Sleepybutterfly - In God's Hands

11 Dec - 8848 No More

Spirits of Tepeyac Under the Silver Rain is a prayer-album inspired by the Virgin of Guadalupe as a central cultural icon of Mexico, and by the layered histories and spiritual continuities embedded in her image.
The work draws from a widely acknowledged cultural understanding in which the Virgin of Guadalupe carries a deep connection to Coatlicue, the ancient mother-earth figure. In this context, Coatlicue is the saint, a protective light, while also embodying the primordial force of the land the black anaconda rising from the soil. These dimensions coexist as part of the same symbolic lineage.
Composed of chants and sound environments, the album reflects processes of spiritual and cultural colonization that shaped the Guadalupe icon over time. 
This project is also inspired by a personal childhood experience: an angelic apparition encountered at the age of eight, perceived as a Virgin-like presence that appeared during sleep on the night the my grandfather died. 
The silver rain signifies protection and renewal falling over Tepeyac, the hill where the Virgin of Guadalupe is said to have appeared to Juan Diego in 1531. Originally a sacred ceremonial site in pre-Hispanic Mexico, Tepeyac later became a central location for colonial devotion, functioning as a symbolic landscape where indigenous cosmology and colonial religious narratives intersect.

The album will be released on December 12th via Bandcamp and SoundCloud.

Prayer(Rezo): 
Sangre 
que brota de tus piernas
como semillas que besan la tierra,
abre el útero y deja que el agua fría
y fértil riegue el campo.
Tus piernas húmedas,
marcadas 
por la sangre que engendró
a los hombres sombra,
temblorosas y cansadas,
aun así nos envuelven a todos
con calor. Cuidas a tus hijos.
Concédenos ese sabor dulce y amargo,
como el amor de una madre que sabe de penas.
Abre nuestros corazones crudos
con tus manos cálidas,
recuérdanos
que amemos hasta que el dolor,
que me ha hecho pedazos,
se desvanezca en la tierra fértil.
De 
regreso.

Earthscape II - Mycelia

Urgula' is a fresh alias from Glasgow producer John McLaren aka 'Kill Them With Noise'. KTWN is no nonsense, dance floor orientated techno. Things take a more focused and sound design approach with the Urgula alias. The sounds are still sharp and full of drive but come stripped back to their core and given that little bit more space to bounce off each other amid the frequency wars.

This new project puts emphasis on the the much lauded futuristic elements of techno. Spider web like percussion that continuously evolves against glitchy, almost industrial, backdrops with synth lines that stab at the surface and low bass movements that prop up the dystopian terrains. Mechanical music with a human side. 

The EP come backed up with two remixes of "Battle For The Magnetic Fields". A genre bending effort from fellow Glaswegian 'Doxil' and a more contemplative but different take on things from Budapest native, 'Yasda'.

Frequency Wars (bc053)

Frequency Wars EP

Urgula - Scavengers At Station 11 (from the "Frequency Wars" EP)

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.
