LOADING BREAKS...
1BadBadams is a Perth-based DJ and producer associated with contemporary breakbeat and bass music in Western Australia. Working across club-ready breaks with a clear rave impulse, the project sits in the newer wave of artists keeping broken-beat energy active in local and online circuits.
The name has appeared in connection with Perth’s club ecosystem as both a selector and producer. That local grounding matters: the city has long sustained its own dance-music networks, and 1BadBadams belongs to a strand of artists translating that environment into a modern breakbeat language.
As a DJ, 1BadBadams has been linked to sets that move through beat-driven styles with an emphasis on low-end pressure and rhythmic impact. The approach suggested by the project’s public presence is broad in taste but centered on breaks and bass, with a feel that connects old-school rave references to current club functionality.
The producer side of the project has developed in parallel, with releases circulating through digital platforms including Beatport. Rather than presenting breakbeat as a retro exercise, 1BadBadams works within a contemporary framework where punchy drums, bass weight and direct dancefloor momentum remain the core priorities.
A useful snapshot of that DJ identity is the RTRFM guest mix for Trainwreck, where 1BadBadams appeared in a radio context tied to Perth’s independent music culture. That kind of appearance places the project within a community-facing circuit where club music, specialist radio and local scene-building overlap.
The project has also been visible in event lineups around Perth, including support duties in a breakbeat setting at Si Paradiso Basement. Those appearances reinforce 1BadBadams’ place in a live club network rather than a purely online profile.
Stylistically, the music is best understood through the meeting point of breakbeat drive, bass-music weight and rave-minded energy. The emphasis is less on genre purism than on impact: tracks and sets alike point toward a practical dancefloor sensibility.
That balance between DJ culture and production is central to the project’s identity. 1BadBadams represents the kind of artist for whom local club support, radio exposure and digital release platforms all feed the same trajectory.
Within the wider breakbeat map, 1BadBadams belongs to a contemporary generation operating outside the traditional UK-Spain axis while still drawing from that vocabulary. In the Australian context, that makes the project part of an ongoing international afterlife for breakbeat as a flexible, club-tested form.
The result is a profile rooted in Perth but connected to broader bass and breaks culture: a working DJ-producer presence shaped by local parties, guest mixes and a sound built for movement.
