Greetings and thank you for visiting. Bad Advice Inc. is the brain child of Chicago's Nate Manic and longtime Madison, WI friend Matt Martin. It is a result of many years of desert partying, irresponsible behavior, connection-making, jet-setting, friendship-cementing, long sweaty nights filled with Jameson, dozens of sunrises and, in the end, a healthy dose of our taking our own bad advice. Founded in July 2007, our goal is simply to help our electronic music culture make a return to the days of good music, good times and carefree abandon. Our music is all original, no bootlegs, no old disco/funk samples and spans many different genres including Downtempo, House, Breaks, Electro, Tech House, Trip Hop and IDM. Our goal, simply, is to provide a prolific and eclectic catalog featuring some of the best producers and artists that are out there, all while remembering why we got into this scene in the first place... to dance our asses off and have some fun!
THE MUSIC

BAM 001, the North by Midwest EP, which features 3 tech-break-Electro tracks by label owner
