Brings a raw energy. I very much enjoy that!

I'm already hooked on the little details. :)

These tunes remind me so much of the 90s, that classy acidy 303 sound and these hi-hats cimbined with that snare. A bit lo-fi, though, or rather a slight lack of highs.

Ah Yeeeee Boy ! Excellent ce bricolage G.O

"..honestly, there isn’t a blemish on this one. From start to finish, Glasgow is represented at the highest of levels. Bricolage have given us a vibrant and engaging peek into their electronic world..." - Complex Distractions (Sept, 2019)

Read the full review @ https://complexdistractions.blog/2019/09/09/bricolage-celebrate-label-anniversary-with-glasgow-exclusive-compilation/

On August 31st we celebrated completing our fourth year as a label. It's been a fulfilling and creative 48 months. To mark this years anniversary we decided to bring things back closer to home and have our annual compilation exclusively feature Glasgow artists. We wanted the sounds of the city. The sounds of home.

The result is a diverse collection of electronic music from Glasgow's underbelly. We've called on some label stalwarts to provide us with sounds and also opened up our doors to some new faces. It's a fresh outlook at what's bubbling under the surface and away from the nightclubs and concrete jungle.

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

Something for everyone. 

We're massively proud of this release and think it paints a beautifully distinct musical picture of the place we call home. It's our own homage to our "Dear Green Place".

All revenue generated from the 0141 compilation will be donated to the ICU nursing staff at the Golden Jubilee Hospital as a token of gratitude for the quality of attention and support they provide patients and families in their care. Thank you.

0141 (Album Preview)

Bricolage are proud to present a new split EP from the heart of Glasgow's underground as Fragile X and Esef offer up four bruising slabs of bass driven techno and breakbeat. Both producers have dug deep into their respective sonic arsenals and retrieved the heavy artillery for this one.

Gritty, loose rhythms and gurgling basslines buzz around the opening track from Fragile X before alien bleeps appear and carry the track to it's conclusion. Next up, Esef, brings that trademark percussive punch and weighty bass movements that set the scene for a melodic explosion.

For the remixes, Esef tackles "Damage Control" head on and starts off with a dark and ominous tone that incorporates the original bassline into something that little bit more sinister before flicking the switch and dragging us feet first into an uplifting techno anthem. To round things off, Fragile X travels into the static with a hiss, before being joined by compact breakbeats, chopped up hi hats, warped bass samples and furious acid lines.

"Static Control" has been in the pipeline since late summer 2019 and we've been patiently sitting on it waiting to unleash it into the world. We hope you can agree that it's been worth the wait.

Esef - Through The Static (Fragile X "White Noise" remix)

Originally composed for the 2020 edition of the Australasian Computer Music Conference, 'City Circles' is a 28 minute piece that furthers my research on loops as a main musical currency, as well as the exploration of urban sounds and scenery, also present in 2018's "A deafening silence". 

Available from chemical imbalance in CDR and digital: https://chemical-imbalance.bandcamp.com/album/subespai-city-circles

Composed by Subespai (Mauri Edo).
Artwork & layout by Josh Paton.
Recorded, mixed & mastered by Matthew Syres.
Performed @ Alpha House Gallery in Erskineville, Gadigal Land. Sovereignty was never ceded.

City Circles (excerpt)

@ccmnhdr is the new collaborative project between Glaswegian producers John McLaren and Fraser Rowan. Both men already have releases on Bricolage under their belt as Urgula and Ty Lumnus, respectively. With the former specialsing in jagged sci-fi influenced IDM/techno and the latter focused more on angular modular experiments. After a couple of brain storming sessions they decided to bring their own individual talents together as one for a new project.

The result of this clash of styles is three warped and nostalgic IDM tracks where the ctyptic beat patterns imperceptibly blend together with the crystalline alien-like sound design. The influences range from both below the ground and above the clouds as underwater bleeps weave in and out of interplanetary synths and melodies.

Their 3 track "sBtrfge" EP is based around the fictitious island of "Qwghlm" and the idea of code breaking/underwater research.

This is one for those listeners who crave the hazy days of 90's IDM.
