Todd Bodine was born in 1976 and grew up in Berlin. In 1997 he started out as a resident DJ at Tresor club, where he played his energetic Detroit-sets over the next few years.
In 1999 he released his first record together with Daniel Paul and DJ Zky on Season records. In the same year he also renovated his own studio, where he produced his own first solohouse-project, which was released on Cabinet records – namely Travel EP. Between 2000 and 2001 he was involved in some co-productions with Cabinet Records and Mermaid Records.
Over the years Todd Bodine developed his music taste and style in producing and mixing music. Bored with the evolution of Techno he now saw his musical future in Techhouse – the affiliation of soul and minimalistic elements.
In 2002 he relocated into Berlins label Rampe D’s studio. It was at this point in time that other label heads became aware of his talents, and therefore he became the chance to collaborate with various labels, such as, Highgrade Records, Morris Audio, Tongut und Tresor Records.
Todd Bodine understood music as a catalyst to spontaneous and instinctive feelings/sounds. He tried to understand music as a whole, on his way experimenting with combining different styles and harmonising them.

PRODUCT INFO:
The world of electronic music only grows wider and more complex thanks to composers like Todd Bodine. The Berlin-based producer who is artistically inclined towards minimal sounds recorded his debut album for Tresor in 2005. The first outtakes for vinyl were already released in May 2005 (Tresor.210 ³Life Signs²) and October 2005 (Tresor.217 ³Particles²) to afford a preview of the CD album release in January 2006. And here it is: a full-length documentation of Todd Bodine's version of electronica exploring a unique range of moods, tastes, feelings, polarities and textures.
Bodine¹s distintive studio work excels on his Tresor debut album: just listen to the sexy bass rhythms and bleeped sensuality in ³Roommate², ³Vanish² and ³Mimic². On the other hand, in the stark track "Femunden" the dub takes charge and gives hyperspace a funky downsize, until you give up trying to identify with the sounds and just accept the seductive beat. Lushness even creeps up 'side the head (especially with headphones) in "Enemies Behind" and you're never far from the planetary elements that make up Todd Bodine's rich blend of electro nujazz, techfunk and crossover fusion, that snarls its sonic pulse into your tapping foot or swinging hips. The exploration undertaken here (check out the sci-fi soundtrack quality in the funk machinery of "No Answer") ultimately creates a refreshingly adult yet melancholic ambience that sometimes holds the listener spellbound, and other times leads the way straight to the dance floor. Just as in the sublime track "The Way Back", Todd's new Tresor album aurally steers its way through the sphere that makes up his version of electronic music constructivism, while leaving familiar traces of dance magic along the way for a safe return trip.
If Bodine´s talent was not evident enough with his releases on Highgrade, Morris Audio Citysport, Tongut or SubStatic Records, then it certainly surfaces now with "Surfaces" a minimal masterpiece.
On vinyl available:
Tresor.210, Todd Bodine, Life Signs EP including John Tejada Rmx,
Tresor.217, Todd Bodine, Particles EP
