Kyodai
Kyodai means „brothers“ in Japanese and that’s a good clue for guessing who`s behind these two heads, the producers are known under a variety of different names! a duo that gained respect from musical heavy weights like Laurent Garnier, Masters At Work, Gilles Peterson, Danny Krivit, Rainer Trüby, Jimpster, and they regularly release under a variety of different names for labels such as Compost, Odori, Om, Lovemonk………
Kyodai have had a strong run of releases since their debut here on Freerange Records last year. Their „Mi Rumba EP“ must have impressed a lot of people as they went on to release a follow up EP for Mad Mats blossoming Local Talk label with „Breaking EP“, supported by top names, until reaching the top list of the Gilles Peterson’s „An All Winners Show“, and also have an EP due on Pokerflat called „Never Know“. Kerri Chandler dug it enough to include on his RA podcast and it was also picked up for the Cielo Compilation on Nervous, resulting in many requests for remixes and productions.
