Badger revealed as first headliner for Next Gen Pool Party

The unorthodox edit maverick has a date at Ibiza Rocks in May.

Since it launched in 2005, Ibiza Rocks has a history of looking to the future and investing in the stars of tomorrow. That premise is expanded in the new venture Ibiza Rocks presents Next Gen Pool Party, but first a cursory observation of the current state of chart music...

Right now, you're either loving the second coming of Sophie Ellis-Bextor or the constant reloads of Murder On The Dancefloor are driving you insane in a post-Saltburn world. There's no middle ground.

Well, buckle up, because there's more where that came from - and it's coming to Ibiza Rocks.

The infuriatingly catchy pop track first released in 2001, is the latest to be on the end of an edit by the unorthodox Badger.

The fast-rising bedroom producer from Bristol is the man behind a slew of chart favourites being brought right up to date for the modern dancefloor - and no single is safe.

Already commanding a cult following, Badger and his Soundcloud page have clocked up thousands of streams. The edit maverick has retouched notable hits by Kate Nash, Natasha Bedingfield, Blur and even the Vengaboys.

Badger fans rejoice because he's landing at Ibiza Rocks to headline Next Gen Pool Party on 29 May. We don't think it's an understatement to say that could be the surprise package gig of the season.

It's enough to make Barry Koghan dance around naked and shake his appendage to! (Disclaimer: nudity is completely off-limits at poolside)

Badger won't be alone. He's joined by chip off the ol' block Woody Cook in May, who first played at Ibiza Rocks alongside his old man. Then for the June date, fellow West Country upstart Scruz is also involved.

Next Gen Pool Party will also feature established acts. Garage leading ladies Flava D and SHOSH take a date each.

This isn't the only new party at Ibiza Rocks which looks to the future. On Sundays, Soundcloud Presents fills the blanks before and after Ben Hemsley's residency. New wave talents Cassö, DAIRE and Multunes share hosting duties on eight dates outside peak season.
