Bad Taste Recordings was founded in 2000 by Bad Company UK as an outlet for their uncompromising, tech-driven vision of drum and bass. The imprint quickly became a benchmark for dark, futuristic sounds, pushing the boundaries of production and dancefloor energy.
Core members of Bad Company, including dBridge, Maldini and DJ Fresh, played a central role in shaping the label’s early output. Their releases carried the same raw intensity that had defined Bad Company’s groundbreaking work, cementing Bad Taste’s reputation as a home for forward-thinking, heavyweight music.
Over the years, Bad Taste Recordings expanded its roster to feature a wide array of cutting-edge producers, while remaining committed to the ethos of experimental, hard-hitting drum and bass. With a catalogue that spans devastating club anthems to intricate, cerebral productions, the label has become a cult institution within the global scene.
Today, Bad Taste Recordings continues to evolve, supporting new generations of artists while maintaining its legacy as a pioneer of dark, boundary-pushing drum and bass.
