Badger:
Badger is an underground dance music producer, multi-instrumentalist, and DJ from the UK. Known for his unique and innovative take on UK Garage, Bass House, and Jungle, Badger constantly pushes the boundaries of these genres, keeping audiences on their toes with his adventurous soundscapes. On stage, he’s the ultimate tour guide of dance music, delivering a blend of old-school bangers, fresh hits, and undiscovered gems that captivate listeners.
After graduating from BIMM Bristol in 2019, Badger’s career quickly took off. A playlist of his unreleased productions landed him gigs at top Bristol venues like Motion, Lakota, Loco Club, and Highrise, as well as appearances on local radio station SWU. His early work caught the attention of Marcus Nasty, leading to a guest mix on the renowned Rinse FM.
Badger’s distinct sound eventually reached AC Slater, founder of the LA-based label Night Bass, where he became a regular contributor. His tracks also attracted the attention of Shosh from 24 Hour Garage Girls, which led to a guest mix and interview on Kiss FM. His productions have received consistent airtime on BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, and Reprezent, with Garage legend DJ EZ supporting his tracks on Nuvolve Radio.
Badger’s booking requests have been flooding in. In his first full festival season, he performed at El Dorado, Nass, Secret Garden Party, and Boomtown. His unreleased tracks are regularly featured in the sets of world-renowned DJs like Skream, Interplanetary Criminal, Main Phase, VTSS, Jyoty, and Miley Serious. One of his standout moments was performing his choppy grime remix of We Like to Party live with Vengaboys at El Dorado.
With a constantly evolving sound and an unstoppable work rate, Badger’s performances are filled with never-before-heard tracks. His style ranges from deep, dark 2-step and breaks to 4x4 swing-filled growlers, jungle, drum and bass blends, and complex melodic pieces. His single Backstrap hit number 1 on Beatport in 2023, solidifying his place in the electronic music scene.
Badger’s 2023 has been monumental. He kicked off the year with a DJ residency in the French Alps, followed by performances in Canada and a slew of festival appearances, including a standout set on the Origin Stage at Boomtown. After wrapping up the year with shows in Australia, Badger is set for an even bigger 2024.
