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.

Doxil returns to Bricolage with the follow up to 2020's "Anarchist Pacifism and Friends".

"Vert" sees the continuation and evolution of that signature Doxil audio vortex of rhythmic breaks, obscure samples and nods to the 90's rave scene but with an even clearer emphasis on creating a nostalgic atmosphere.

A sweet fusion of garage, breaks, ambient intermissions and IDM vibes that draws influences from a broad range of peers.

The release starts off in a contemplative mood with the opening downtempo tracks echoing memories of early Burial material amid a slew of slow burning UKG rhythms and moody backdrops to set the tone. The second half of the EP picks up the pace with Doxil flexing his knack for euphoria inducing catchy hooks on "Brio" before "Lil' Nova" crashes in to end the party with crisp beats and melancholy yet uplifting pads.

Almost a full year after "Bangers and Mash" it seems Steve Hadfield is finally ready to serve up dessert...

"Rhubarb and Custard" takes the recipe for last years chaotic EP and decides to lump even more spoonfuls of havoc into the mix.

This latest release from the Leeds based producer cranks up the tempo in more ways than one. Drill n bass, industrial and braindance ethos all collide into each other for one huge maelstrom of percussion heavy electronics.

"Cinema Roll" is the calm before the storm, luring you into a false sense of security with its spacey bleeps and unthreatening tones before diverting into an outro of abrasive noise that put a marker down for the rest of the EP. From here on in it gets wild. Gone are the gleeful elements from the "Bangers and Mash" release, replaced with much darker, almost mad scientist type, tones. "Palate Cleanser" and "Petits 4/4's" both offer some intermittent respite and a slightly more playful mood before we return each time to full throttle madness, dense low ends and frenzied percussive assaults.

Sometimes we all go a little crazy. "Rhubarb and Custard" is a fresh batch of bedlam from the warped side of Steve Hadfield.

"Blindspot" is the debut EP from the mysterious Jonblund.

With a name that translates as "The Sandman" in Norwegian, the music plays up to that theme and beyond. A transcendent assemblage of tunes to soundtrack your dreams and slow down the time. The EP is a mixture of live instrumentation and analogue electronics threaded together with glitchy downtempo beats.

The meshing together of piano, horns, strings and synth alongside carefully manipulated digital landscapes makes for a progressive listening experience that at times flirts with the grandiose nature of things without ever becoming melodramatic. Each track breathing new life into the next and forming new textures and an organic aesthetic that flows throughout the release.

The sandman cometh...
