Brooklyn-based producer bad tuner is challenging the mold of forward-thinking dance music.

First catching the attention of BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong with Coming Down, bad tuner has continued to earn support from tastemaker stations and DJs around the world, including KCRW, KEXP, SiriusXM Chill, Ben Malone (Kiss FM UK), Danny Howard, Jack Saunders, Sian Eleri (BBC Radio 1), Triple J, and RMC. In 2024, he also received three consecutive Zane Lowe World Premieres on Apple Music 1.

His fresh sound has translated seamlessly to the live stage, where bad tuner has built a reputation for his distinctive and energetic DJ sets. Alongside multiple North American headline tours, he has shared bills with artists including Polo & Pan and Joy Anonymous, while recent national support runs with Tycho and BAYNK have further cemented his place among electronic music’s rising names.

bad tuner kicked off 2026 with his lately in the void EP and is set to release his next project, forever love, alongside a run of summer shows later this year.

Ben and Evan met in preschool in Chicago at age three. The music they make is joyful & built on a love of dance music and a wide range of influences. Their music has been streamed more than 100 million streams, it’s meant to be fun & crack a smile – on a walk, at home, or at a club. They have cut their teeth as a vital touring act with over 100+ shows on major festivals (supporting acts like ODESZA, Glass Animals, Toro y Moi, and most recentlu as a headline name on the “Coachella, Electric Forest, Lightning in a BottleSpeaking Across Time” tour.

They have released 2x EP’s through UMG/Vigin to warm reviews, and their 2x LPs since (“Gilligan Moss” and “Speaking Across Time”) were both widely celebrated on streaming and by radio Capital UK. They’ve collaborated with and done remixes for BBC1, Sirius XM, Triple J, BBC6, KCRWODESZA, Glass Animals, Clementine Douglas (s/t LP peaked at #7 on album chart), KEXP, and Sofi Tukker.

Their new project “A La Mode” takes the GM sound on a more experimental-club turn and is due this summer.
