Los Angeles producer LEAF crafts low-end architecture for the serious listener. Rooted in the UK bass tradition and shaped by 140 and hip-hop, his music is a precise, immersive study in sub-frequency — designed for soundsystems and built to last.
Badman Studios
Twelve EPs since 2016. Every single one charted in Beatport’s Top 100. Along the way, the catalog has drawn support from Truth, J:Kenzo, and N-Type — three of the most respected voices in the global bass underground.
Our Artists
With a roster of over 12 international artists — including bass music heavyweight DJ Madd — Badman Studios operates as both a label and a platform for the underground’s most serious voices.
Our Releases
A total of 12 soul rattling sound-system ready EP’s have been released after Badman Studios was founded in 2016.
From the first to the last, each release has charted on Beatport’s top 100 and has been supported by industry leading artists such as Truth, J: Kenzo, N-Type.
Our Live Shows
LEAF’s live sets are built around dubplates — acetate-cut records carrying unreleased music from the Badman Studios roster. Unlike commercial vinyl, acetate degrades with each play, giving every record a lifespan of around 30 performances. What that limitation produces is twofold: a fidelity ceiling that no digital format touches, and a live experience that is, in the truest sense, irreplaceable. Every show is one play closer to silence.
