New signing: Budakid
We are proud to announce another great signing. Together with BMG Talpa we signed Budakid, a Tilburg based music producer/dj.
After two previous releases on MNL, Budakid now makes his debut on the main label Manual Music with a fantastic versatile EP! It includes three brand new originals + additional remixes by David Granha and Tim Engelhardt.
Listen here:
Budakid
Coming from a very musical family, it was only a matter of time before young Budakid started playing an instrument of his own. As a drummer in a drum ensemble, the soon-to-be producer/dj got his first taste of beats and he wanted more.
Having a good sense of rhythm helped him as a fledgling dj. Before long, Budakid landed his first residency in one of Utrecht’s most popular clubs. Although he wasn’t of legal age, several clubs asked him to perform and Budakid showed his promise by measuring up to peers twice his age.
But as it happens with a lot of dj’s, only dj’ing wasn’t enough for his own musical output. So Budakid sought out to prove his worth as a self-taught producer. Influenced by the likes of Todd Terje, Stimming, Jimpster and acts such as Tame Impala, Tycho and Caribou, the Dutchman developed a very melodic style of his own. A typical Budakid song has a funky groove, the right set of chords and some strong, positive vibes all mashed together. All this made him a crowd favorite at festivals like Solar, Indian Summer and Kindergarten and clubs such as Melkweg Amsterdam and Effenaar Eindhoven.
