G'day folks! In case you haven't heard of him yet, there's this new guy on the scene who goes by the name 'Motna', and he is totally killing at the moment! See for yourself! :D 

https://soundcloud.com/motna/sets/meaning-ep

Alex booked me for a gig on the Isle of Wight a few years back and was one of the first people to book me as Bad Tango. The dude is an absolute legend and his music reflects that, so when he sent me his track 'Meaning' around Christmas of last year I jumped at the chance to remix it! I haven't had this much fun with a remix since 'Welcome To The Future' by Too Dusty. The parts were simply brilliant and as a result the ideas flowed <3

Name your price on bandcamp!

Fletric - Find The Light (Bad Tango Remix) [OUT NOW!]

Hello all! Here we have a collaboration between me and one of my best friends, Toby Burrow aka. Polymetrics. Toby is a professional sound engineer, you wouldn't believe some of the people he's done sound for! Currently he tours internationally with the number 1 selling act Clean Bandit.

Name your price on bandcamp!

https://badtango.bandcamp.com/album/bad-tango-collected-works-2011-2017

This is actually my third collaborative endeavour with Toby, and without a doubt the most successful. Each of the tracks we've made together over the years have been named after the roads we lived on at the time, and this track is no exception.  

We enjoyed making this track immensely, and spent the first few days of the production process playing guitar and getting merry. After two or three days of recording instruments, making sounds and jamming out ideas, I eventually took the project back to my new studio and finished it off a few days later. This track has served me very well as my set opener for some time, and has always set the mood perfectly for whats to come. 

Both Toby and I would love to hear your thoughts on it, so check it out and let us know what you think :)

Cheers guys, enjoy! x

Bad Tango & Polymetrics - At The Edge [OUT NOW!]

Yo yo! I'm seriously glad to finally be sharing this track with you, it took an exceptionally long time to write. This is the A-side to my next EP for Broken Robot Records, and has been my end of set track for some time. I really tried to push my knowledge of sound design to the limits during it's making and in the process learned a whole bunch of techniques that i'd simply be lost without. 

Name your price on bandcamp!

https://badtango.bandcamp.com/album/bad-tango-collected-works-2011-2017

Anyway I could ramble about this track until the cows come home, so let me know what you guys think :)

Bad Tango - Cortex [OUT NOW!]

G'day! I am elated to finally be sharing with you my remix of Hedflux's 2012 track 'Diversion'. This remix has been through ALOT of different permutations over the course of its creation. I knew I wanted to do something slightly out of the norm with the parts, but wasn't sure what until i'd made about 4 different variants of the same track, and eventually glued my favourite parts together. 

Hedflux - Diversion (Bad Tango Remix) is now available from Bandcamp: https://luminusmusic.bandcamp.com/album/hedflux-remixed-part-1

This is my first ever remix for Steve, it was such a pleasure to remix the man that got me started on this kind of music. He originally asked me to have a crack at 'Mindcell', but I wimped out haha.

This remix will be coming out on Hedflux's very own label, (LUMINUS) as part of the Hedflux Remixed series. There's some seriously cool remixes to come from some of the best producers around, so i'm psyched to be a part of it.

Anyhoo, let me know what you guys think and if you're feeling it then spread the word!

Hedflux - Diversion (Bad Tango Remix)[OUT NOW!]

Hi folks, 

check out this sample of my next release, this one's called 'Omnia'. Omnia is a Latin word, roughly translated it means 'everything', seemed relevant given the vocal sample. I made this track quite some time ago, i'm glad to see it finally coming out! 

This track will be released tomorrow (22nd December 2014), on the mighty Liquid Records as part of the Liquid/Noisily compilation. I highly recommend checking out the other tracks on the EP, some of the best psychedelic artists in the world on one release.

Name your price on bandcamp!

https://badtango.bandcamp.com/album/bad-tango-collected-works-2011-2017

So have a listen and let me know what you think, and if you dig it then please share it far and wide! 

Happy holidays to all,

Bad Tango - Omnia [OUT NOW!]

Hello all! Here we have a cheeky little glitch hop number I did for Atomic Drop guys. It's a big pleasure to remix something by them, as I was a huge fan of their early breaks stuff back in the day. In fact i've included a couple of there old tunes in some of my more recent promo mixes. Anyhoo, this is the first glitch hop track i've written in years and will most likely be the start of more to come. I really hope you all enjoy it, please share if it's ticking the right boxes for you and be sure to check out the other remixes on Atomic Drops Apocolypto remix album. There's some seriously good music on there! :D

Atomic Drop - Spook (Bad Tango Remix) [OUT NOW]

Yoyoyo! Positively thrilled to be sharing with you this remix for Hedflux's classic breaks track, 'Non Stop'. It feels super weird to have remixed this tune, as when I first started getting into this kind of music, this was one of my absolute favourites. So it's nothing short of an honour to have been given the opportunity to remix something so close to my heart.

I tried not to stray too far from the original groove, as for me that groove is what makes this track. And I know that a fair few people have a similar relationship with this track to that of my own, so I truly hope i've done it justice. There's only one way to find out, so have a listen and if it doesn't make you want to tear your own ears off, then leave a comment and spread the word :)

Hedflux - Non Stop (Bad Tango Remix) [OUT NOW!]

