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’.
In 2017, they released their first single, ‘Zulu’, on Solomun’s renowned label, ‘Diynamic’. ‘Zulu’ climbed the Beatport Deep House chart all the way up to number one and held its position for over twenty days. This single was played by the most outstanding exponents of said musical style, such as Solomun, Âme, Oliver Koletzki, Black Coffee, Acid Pauli, Seth Troxler, Matador, Magdalena, Andhim, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, among others.

Between 2020 and 2021, Brigado Crew began to work on its first album project. With the approval of Oliver Koletzki, it meant a major challenge for them to release their first album on the prestigious Germany-based label, Stil vor Talent. The Symbiosis album included 16 tracks. Amongst them, the track ‘7’ reached the third place in the Indie Dance Beatport sales. Aside from ‘7’, other tracks like ‘I Can’t Explain’, ‘Rocking It’, ‘Aerodynamic’, ‘S9’, and ‘Get It Now’ also attained significant results on the Beatport charts, all ranking within the top 20. With their first album, Brigado Crew succeeded in consolidating their musical identity more than ever, with an emphasis on the music of the eighties decade and a futuristic style.
During 2022, Brigado Crew undertook the Symbiosis project, their own record label, which came into existence in 2023. Also during 2023, they released music on Bedrock Records and Tomorrowland Music.
