Bad Company is the stage name of drum and bass producers Jason Maldini, Darren White (D Bridge), Dan Stein (Fresh) and Michael Wojicky (Vegas).

They formed in 1999 from the ashes of Renegade Hardware act Future Forces.

The group is well known in the drum and bass circuit for their 12" single: The Nine / the Bridge (BCR001). Bad Company went on to produce four LPs and various singles which were acclaimed with similar success, most notably was "The Book of Bad" LP (2000) which had the crowd and dj favorites "Miami Flashback", "Planet Dust", and "Mind Games". Today, however, the group is somewhat dissolved. Dan Stein (Fresh) had left Bad Company to pursue several solo projects under different labels like: Ram Recordings, Breakbeat Kaos, V-Recordings and Valve. Darren White continues to produce under the name D-Bridge, Jason Maldini and Michael Wojicky under Maldini and Vegas, respectively. 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.
