Patchwork Rattlebag tease debut album with glitchy and ethereal electronica single ‘Hook, Line and Riser’
Salford based experimental collective, Patchwork Rattlebag have released ‘Hook, Line and Riser’, the first single from their forthcoming album ‘Fragments 1’.
Frequently incorporating other artforms, the group constructs music with a strong vocal presence, featuring instruments, synthesisers, field recordings and beats. Consisting of three core members who value collaboration and curiosity, Patchwork Rattlebag traverse the spaces between the visual, audible, invisible and ineffable.
‘Hook, Line and Riser’ features glitchy, beat-driven electronica and overlapping, ethereal, and sometimes disorienting vocals to explore the question: ‘What does it mean to be the same but altered?’.
The track is made up of part/whole relationships and the collaboration of disparate parts. Expressed through uncompromising beats, ruthless basslines, relentless distorted synths, and concordant, Sardinian-influenced overtone voices, ‘Hook, Line and Riser’ presents fragmented images of subjective and social formation. The elements used to create the track form an unlikely totality, encapsulated in the phrase Sardinian singers use to describe an illusory voice created by the collective overtones of several vocalists: “la voce degli angeli”.
The accompanying music video for the track brings these ideas to life through data moshed environments featuring disembodied eyes, hands, and mouths, as well as medical imagery: individuals as parts of a whole.
Debut Patchwork Rattlebag album ‘Fragments 1’ is set for release on 21st Nov via YMTC.
International touring musician and multi-instrumentalist Nadav Tabak returns to the UK with his immersive solo project and the release of his new single, ‘Electric Roots’, a powerful instrumental journey blending driving electronic trance with raw, organic instrumentation.
Following years of international touring, Tabak has carved out a distinct sonic identity: a live performance that merges hypnotic beats, tribal textures, and virtuosic guitar work into a dance-floor ritual experience.
Electric Roots represents the core of his sound both literally and metaphorically. The track explores the fusion between the electric world of trance and the rooted, earthy essence of acoustic instruments. Pulsing basslines and driving techno rhythms intertwine with organic timbres, live looping, and expressive instrumentation, creating something that feels both ancient and futuristic.
Unlike traditional DJ sets, Tabak performs entirely live, building layers in real time through looping, percussion, and melodic improvisation. The result is an instrumental experience that is rhythm-driven, immersive, and uniquely his own.
The upcoming UK tour will showcase this evolving sound in intimate venues and festival settings, offering audiences a high-energy, genre-blending performance that moves seamlessly between dancefloor intensity and organic atmosphere.
With Electric Roots, Nadav Tabak continues to push the boundaries between electronic music and live instrumental performance grounding trance in something human, physical, and deeply rooted.
