In partnership with

Vinyl-led collective Brakery pick ten tracks that capture the spirit of DIY culture, live collaboration and analogue sound.

Spanning deep cuts, percussive jams and floor-ready blends, this playlist captures the sound of Brakery’s community: eclectic, analogue-led, and rooted in collaboration. Based in Bristol, the collective brings artists together through open jam sessions, DJ sets and multidisciplinary events that celebrate process as much as performance. In partnership with Studio Monkey Shoulder – the initiative backing grassroots music spaces – Brakery spotlights the 10 tracks that inspire their unique approach to curation and community.
