Heavy on the beats + the bass it’s doomy but joyful – experimental mashups of psychedelic techno, futuristic beats, baile funk, & industrial that you can dance to. Spring 2025 saw debut ‘duumtape vol 1’ released via bandcamp which was followed by a UK Summer tour with Snapped Ankles. August 2026 saw the release of duümtape vol 2, an EP that upped the tempo & expanded the bada duüm sound more into club territory. 'Chopped rhythms like stampeding stallions across the tundra. electronic howling to summon the Gods’ – Contrails Zine ‘bass heavy beats and bleeps and it moves around enough to keep it interesting. gets higher pitched and then drops into dub madness’ – Fighting Boredom  https://badaduum.bandcamp.com/ https://www.instagram.com/badaduummusic/ https://www.youtube.com/@badaduumtv LEE ASHCROFT  “Moody beats for a post-lockdown hellscape. Contains theremin.” “Mournful bass, synth washes and lethargic rhythms, born from anguish, leading to hope.” https://onemanunderground.bandcamp.com/ NUKLEOPATRA Poignant lyrics take aim at tech corporations, the fossil fuel industry, and social media, crafting a soundtrack for the impending apocalypse inspired by industrial, hyperpop, and hiphop. Colchester's own doomsday prepper princess combines sampling and songwriting for a set of tightly produced techno-pessimist bangers. https://nukleopatra.bandcamp.com/
