In 93, Brett settles in New York, consequently are his musical orientations which change while evolving to Deep-House intermingled with rich and deep, jazz inspired grooves.

In 95, having acquired a certain musical maturity but eager to affirm his role of producer, he created Trackmode Recordings in which he controls all the stages going of the artistic direction until the distribution. Brett can then affirm his musical identity by managing his own compositions freely as well as by ensuring the realization of many projects with famous Tony RODRIGUEZ (Sound Of Music) and Carlos SANCHEZ (Dj & producer newyorkais).

Logical continuation of its evolution, the label is directed today towards France hat Brett regards as the most creative country and most receptive at the present time. It is thus among us that will be made the launching of the first album of Trackmode: ABSTRACT FUSION.
