Spacious track. Really captures the essence of nature.

The end of August is our 7 year anniversary as a label and brings with it a new compilation in the form of "Working Memory".

We've pooled together some of the most unique artists on the roster for this special release.

Aquatic infused and lively, bubbly electronica from label head, Fragile X.

Working Memory (bc074)

Working Memory CD

Fragile X - Algaerhythm

Enigmatic Glasgow producer No Arrival returns to Bricolage with his new album "Chase".

This latest album marks his third release on the label and follows on from 2021's genre defying "Converse".

"Chase" checks all the boxes that make up part of the No Arrival puzzle. Those dynamic electro-acoustics and misty organic palettes jostle for head space alongside ever morphing and abstract patterns. In turn, creating fractured sonic terrains galore and a misty, dream like atmosphere that elevates the music to new dimensions. Throw a profusion of spluttered breaks and twisted percussion into the mix and the result is yet another complex and mysterious audio footprint from the ambiguous producer.

INDEx Mix #32 - Fragile X

"Xuxurlatu" is the musical project of two siblings, based in Andorra.

Preferring to keep their real names confidential, the duo work under the names of "Handia" and "Sustraia".

They both moved to Andorra from their native Bilbao in their early twenties to pursue their dreams of working in wildlife conservation. It's their love of the fauna and flora that act as the core basis and inspiration of their debut release, "Ama".

"Ama" is a deep journey into the forest of the Pyrenees. A rich and progressive album that acts as an ascension from the green to the blue. Awash with prismatic instrumentation and textures, a sweeping ambient mist, melodic hues and vaporous pads. While the modular sequences pulse along gently before blurring into the transcendent soundscapes.

There's an optimistic light in the dark that we can save this planet of ours. "Ama" is the soundtrack to that optimism.

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?

This renowned French techno producer, known as Manuel-M, is also the author of three ambient albums, Endurance (2008), Thirty (2016) and the newly released Forest (2022), whose serenity, cinematic atmospheres, drones and long synthetic complaints evoke the majestic landscapes that adorn the covers of his records.

The piece is based on a hypnotic loop, taken from a fragment of a classical music orchestra chord, the sound of which is largely reworked. As the composition progresses, other patterns, including inverted sounds, appear to create a sense of movement, waves, and a slight confusion.For me, the progression of "Clair Obscur" could evoke a human figure, in the grip of some kind of blockage, impasse, but also of reset. As if trying to progress against the elements, to swim against the tide, while gaining ground step by step. The bass settles in to support this desire to progress, one melody answers another to create a dialogue. Then longer notes come in to guide the evolution of the whole piece.I wanted to express this need to keep moving forward. That despite the pitfalls, life goes on. That we must move forward. That we are our own unique driving force.

Ambient is a refuge. It's a space where I get more intimate, a place where I can express my different feelings. For me there is always a duality between light and shadow. A sort of in-between, a grey area where everything is mixed up. A combination of contemplation and introspection. In my latest pieces, I try to add a brighter side to explore new horizons, but without letting go of my inner emotions, my own experience. When it comes to listening to ambient music, I enjoy the eclectic and varied sound universes that artists are proposing today. Many of them have a beautiful musical world, with very strong concepts. This music adapts to many contexts. I think that we have never heard as much as we do today. Both consciously, with active and attentive listening, and in the background in film music, documentaries, in an exhibition...

DEMO 2023

[𝔼́ℂℍ𝕆𝕊𝕐𝕊𝕋𝔼̀𝕄𝔼 𝕡𝕣𝕖𝕞𝕚𝕖𝕣𝕖] Irezumi - Clair Obscur

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.
