Bad Company UK are a collective consisting of Jason Maldini, Darren White (aka D-Bridge), Dan Stein (aka DJ Fresh) and Michael Wojicky (aka Vegas). They were originally called Bad Company but the UK was (unofficially) added to avoid confusion with the group of the same name.

Bad Company UK burst onto the drum and bass scene in 1999 with the the dnb anthem ‘The Nine’. This lead to releases on Grooveriders prototype recordings and eventually a debut album ‘Inside the Machine’ released on their own label BC recordings. The album went down well for its dark, haunting basslines and its tight production. Bad Company kept on putting in the hours in the studio, releasing many big tunes such as ‘planet dust’, ‘mo fire’ and ‘the hornet’ as well as releasing a further 3 albums ‘Digital Nation’, ‘Book of the Bad’ and ‘Shot Down on Safari’. They were one of the leading names in the drum and bass scene and even featured in NME magazine, but instead of aiming to become commercially succesful, they chose instead to fuel the underground drum and bass scene.

However, in 2003 the group decided to go their separate ways, with DJ Fresh and D Bridge deciding to produce independantly and Vegas and Maldini continuing to work under the name Bad Company.

    "and besides, aren't they both from the UK?!" I can be from India and name my band "Rock Band Russia". Get my point? It's a name, it doesn't represent where they come from.And actually, they are also called Bad Company on their past albums because they only changed their name lately. But I agree the admins should do something about it, even though Bad Company UK is now their official name and they hold absolutely no rights to the Bad Company name now, their records were still recorded under the name Bad Company.

    haha i just saw this page... wtf is this dumb shit? i understand the band are much more famous, but change my tags because last.fm's admin team weren't smart enough to realise multiple artists might share the same name? haha hell no. all they'd have to do is add a little function that directs scrobbling to the correct artist via the song/album name. not one of my vinyls says "Bad Company UK", so none of my tags do either. and besides, aren't they both from the UK?!

    No offense to anyone (this is seriously just some information), but Bad Company is actually a pretty huge band. Their last new release was in 1987, but they're still a big band. I'm kind of surprised that this band didn't know about them.

    ''The remainder of the group, now known as "Bad Company UK" because they had a legal battle over the name as there was a band in the 70's also called Bad Company, consists of Maldini and Wojicky.''

    Haha, "it aint like that the rock band sold any copys of there albums in a significant number" sorry to break it to you but the rock band is a lot more well known than Fresh etc. While I don't listen to the rock band and love Bad Company "UK", making shit up doesn't achieve anything ;p
