Brodinski: Last Man Standing

There are a few veterans of the electro wars of 2007/08 who know fine well that landing a few well-placed victories in the form of Ed Banger bombshells does not mean that the war is won. Admittedly, Justice stormed the beaches with success and Uffie never suffered trenchfoot, but it’s fair to say that most have not enjoyed the lengthy, general’s career that they expected. For them, there is no parade.

Luckily, Brodinski suffered no such fate. In spite of rising to fame off the back of music blogs, notorious for demolishing the very acts they initially build up, he has remained a producer of consistent quality ever since the arrival of his excellent debut ‘Bad Runner’ on Mental Groove.

It was with this track that Brodinski became known to some of the most influential people within the dance music scene. Soon artists such as A-Trak, Busy P, Erol Alkan and the Dewaele brothers of 2manydjs fame were all taking notice of his varied and well researched sound. Following sets across Europe, Brodinski was invited to remix the likes of Bonde de Role, Klaxons, Das Pop, Shoes, D.I.M, Heart Revolutions and Adam Sky, as well as making himself comfortable behind the production desk at Tiga’s label Turbo and creating a mix for the Suck My Deck series.

His latest release, the double CD The Best of Everything features two mixes from the Parisian powerhouse, with his more familiar mixture of electro appearing on one side, and a surprising hip-hop blend starring on the flip with input from DJ Orgasmic.

After a long stint of working solo, Brodinski is now one half of The Krays, a collaboration between himself and long time friend and producer Yuksek. The pair have already remixed the likes of Ebony Bones and Peaches to devastating effect.
