) that have their influences firmly rooted in both the UK and Detroit scenes. A mixture of rolling rhythms, sleek melodic work and hypnotising sound design. The opening track (Meráki) is an intergalactic flavoured experiment that slowly comes to life before exploding into a hammering slab of percussion and acidic mayhem. The closing track (Chalára) is a more stripped back and downtempo ambient affair. A modular escapade full of fluttering notes and reflective synth lines to close out the release.
