Kyle Kidd), \u201cI\u2019ve Been All Alone\u201d and \u201cLights Down (Fast Lane)\u201d<\/strong> with <strong>Scrufizzer<\/strong> are set to drop, delivering fans what they&#8217;ve been patiently craving amongst the viral edits and remixes he&#8217;s become renowned for since his rise.<\/p>\n<p>This new EP explores everything from house, UKG, drum and bass, and bass music, a body of work that is unapologetically Badger.<strong> &#8220;House Music Is for Nerds&#8221;<\/strong> is a playful yet authentic throwback to 90s house, anchored by a driving four-on-the-floor kick and classic hi-hat patterns, the track nods unapologetically to warehouse rave culture, chunky basslines, punchy snares, soulful vocals and euphoric synth stabs.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile<strong>, &#8220;I&#8217;ve Been All Alone&#8221;<\/strong> is a deeply atmospheric piece that fuses UK garage rhythms with lo-fi electronic textures built around a fragmented, melancholic vocal loop, conjuring feelings of isolation and late-night solitude. Broken patterns of 2-step and ambient crackle slowly layering dreamlike elements that ebb and fade with emotional subtlety. Wrapping up the EP,<strong> \u201cLights Down (Fast Lane)&#8221;<\/strong> is an explosive blend of UK bassline, drum and bass and grime that hits with immediate energy. Scrufizzer\u2019s fast, clipped flow slices through Badger\u2019s production with razor-sharp delivery, bouncing atop warped basslines, snappy snares, and jittery hi-hats. Built for dark rooms and loud speakers, it&#8217;s a confident, high-octane cut that thrives on movement and intensity, perfectly tuned for the fast lane.<\/p>\n<p>Badger\u2019s rise has been nothing short of explosive. In under a year, he\u2019s gone from dropping SoundCloud edits to selling out headline shows across the UK, US, Australia, and New Zealand. With over<strong> 170 million streams<\/strong> to his name, a<strong> UK Top 40 hit<\/strong>, and a silver-certified <strong>remix of Natasha Bedingfield\u2019s &#8220;These Words&#8221;,<\/strong> he\u2019s firmly established himself as a credible force in dance music beyond his viral social media roots. Yet his flair for social media continues to thrive, with viral tracks like <strong>&#8220;In My Room&#8221; r<\/strong>acking up over 17 million organic views, and approvals from the likes of <strong>Ellie Goulding and Chloe Burrows<\/strong> only adding fuel to the fire.<\/p>\n<p>Known for transforming late-night musings into club-ready bangers and reimagining nostalgic pop into anthemic floor-fillers, Badger\u2019s instinct for dancefloor magic is second to none. His genre-blending sound has landed him coveted festival slots at <strong>Glastonbury, Boomtown, Coachella and Reading &amp; Leeds<\/strong>, along with studio collaborations with artists like<strong> Icona Pop, Julia Wolf, and Tinie Tempah<\/strong>. On a high from <strong>Glastonbury<\/strong> last month, he played in S<strong>hangri-La on the new Luna stage<\/strong>, as well as making surprise pop up appearances across the weekend including<strong> &#8216;The Bug&#8217; in Arcadia.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Blending genre fusion, nostalgia, and cultural awareness with an infectious personality, <strong>Badger<\/strong> has struck a global chord through viral moments and a standout social presence who is now recognised first and foremost for his music. He\u2019s teased upcoming collaborations with<strong> Michael Dapaah<\/strong> and <strong>Tinie Tempah<\/strong>, and his forthcoming summer project continues that mission, paying tribute to his underground roots with original productions and fresh collaborations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For more information on <strong>Badger<\/strong> please visit:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/badger_music_maker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/badger_music_maker\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/Badgermusicartist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/Badgermusicartist<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@badger_music_maker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@badger_music_maker<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c&#8230;five frenzied club tools with bags of personality\u201d &#8211; DJ Mag UK BUY \u2018LET\u2019S \u2018AV IT RIGHT!\u2019 HERE Following on from two recent singles including &#8220;Afters&#8221; with Comma Dee and Danny Graft as well as &#8220;Sweet&#8221; with footballer Chelcee Grimes, UK dance music trailblazer and genre bender Badger now gets set to release his debut [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":78493,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17619,3972],"tags":[20151],"class_list":["post-78492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music-london","category-news-london","tag-badger"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/70"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78492"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78492\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78496,"href":"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78492\/revisions\/78496"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
