It feels prescient to admit I did not come to Brodinski's Brava from a place of mental wealth. I was sure I'd come across his name in my years of internet sleuthing, but before he became involved in the lengthy credits of Kanye West's Yeezus I was unaware of his merits. For those unaware (or perhaps perturbedly aware) of his contributions, he provided what are likely the femurs and clavicles for "Black Skinhead" and "Send It Up"...

The past year, though, has been about piecing together his debut solo abum, Brava, which is out Tuesday (March 3) on Parlophone/Warner Music. A hazy, seductive blend of trap and techno, it feels like the soundtrack to a strip club in Paris' grittiest arrondissement. Think Justice on lean.
Brava is dedicated to the late DJ Mehdi, another French producer known for straddling hip-hop and house, whom Brodinski credits as a mentor...

Though it's been on the cards for a while now - we're a long way from Brodinski's past high-profile mixes for Fabric, I Love Techno and Bugged Out - it's now official. Frenchman Louis Rogé has reset his sights for the benefit of the trap set.
'Brava' laps up rivers of energy drink, drugs, and payday ignorance not au fait with the concept of sharing the love...

Arguably preempting a sea-change in the way that French electronica is percieved, Brodinski has certainly bucked the trend of Parisian chic-house and Daft-Punkery with his debut full-length Brava, a blend of hip-house, footwork and deep, dark beats that reaches far beyond the constraints of the traditional scene...

It baffles me when a DJ receives praise for weaving together different subgenres of electronic dance music. Techno and tech-house? Electro and Italo? Wasn't that, like, the second thought people had after they realized they could mix records? (Somewhere in New York, Nicky Siano is sitting in a rent-controlled apartment spinning Led Zeppelin into Bobby Womack, laughing his ass off...

Bugged Out! return with another installment of their highly respected Suck My Deck album series, this time landing Brodinski to do the mix honors. Brodinski is the most exciting DJ and producer to explode onto the scene in recent years. Yes, he may hail from France (Reims, Lille) but he is quite unlike any of his Parisian peers. His taste in music is broad and this is reflected in his own productions and DJ sets, which may encompass noisy techno, bass heavy house through to more melodic minimal...

The hour long set mixed by DJ Brodinski features hectic, head-pounding electro and house, as would be expected from one of the up and coming stars of French electronica scene. At times, the set tends to drone on, but it's forgivable granted the beats he picks are solid and each track is blended well; it's hard not to appreciate its dance-floor appeal, something we can trust Brodinski knows all about...
