A new album called ‘0141’ from Bricolage is being released later this month featuring music by myself and other Glasgow-based artists. Click the image below to check it out.
On August 31st we celebrate completing our fourth year as a label. It’s been a fulfilling and creative 48 months. To mark this years anniversary we decided to bring things back closer to home and have our annual compilation exclusively feature Glasgow artists. We wanted the sounds of the city. The sounds of home.
Arran Trax’s EP “Morgenlicht” has just been released. The EP includes a version of the title track remixed by myself.

Oscurito’s EP Eastern Philosophy has been released on the Bricolage Collective label featuring my remix of the track Find Your Centre.
Eighteen months on from the release of his “Octopus” EP at the start of 2016, Oscurito, returns to Bricolage with fresh ideas, new philosophies and a whole new production skill set. The “Eastern Philosophy” EP sees the Glaswegian indulge his ambient side that bit more. ‘Kunoichi’ opens things up with a buzzing, calming drone, sparse keys, sumptuous synth work and some stunning string sections that slowly engulf your headspace before ‘The Nihon Shoki’ slowly flutters into view with yet more string arrangements and synths. This time they come backed up with carefully selected and perfectly placed percussive elements and a humming bassline. Then the deep vocals of “Find Your Centre” introduce us to the most danceable track on the EP. Out goes the overall ambient side of things and back in come those trademark bulky basslines, sliding perc work and psychedelic melodies to form a big, truly Eastern flavoured tech house special. It’s been a pleasure to watch the evolution of Oscurito over the past year and a half and there’s way more to come from a producer who’s just starting to find his own sound.
The EP comes backed up with two remixes of “Find Your Centre”. the first is an electro flavoured take on things from Dreamland Fantasy. Keeping all the main ingredients of the original at the fore and adding his own elements to create a fresh and engaging remix.
Minerva chooses to go down a more progressive route by manipulating the original percussion into her own bustling style and letting things slowly evolve in a repetitive and hypnotic fashion that harks back to the early days of that old school prog house feel of 2000’s. Big kicks at the forefront to really drum things home.
My latest track Catch One’s Heart, which is dedicated to my wonderful wife, has been released and is available on SoundCloud and BandCamp:

From Bricolage’s BandCamp page:
Volumes 1 and 2 of our various artists compilations spanned all corners of the globe and provided some fantastic sounds. For Volume 3 we’ve stayed closer to home and delivered a substantial range of tracks that are all products of Scotland. In sticking with the theme of the previous compilations, the sounds are as eclectic as ever. Music from Alpha Skies, Dreamland Fantasy, Nova Noma, Gregor Garnutsi and many more.
