“Purveyors of the quaint, novelty musical genre – but with a twist.”
And often, with a swing. Acid Skiffle – Acid, from the loops and the repetition – pitted against Skiffle, referring to the improvised instruments and jazz inspired folk arrangement. Novelty, at times but readymade, rather than sampladelia. Leftfield, perhaps in approach.
There’s also a nod to big band, with the slightly more sincere “A Happy Melody”… but in the context of Bluebottle, we know it’s all fun and games.
Notable BLUEBOTTLES projects and appearances include:

Mix | Streaming Playlist Salvador Dalek’s “Seaside Weekend” (Day 085) is where downtempo beats meet beachside bingo. Mixed by Eric Scott, this set melds progressive house and dancefloor-oriented grooves from the Day For Night artist roster, also featuring Rhythm Factory, … and even Bluebottles… resulting in a blend of hauntological pastiche.
The inner musical soup of Eric Scott begins as a swirling repetitive haze of musical, nearly ‘hauntological’ melodies at times. This forms the basis for the Inner Radio project, which began on the 1st of January 2014, and has continued as a musical diary since, with daily results pouring from the everyday of Day For […]
