Brigade

feels both familiar and unexpected

Follow this artist

Brigade moves between the booth and the studio with the same restless energy that defines their crate-digging practice. The Berlin duo's DJ sets lean heavily on house fundamentals, but there's nothing rote about their selections. Years spent hunting through vinyl bins translates into sets built from texture and narrative as much as rhythm, pulling from deep cuts and forgotten pressings to construct something that feels both familiar and unexpected. Their sample-based productions echo this excavation mentality, treating decades of recorded sound as raw material for careful reconstruction. Where other acts might coast on algorithm-friendly templates, Brigade still do the work, turning up with records that remind you why people started collecting in the first place.
