About Badger:
Badger is possibly one of the fastest rising Electronic artists in UK Dance Music. His engaging presence in the viral landscape of TikTok and Instagram has become hard to ignore, with a follower growth of more than 20x over the past 12 months As a producer and DJ specialising in UK Garage, Bass House, and Jungle; Badger’s unique musical approach and an ability to harness the power of nostalgia has built him a highly-engaged audience at a rapid rate.
His live shows are a gleeful adventure through sound. On stage, he acts as the joy-ride tour guide, whipping his crowd through the backstreets of dance music. Masterfully weaving between the old, the new, the undiscovered and the completely unexpected. Badger was first co-signed by AC Slater in 2022 who fell in love with his sound, which lead to Badger releasing several tracks on AC’s Night Bass label.
Now Badger is one of the most sought-after underground DJ acts in the UK with an intense touring schedule still not managing to satisfy the huge demand for him across the country. Recently Badger’s music has been supported by the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Tiffany Calver, Interplanetary Criminal, VTSS, Skream, Main Phase, Jyoty, Miley Serious and several other critically acclaimed international DJs.
His single ‘Backstrap’ also spent a week at no.1 on Beatport in 2023. In January 2024 received major support from DSPs for his latest release ‘Don’t Leave’ with Drinks On Me, which has garnered 100k streams in 4 week, he was playlist in 7 editorial playlists including front cover for UK Bass Music. Also in Jan 2024, Badger's edit of the timeless classic “These Words” by Natasha Bedingfield had a major viral moment online (200k streams in the first 4 weeks).
These Words was released on 5th April and in the first 10 days has already racked up > 6.5 millions streams, and is currently inside the UK Top 40. We have an exciting string of releases planned with major labels in the reckoning to partner on Badger’s ever-growing journey as one of the UK’s most exciting new artists.
