Brian Harrison and Martin Kasall became acquainted with each other all the way back in 2012. This stage name so peculiar that they decided to come up with derives from the word obrigado, meaning thanks in Portuguese. Brigado Crew have been consistent with their sound, which varies between house and techno, often with ethnic and tribal overtones, as a defining feature of their signature style.
Throughout their career, the Argentinian duo have released their music on a wide array of dance music labels, including Stil vor Talent, Katermukke, MoBLack, Jeudi, Sincopat, Solar Distance, Chapter 24, Suara, Stripped Down, Lost On You, Eleatics Records, Stereo Productions, Toolroom Records, Glasgow Underground, 303Lovers, Suruba, Diynamic, among others.
Now the Brigado Crew present their debut studio album, ‘Symbiosis’, out now via Still vor Talent. This 16 track long-player straddles genres, borders, and eras to redefine collaborative modern sound. To celebrate this important release, the duo shared with us some of the tracks that marked important moments in their career.
