- He continues with Primary Talent International for worldwide bookings outside the US, and with Continua MGMT for global management.

- The signing lands days after his "Agility" release on Bassrush Records and his Apocalypse: Zombieland 2026 set in Long Beach.
Dutch drum & bass innovator Buunshin (Ferry Mellegers) has signed with Good Direction Agency (GDA) for US live music and touring representation, with Brent Tactic as point agent.
The deal shifts his stateside booking business away from Corson Agency, which has stayed busy elsewhere, recently landing Sage Armstrong for North American representation.
Outside the US, Buunshin’s bookings remain with Primary Talent International, and Continua MGMT continues handling his management worldwide.
Since his self-released debut hit #1 on Beatport, Buunshin has built a catalog on Breakbeat Kaos, Mau5trap, and Critical, collaborating with Apashe, What So Not, San Holo, and IMANU, while NOISIA handed him the torch at the close of their own career.
He’s played Printworks, Fabric, Lowlands, and Rampage, and just closed out Apocalypse: Zombieland 2026 in Long Beach alongside Borgore and Sullivan King. His latest single, “Agility,” landed on Bassrush Records in May.
The signing follows GDA’s February pickup of UK bass trio Gentlemens Club, and lands amid a broader electronic-music agency shuffle; Borgeous jumped to CS3 Agency earlier this month, as boutique shops keep out-maneuvering majors for genre-defining talent.
Takeaways
This is less a full team overhaul than a surgical one: Buunshin keeps Continua MGMT and Primary Talent in place and only swaps out the US booking seat.
That’s a calculated, market-specific bet rather than a wholesale rebrand, and it mirrors a pattern playing out across electronic music right now, boutique agencies splitting territories and picking off culture-forward artists one region at a time.
Pairing Buunshin with Gentlemens Club gives GDA two heavyweight bass-music signings in just a few months, a real signal of intent in a lane majors have largely ceded to independents.
Does splitting US and worldwide representation give Buunshin sharper festival routing on each side of the Atlantic? Can GDA’s growing bass-forward roster start punching above its weight against the major agencies in drum & bass specifically?
