BadKlaat, the stage name of UK-based producer and DJ Adam James, has officially signed with Corson Agency for North American live music and touring representation. Agent Brian Lachman will oversee his bookings across the territory.
Outside North America, BadKlaat remains represented by NYUMA. He was previously represented in North America by Prysm Talent Agency, the Detroit-founded boutique agency that has been building its bass music roster since 2019.
Hailing from Gloucestershire, UK, BadKlaat built his reputation on Never Say Die Records, with landmark releases including “Head Crush” and “Knuckle Sandwich.” tracks widely regarded as cornerstones of the modern dubstep sound. He has consistently toured North America, including a headline appearance at MAYHAM 2025 in Dallas alongside YOOKiE.
The move to Corson Agency fits a clear pattern for the agency in the bass music world. The Los Angeles-based firm recently signed dubstep artist Ossien and hardstyle act Riot for North American representation.
Founded in 2008, Corson Agency has carved out a strong foothold in the US EDM touring market.
Takeaways
This signing is a clear signal that BadKlaat is ready to level up his North American touring game. Corson Agency isn’t just picking up clients, they’re actively building a bass music portfolio that spans dubstep, riddim, and beyond.
With Brian Lachman already having strong ties in the bass music scene from his previous work, the pairing makes a lot of sense.
Meanwhile, keeping NYUMA for global territories gives BadKlaat a dual-agency infrastructure that mirrors what many touring international acts now prefer, specialized regional representation over a one-size-fits-all deal.
Could this signing push BadKlaat onto bigger North American festival stages like Lost Lands or EDC in the near term? Is Corson Agency positioning itself as the go-to home for bass music acts touring North America?
