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.

Oneirism

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.

JUNGLE FEVER 3SUM
ALternative Mixdowns
Pt 1
original songs by Skender Makota

A part of a three song themed ambient/jungle/drumnbass saga.

Please start with Part 1, listen through Part 2 and end here with Part 3.

BONUS tracks are:
- Part 1 with Alternative Mix
- Part 2 (Oasys) with Alternative Mix
I guess they should be "2Sum", but then again, why2Sum when they could be.. 5SUM?
Naah, forget it. Next time...

I've always been into good drumbie or jungle, house music is where I live, but I like to travel outside as well, visit the neighbors so to speak, and make some drumnbass, ambient, techno or whatever.

This versatility is one major bonus electronic music production allows us to do, and in my opinion one of the major reasons why I love making and living in the sounds of good electronic music in my productions.

While I also fully enjoy jazz music and playing jazz piano, transcribing tracks by Bill Evans, Munk, Parker, Corea and many other legends, my mindset is in the study and mind expanding mode, as jazz theory in my opinion is one of the most interesting enigmas for a musician to get into "resolving", as it is really a gift that keeps on giving...

But once I get my Moogs up and running, those lights and leds start turning on in my head as well, and I switch to pure enjoyment of making more electronic music, often incorporating what I learned while jazz studying, I guess ;)

You could say that I see ALL music as one big family, which often gets into quarrels with each other, but are always there for each other when, and if the shit hits da fan.

As one of my great teachers at Berklee in Boston '99 said: "It's just Music, maan".

More jungle coming up, stay tuned!