Yo! Check out this cheeky remix I did for Spanish psy-breaks maestro, Frequency Less. I’ve been meaning to do something for Sub Element for quite some time, but have been so busy cracking on with life and other musical endeavours that it’s taken me ages to actually get around to it. So when they sent me the Travel remix pack I was all over it, plus at that point i’d recently finished renovating the studio, so couldn’t wait to get cracking on something in there. This was actually the first track I finished with my new setup, it taught me about the sound of my room and helped me adjust to both the sub and the acoustic treatment. Also this was the first track i’d managed to finish in less than a week for years! Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, and as always spread the love if you do :)

Frequency Less - Travel (Bad Tango Remix) [OUT NOW!]

Hello all! It’s been a while since my last release, so i’m sorry it’s taken so long to get this EP together. This one’s been on the back burner for a short while, and was the track I used to open my sets for quite some time. I’m truly elated to be sharing it with you now, with lots of new music to come in 2018 this EP marks the dawning of a new musical horizon for me. 

The 'Gene Sequence EP' is now available to buy through Bandcamp:

http://badtango.bandcamp.com/album/bad-tango-neurodriver-freq-less-gene-sequence-ep

This track will be accompanied by not only a astonishingly good remix by none other than the remarkably talented Frequency Less, but it’ll also be joined by my first collaborative effort with Broken Robot head honcho and close friend, Neurodriver. So I hope you enjoy the tune, this EP will be available through my very own Bandcamp as well as the Broken Robot Bandcamp page very soon. Updates to follow! 

As always if you like it then comment, spread the word and most importantly do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight.

Much love,

Hedflux & Bad Tango - Slippery Triplet [OUT NOW!]

Hello all! 

Here's a remix I did recently for Spanish tech-breaks producer Too Dusty. 

Name your price on bandcamp!

https://badtango.bandcamp.com/album/bad-tango-collected-works-2011-2017

His style is pretty freakin awesome and he's been getting a lot of attention recently for producing heavy hitting breaks tracks with crazy sound design and the original to this is no exception. So when I was asked to do the remix I didn't pay any attention to what the track was called, I just heard a sample and pretty much accepted it straight away. It was only a month or so later when I started the remix that I realised what it was called and thought "Oh shit, 'Welcome to the future'... If i screw this remix up then the future's not going to sound that great" ;)  

So I did my best and evan gave it a 4 to the floor break down in the middle, which is something I haven't done in years! Anyway, i'm ranting a bit now... I really hope you guys enjoy It, if you do then please share and leave comments and what not :)

Cheers!
Will

Untangled Everything

Globular - For The Time Being (Bad Tango Remix)[OUT NOW!]

Hi all, it's been some time since I shared a mix of any kind with you, and with the current pandemic it seems that people could do with music to listen to at home now more than ever. 

So i've recorded this epic three hour long mix to help these long days of self isolation pass that little bit quicker. This mix is a celebration of all things psychedelic and journeys through a great many of the alternative styles and tempos our sector of music has to offer, including Glitch Hop, Psy Chill, Dub, Techno, Progressive, Breakbeat etc and showcases a variety of my favourite tracks past and present from friends and artists the world over.

I hope this mix finds you and your loved ones in good health, stay safe and i'll see you all when the storm passes.

Will

Long story short, I gave away one of my first breaks tracks for free a few years ago, it was called 'Beneath The Surface', and a fair few people over the last few months have asked wether or not i'd make something similar again. So I decided to try and write another liquidy chill out breaks track, because at heart i'm a big soppy git.

I really hope you guys enjoy this track as much as I enjoyed making it, this is my contribution towards your summer so please share if you're feeling it ^-^

Muchos lovage and stuff,

Bad Tango - June 2013 Promo Mix

Hi all, been a while since my last release so it brings me great pleasure to be able to share with you this single track for my good friends at Wobbly Records. 

The Wobbly records guys have been unbelievably good to me over the years and i've played for them countless times. They even organised my album launch party! So when they asked if I had anything I could contribute to their next compilation it would have been rude to say no! Their remit for the compilation was 'techy' haha, so i tried my best to make this track in keeping with the techno and minimal vibes they were going for. Plus this track will be released on vinyl alongside some of the best producers out there, having an actual record printed is a first for me so that's very exciting. 

Anyway I really hope you guys enjoy it, the compilation is now available from Bandcamp:

Bad Tango is the electronic music project of UK based producer Will Railton.

Will was first established in the Psychedelic Breakbeat & Tech-Funk genres following his debut release in January 2011. After topping download charts with a string of successful releases on a variety of labels, he was quickly scooped up by forward thinking UK label Broken Robot, where he continued to help pioneer the Psy Breaks genre alongside the likes of Hedflux and ex-Far Too Loud member, Neurodriver.

In October 2018, following two International Breakbeat Award nominations, a long track record of global bookings and a multitude of auspicious EP’s, remixes and collaborations, Will released his first full length studio album ‘ILK’. A self released album, ‘ILK’ reached the top of the Bandcamp download charts over multiple categories in a matter of days and redefined the Bad Tango project as a hub of multi genre experimentation.

With support from globally renowned artists such as Gaudi, Headroom, Grouch, Kaya Project, OOOD, Globular, Slack Baba, Kuba and many more, Will has firmly entrenched himself within todays underground electronic music culture. 

His dedication to delivering fresh, distinctive dance music, high quality DJ sets and live performances has established Bad Tango as one of the front runners in our ever evolving music scene.
