Brooklyn-based producer bad tuner is challenging the mold when it comes to forward-thinking dance music.
First catching an early eye from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong with ‘Coming Down’, his tracks continue to be spun regularly by tastemaker stations & DJs globally, including KCRW, KEXP, SiriusXM Chill, Ben Malone (Kiss FM UK), Danny Howard, Jack Saunders, Sian Eleri (BBCR1), Triple J, RMC and others. He also earned three consecutive Zane Lowe World Premiers on his Apple Music One show in 2024.
Having a distinct sound has made tuner stand out brightly in the electronic space and has put him on the map with several leading artists in the dance scene.
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.
Gilligan Moss have cut their teeth as a vital touring act with over 100+ shows on major festivals (Coachella, Electric Forest, Lightning in a Bottle), supporting acts like ODESZA, Glass Animals, Toro y Moi, and most recently as a headline name on the “Speaking 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 BBC1, Sirius XM, Triple J, BBC6, KCRW (s/t LP peaked at #7 on album chart), KEXP, and Capital UK. They’ve collaborated with and done remixes for ODESZA, Glass Animals, Clementine Douglas, and, Sofi Tukker.
Their new project “A La Mode” takes the GM sound on a more experimental-club turn and is due this summer.
