Ever since we heard Brodinski’s remix of fellow producer and friend Gesaffelstein’s ‘Viol‘ we knew that the talented Frenchman was firmly one to watch with his jagged synth lines, peculiar samples and a complete disregard for genre boundaries and he hasn’t disappointed as he and his Bromance imprint have gone from strength to strength.
After contributing as a producer to Kanye West’s last album Yeezus and releasing a mixtape entitled ‘The Purple Ride’ which drew on the man from Lille’s hip hop influences then confirmed that next up was the release of his long awaited debut album.
Brodinski has given a few clues to what the album will sound like revealing that it will see him continue to amalgamate genres and gave a few hints as to what styles we may hear on the LP saying : “It’s like mixing styles, which is always a good idea but never usually brings good results, so I’m trying to do it well with what I love about techno and electronic music in general and what I like about rap, R&B and everything from southern USA.”
Whilst we’re still waiting to hear the album in its entirety the good news is that not that far off getting a far more regular fix of the Frenchman as he has been unveiled as one of a trio of new all star residents to be soon plying their trade on flagship radio station BBC Radio One. Brodinski will be joining the recently health stricken Tiesto and chart topper Martin Garrix in filling the Thursday night airwave slots from 9-10pm and 12midnight – 2am. With the Bromance boss onboard mainstream radio just got that bit cooler.
