A compilation of brand new and exclusive music to celebrate a decade of Bricolage. 27 tracks in total. Over 2 and a half hours of sound. A journey that captures a multitude of styles from all across the electronic spectrum.

It's a 'who's who' of the label past, present and future. We've got Bricolage stalwarts like Dark Fidelity Hi Fi, Belial Pelegrim, Minimal Drone GRL, Fragile X and No Arrival. Some returning old favourites in the form of The Jaffa Kid, Foundered, Minerva and Arran Trax. A bunch of some of our newer regulars in Wilks, Sulci, The New Human and Beira alongside some completely fresh faces on Bricolage with appearances from Veelargo, Kuma and Oceanographer. There's a whole host of other artists that help characterise exactly what Bricolage endeavours towards musically.

'slightly faint
yet clear
the milky way'

by: Toshio Kiyosaki

Toshio Kiyosaki (1922-1999) was a Japanese haiku poet and scholar of Japanese literature. He published a biography of Kyoshi Takahama in 1966 and co-authored Kyoshi Monogatari, another study on the renowned haiku poet, in 1979.

The Milky Way (amanogawa, or "Heavenly River" in Japanese) is a kigo for Autumn, mainly because that's when the galaxy is most visible in Japan.
