Katy Jay (Radio Presenter, Skylab Radio) My favourite track of 2023 has to be this one from Fragile X - one of Skylab Radio's most popular-played tracks and one of our chosen tracks in the 365 Days Of Chill series of 2023. Favorite track: Localmotion.

The Good Doctor Another massive addition to a hugely impressive discography.

Fragile X is one of the most forward thinking artists out there at the moment. Every sound has its place and meaning.

100% AOTY contender. Strong contender for title of the year too!
Favorite track: Neurorchestra.

about

Bricolage head Fragile X, 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?

Download comes with a bonus high quality PDF comic version of "The Great Brain Robbery" narrative.
