Brian Harrison and Martín Kasall became acquainted with each other all the way back in 2012, while exchanging musical ideas which materialized in diverse subsequent projects. This interaction gave rise to the creation of the alias Brigado Crew. This peculiar stage name derives from the word obrigado, meaning thanks in Portuguese.
Throughout their career, Brigado Crew have released their music on several dance music labels worldwide, such as ‘Stil vor Talent’, ‘Tomorrowland music’, ‘Bedrock’, ‘Radikon’, ‘Katermukke’, ‘MoBLack’, ‘Jeudi’, ‘Diynamic music’, ‘Sincopat’, ‘Solar Distance’, ‘Chapter 24’, ‘Suara’, ‘Stripped Down’, ‘Lost On You’, ‘Eleatics Records’, ‘Stereo Productions’, ‘Toolroom Records’, ‘Glasgow Underground’, ‘303Lovers’, ‘Suruba’ and ‘Ultra’.
Presenting their signature fusion of melodic house and driving techno, Brigado Crew make their highly anticipated debut on Purified Records with their brand-new EP ‘Here I Am’. The Argentine duo are known for their cinematic approach to electronic music, blending rich melodies, atmospheric textures, and powerful grooves. This three-track release sees them unite with Clér Letiv, Crisstiano and Peces Raros, resulting in an immersive journey through deep, emotive soundscapes.
The EP opens with ‘Here I Am’, a mesmerizing collaboration with Clér Letiv, where hypnotic basslines and ethereal vocals intertwine to create a dreamy yet driving energy. The track’s emotive harmonies and fluid arrangements make it a standout moment in their growing discography. Next, ‘Kattegat’ alongside Crisstiano plunges into darker, cinematic territory. Layered with sweeping synths, intricate percussive elements, and a brooding rhythm, the track builds intensity, delivering a deep, hypnotic groove. Closing the EP, their collaboration with Peces Raros on ‘Declive’ explores shadowy textures and raw energy, fusing haunting synth melodies with a pulsating low-end. Its atmospheric depth and evolving sound design make for an unforgettable late-night experience.
‘Here I Am’ isn’t just an EP; it’s an invitation to dive into the depths of Brigado Crew’s world. Bold, immersive, and unapologetically unique, it’s a release that lingers long after the last beat drops. Their inaugural release on the label, this captivating three-tracker marks a thrilling new chapter in their journey.
