What happens when two of France's most prolific producers team up with the most extravagant screwball of fire in the UK?
Yuksek and Brodinski share a thing or two. They both have a knack for banging electro and techno tunes. A no-nonsense, all guns blazing approach to sound. The good friends both received individual kudos from their elder peers such as Soulwax, Pedro Winter, Tiga and Erol Alkan - and they are both part of The Krays.
YUKSEK: You might know him from his acclaimed album 'Away From The Sea', which included guest appearances by Chromeo, Spank Rock-associate Amanda Blank and the Scottish discopunks of Shit Disco. When Yuksek is not wowing audiences worldwide with his impressive, vintage synth-led one-man-show, he's cooking up remixes for the likes of Gossip, The Prodigy, Kaiser Chiefs, pop phenomenon Lady Gaga and recent Grammy-laureates Phoenix.
BRODINSKI: This young man has been hailed as one of the best beat jugglers around, bursting onto the scene with show stopping DJ sets in his native France. Through his website, 'Brodi' pitched his amazing mixtapes to a worldwide, dedicated and blog addicted following. Or as one fan said: 'his sets are clean but his tracks are dirty'. The single Bad Runner (produced by Yuksek) was loudly applauded under fellow DJs who aim for maximum dance floor destruction.
'We're Ready When You Are' is their first effort as a twosome, and they invited the phenomenally bonkers Ebony Bones to join them for the ride. A rollercoaster it is, a cyclone of joyful acid house, discofied percussion and the energy of a thousand twisted raves. If The Krays were a Broadway show, this would be one hell of an opening act. Exciting, sexy, dangereux quoi.
'We're Ready When You Are' is to be released from the exciting new label Abracada on May 30th 2010.
