Budakid

Budakid is a Berlin based music producer/dj,. 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, Trentemøller and acts such as Tame Impala, Tycho and Caribou, the Dutchman developed a very melodic style of his own. A typical Budakid song has floating melodies, the right set of chords and some strong, energetic vibes all mashed together. All this made him a crowd favorite at festivals like Sonar 🇪🇸, Boothstock and Ultrasonic and clubs such as Katerblau 🇩🇪, Sisyphos 🇩🇪 and Thuishaven.

His music has been already supported by heavyweights such as Sasha, Agoria, Einmusik, Guy J, Steve Bug and Lexer. That's something that didn't happen overnight. Budakid's tracks have been released on respected labels like Einmusika, Get Physical, Audiomatique and Great stuff recordings. Well-known blogs and magazines including Deep House Amsterdam, FAZE Magazine, Purple Sneakers and VICE's Thump are very enthusiastic about the producer's tracks. So it's safe to say Budakid isn't just another kid on the block. Already regarded as a more than reliable producer/dj by his peers, nothing stands in the way of Budakid to become one of the greats.
