"If you want to judge the morality of a people, listen to his music." Confucius

Veteran DJ/producer King Shameek has been putting it down for more than two decades. The New Jersey native first came to prominence in 1989 as the DJ for the group Twin Hype, and later appeared on records with classic artists such as Naughty By Nature, T La Rock, King Sun, Sweet Sensation & Lisette Melendez among others. Touring over the years gave Shameek the opportunity to share the stage and DJ booths around the world with the likes of Queen Latifah, Jazzy Jef & the Fresh Prince, EPMD, Digital Underground, Jay-Z, Chris Brown, Bow Wow, Trey Songz, Just Blaze and Funk Master Flex to name a few. 

In the early 80s (before Twin Hype fame), a young King Shameek living in the Bay Area ran around town with Sway & Tech (Wake Up Show), KutMasta Kurt and Peanut Butter Wolf (Stones Throw), a few friends who also made their mark in the hip hop game. "I was first introduced to hip hop while living in Cali" says Shameek. "Collecting hip hop records since Rappers Delight, and taking trips back to Jersey/NY in search of hard to find records that eventually helped me land guest appearances on radio stations like KUSP in Santa Cruz and KZSU at Standford University." 

These days, when Shameek is not producing tracks, creating remixes or mashups he is still going strong and can be heard in clubs from the east to the west coast and via his weekly internet classic mix show called 'Down with the King" on DWildMusicRadio.com. On his downtime Shameek also enjoys working on mashups which DJs love to spin.

BUDD , a Birmingham native, may already have a string of aliases and achievements under his belt,
but the relentless hype from dance floors and DJs worldwide is proving that the powerhouse
productions coming from his BUDD persona are truly the work of a man on the way to the top of his
game.
With over a decade in the shadows, ghost-writing, touring (playing drums & percussion) and
soundtracking TV and Film, his new project highlights all of the strings in his bow. It’s now time for
BUDD to step out of those proverbial shadows and cement his name as a major force in the
electronic world.
BUDD’s productions are driven by melody, encompassing the full spectrum of progressive house,
from deep and dreamy to goliath sized anthems. BUDD’s added twist incorporates 80’s inspired
undertone’s. Often compared with heavyweight luminaries such as Pryda and Deadmau5, BUDD’s
productions have seen releases on respected labels like Toolroom, Blackhole, cr2, Armada and
Zerothree. BUDD’s notoriety is rising rapidly, gaining high profile support from Pete Tong on BBC
Radio 1 as well as regular love from Gareth Emery and Above & Beyond who welcomed him to
guestmix on their Group therapy Radio whilst showcasing numerous releases. DJ mag dubbed
“Magnetic Souls” as one of their songs of the summer in 2016, whilst ‘Idlewylde’ was heavily used to
promote EDC 2017 in Las Vegas across all of it’s socials.
BUDD is the inimitable vision of a man who has nurtured his own sound, melancholic and
understated – a must listen for 2017, a year that will see him put his sound above the parapet with a
plethora of releases and some phenomenal live shows.
