He quickly became well known for his action packed and thrilling DJ sets, with his skills on the decks propelling him onto dance floors and festivals all around the world. Due to this ability he has collected an impressive list of club references, including "Studio 80" (Amsterdam), "Yellow" (Tokyo), "Fabric" and "The EGG" (London), "Sonar" (Barcelona), the "Culture Box" (Copenhagen). Of course, Todd Bodine has also stayed true to his roots and has performed regularly and often in Berlin’s best clubbing hot spots: "Kater Holzig", "Stattbad", "Watergate" and "Panorama Bar".   Todd is also responsible for the artistic and conceptual management of the popular Highgrade label parties.

As one of the label bosses, Todd Bodine takes care of A&R, label management and art direction of the releases, which can be clearly seen in the various cover imagery of the records. Also for the label, Todd is an integral founding member of the extremely successful "Highgrade Disharmonic Orchestra" project alongside Tom Clark, Daniel Dreier and Philip Bader. Part of his role is making sure that every live show is a unique on-stage experience where all of the artists can express their own individual sound signatures.   As the orchestra conductor Todd Bodine carries an unmistakable musical flair that has been evident since his first electronic productions.
