Biography:
Bad Company, Bad Company UK or simply BC (stylized as ƆEIƎC) is the stage name of the English drum and bass record producers Jason Maldini, Michael Wojcicki, Dan Stein, and Darren White.

The abbreviation of the name, ƆEIƎC, is the group’s logo as used on singles and album covers: the letters BC are mirrored on a vertical line (written as the letter I or as the pipe symbol |), whereas the B looks like the number three or letter E and the C like brackets.

The group is known in the drum and bass industry for their 12″ single, “The Nine” / “The Bridge” (BCR001). Bad Company went on to produce four albums and various singles which were acclaimed with similar success.

On 8 February 2016, UKF officially announced that the group was reuniting along with the new material being released that month. They released the single Equilibrium on 25 February 2016. Two performances in Bristol and London followed in March. In June, the group gave two concerts in the United States, Las Vegas for EDC and Baltimore for 3D Productions. They also performed at several festivals, including Dour, Paradiso and Nu Forms. In August, they performed at Imagine Festival in Atlanta. They are scheduled to perform at the New Years festival Northern Bass in New Zealand.

In September 2016, they released a remix of The Prodigy’s “The Day Is My Enemy” which was also uploaded onto UKF’s YouTube page. The remix was nominated for the Drum & Bass Arena Awards in the category Best Remix. The single “Nomad” followed in November.

In April 2018, the group announced their first album in 16 years, Ice Station Zero, which was released at May 11, via Ram Recordings.
