Bricolage head @fragilex, returns for his first standalone release on the label since 2019's "The Butterfly Effect".

"The Great Brain Robbery" sees a continuation of his exploration of all things cerebrum based. Both in humans and machines.

The narrative that runs throughout is one of "What If?"

What if we could download our consciousness? What if we could upload them into machines? What if those were hacked into? What if they were modified?

The music itself is a series of complex and futuristic soundscapes welded onto sturdy broken beats and accelerated percussive transmissions. Electronic grey matter illuminated with flashing neurons and intricate, mutated circuitry, communicating with viral chain reactions. There's elements of ambient, IDM, techno and drum n bass scattered throughout this propulsive and dynamic journey.

Will the machines take over? Can we stop them?

Our third release of 2023 comes from Urgula. Following on from his much lauded "Frequency Wars" EP on the label back in 2020, the Glaswegian producer returns to Bricolage with his first full length release in the form of "Caustic Manifest(o)".

An album inspired in part by Italian futurism, the dark and hypnotic soundscapes on show here give privy to the idea of traversing through galaxies, planets and moons. With dynamic, pulsing and energetic movements, we launch from earth and are propelled upwards into orbit and beyond with a cluster of dystopian bleeps and alien-like atmospherics that teleport us into a hyper space soundtrack of serrated percussion, spiraling modular tones and extra terrestrial sound design.

This is club music for the worlds above us.

A quartet of water based soundscapes, inspired by early mornings swimming in the sea and late nights listening to the waves.

Three and a half years after her debut album, "Ancestral Origins" was released, we welcome the return of Canadian sound sculptor and field recording specialist, Minimal Drone GRL, to Bricolage.

Her new album, "Through A Green Lens", follows further along the storytelling path that was introduced on her debut. This latest audio collage digs deeper into her journey and encapsulates the various places that she has inhabited throughout her life. There's references to the suburbs, cities and the countryside.

Travelling is also a big part of Joanne's life and the sights and sounds of the places she has visited have inspired a stirring whirlwind of affection and memories that are laid out here, among the soundscapes on offer.

When you combine the elements of home life and travelling the result is "Through A Green Lens". Joanne's life through her eyes.

This stunning sophomore album effortlessly weaves together facets of ambient, dream pop, vaporwave and electronica.

The MDG signature sound has always been expansive in nature and encompassing in emotion. "Through A Green Lens" continues that approach but with an evolution on the production side. Every sound has its place along the voyage and every new chapter of her story unfolds like a conversation with an old friend around a campfire.

Warm, rich and brimming with life, this is the perfect album to take you away to another place for an hour. Wherever that place may be.

Dissident Music is proud to welcome Glenn Molloy back to the label with his first full release! Here, he makes his mark with UAP, a bold and forward-focused EP that dives deep into dark progressive house, techno and electronica. With the original mix and a standout progressive breaks reinterpretation by Focus FL, this release offers something for both immersive listening and peak-time sets. A bonus inclusion is the track Cosmic Dimensions, which first appeared on Dissident Miami 2024. Dublin-based Molloy started spinning old-school vinyl at the age of 12 and has steadily earned support from heavyweights including Jimmy Van M, Chris Fortier and Nick Warren. His productions are known for merging lush melodies with driving rhythms and subtle textures — traits that shine through on this release. UAP brings together layered melodic progressions, driving rhythms and textured soundscapes, while the remix injects fresh, melodic, breakbeat energy — making UAP a versatile and essential offering for DJs and progressive house fans alike. 2025 has been a banner year for Dissident Music, with releases from artists like Quivver, Gai Barone, Lemon8, Kiz Pattison, Sandra Collins, Ranj Kaler, Zy Khan, Madison Palmer, Micke, Amir Telem and many more. Thanks for listening- and stay tuned for more!
