With their ethos of creation, connection, and intersection, gbd’s sets and original productions merge politics and spirituality with the Jack of the midwestern dance music canon.
Emerging from the Midwestern American underground dance music scene, gbd has made a name for themselves over the past decade. Born and raised in Michigan, their journey began in Chicago's Smart Bar, and their passion for creating meaningful and imaginative experiences for their audience has taken them around the world. Their unique approach to creating a fair and inclusive environment in dance music has garnered them respect and admiration that belies any social circles or hierarchy. In 2023 they changed their artist name from Savile to gbd - marking a new beginning in their artistic journey and a continued commitment to unearthing dance musics' deepest sounds.
