His ten-release deal with the Defected group has kept him active in the studio, with recent output including <em>Bolt\/Trent<\/em> on <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/doc-martin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Doc Martin<\/a>&#8216;s Sublevel Music imprint and <em>Push The Rope<\/em> on Nervous Records, all while collaborating and remixing alongside Carl Cox, Archie Hamilton, and Darius Syrossian. A brand-new album is also in the pipeline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the live front, Bushwacka! is confirmed across Asia and Europe in 2026, with regular appearances at Refuge in Brooklyn and a slot in the stacked Pikes Presents lineup at 528 Ibiza, a residency entering its tenth year, running Tuesdays from May 26 to October 6 alongside the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/bonobo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bonobo<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/fatboy-slim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fatboy Slim<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move mirrors NGE&#8217;s recent acquisition strategy. The agency <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/alex-culross-signs-with-nge-booking-for-global-representation-excluding-north-south-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">signed Alex Culross for global representation excluding North and South America<\/a> earlier this year, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/di-chiara-brothers-sign-with-nge-booking-for-worldwide-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brought the Di Chiara Brothers on board for worldwide representation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond touring, Bushwacka! has spent the past year constructing The Mothership, a state-of-the-art Dolby Atmos studio, which is set to power his next chapter of productions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 30 years into a career shaped by the London Acid House explosion, his role in the legendary duo Layo &amp; Bushwacka!, and four artist albums alongside landmark residencies at The End, 2026 is shaping up to be one of his most active years yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signing is a clear signal that Bushwacka! is entering a new, structured phase of his international career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NGE Booking doesn&#8217;t typically sign artists without clear touring demand, and the territory carve-out, keeping the Americas separate, suggests existing representation or deal structures are already in play there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a smart move: NGE gives him a European-facing infrastructure at a time when his live schedule is genuinely packed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does a new album + new agency + new studio in the same year mark the biggest strategic reset of Bushwacka!&#8217;s solo career? Does the Pikes Ibiza tenth-year milestone signal a Layo &amp; Bushwacka! reunion push in 2026? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bushwacka!, the veteran London DJ and producer born Matthew Benjamin, has officially signed with NGE Booking for global live music and touring representation, excluding North and South America.
