bad tuner is the Brooklyn-based DJ and producer who “like Daft Punk before him, takes a simple phrase and builds a world around its incantatory properties” (NPR Music), making music that sounds like “a shot of pure asphalt-scented adrenaline” (KCRW). Today, following the recent announcement of his forthcoming EP look at me but through me (out April 5 via Foreign Family Collective / Ninja Tune), bad tuner is sharing its next single, “repeat to fade,” alongside a music video. Listen to “repeat to fade” here.

“repeat to fade” is anthemic house, its sultry vocals sung back by high-pitched harmonies that move in tandem with a wickedly rhythmic percussive presence and voluminous bass. The vocals feel like outer space, the percussion like a tether to the Earth — “repeat to fade” is a jaunty club track fit for daring to be free on the dance floor.

Watch the “repeat to fade” music video, directed by Patrick Elmore, here.

bad tuner also announces today a string of live dates (see all below), with a headlining set at NYC’s Elsewhere on April 19th. Tickets and more info available here.

Throughout look at me but through me, bad tuner exhibits an intuitive understanding of texture and an indelible style all his own. The EP incorporates unique twists on modern conceptions of UK garage, the sleek and deceptively syncopated productions of the lo-fi house scene, and glitchy hyperpop flourishes. Each of the six tracks embrace entirely eclectic soundscapes, becoming a portal into their individual, wondrous worlds.

On lead track “24 hours,” bad tuner “evokes the acid-soaked sounds of peak era Chemical Brothers, achieving a thrilling, hectic kind of grittiness.” (Billboard) The most recent single, “maybe so,” has its own sublime sonic environment — the track bounces between a sampled Congolese soukous vocal, patterned breakbeat drums, and a repeating bell lead as the intensity evolves into complete chaos.

Having caught an early eye from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong with “Coming Down,” bad tuner’s tracks continue to be spun regularly by tastemaker stations and DJs globally, including KCRW, SiriusXM Chill, Lauren Laverne & Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music), Jeremiah (BBC Radio 1), Ben Malone (Kiss FM UK), Triple J, and RMC. As he sold out Brooklyn’s Elsewhere rooftop in May of last year, bad tuner has also played shows across the US while on tour with the likes of Polo & Pan, TOKiMONSTA, Bon Entendeur, Amtrac, Joy Anonymous, and more. Keeping in good company, his most recent EP, Back to My <3, arrived via the electronic imprint LG105, home to artists like Ross from Friends, Fakear, and Mall Grab.
