The Brigade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Brigade is a collective of Philadelphia producers that formed in mid 2004 with a common goal of creating heavy, innovative, dance-floor drum and bass. Half a year after The Brigade's conception their first release was brought forth. It was an A-side for a brand new label - World of Drum and Bass, owned by one of the forefathers of Drum and Bass, DJ SS. The track was entitled Rowdy, featuring vocalist Shannon Swain. The vibe of the tune had The Brigade written all over it. Philadelphia's prominent production company Substitution named its Thursday night weekly after the track, and with the Brigade in residency, alongside Dara and Nate Day, it did nothing but live up to its name. The Brigade is associated with World of Drum and Bass, Zeropoint and Sugar Coded record labels.
