Budspells
If you follow reggae music and it’s related hybrids in Aotearoa and Australia with any degree of interest, chances are you have probably heard of Budspells from Bondi Beach, Sydney. A strong alliance formed in 2005 with Salmonella Dub and the Dub Conspiracy Music Group which has allowed them to tour extensively and play support at numerous well attended events, quickly building a strong and loyal fan base across both countries with their infectious ragga hip-hop and reggae jungle grooves. What you may not know is that even though Budspells seem like a reasonably new group, core members MC Kye and Ants (producer) both have extensive individual musical histories each stretching back well beyond a decade, and yes…They are both originally from New Zealand. MC Kye hails from Te Awamutu but relocated to Australia fifteen years ago and has spent most of the time since operating out of Bondi Beach, singing with various reggae bands and Australian Hip-Hop groups. During that time he achieved a reasonable degree of success performing as part of Wicked Beat Sound System. Ants is the studio guy and natural musician. He is also a master of Pro-Tools and possesses a huge amount of knowledge in regards to the recording and mixing of music. Ants cut his studio teeth in the UK and spent a substantial period of time living in Wellington working with the likes of Mu (Fat Freddie’s Drop) and The Dental Records crew. He was also a member of Wellington super group ‘Bong Master’. In 2006 Budspells released their EP. – ‘Inna Sences’ on Dub Conspiracy and achieved some notoriety on the New Zealand B.Net through two critical songs. ‘Ruckus’ (a grime influenced excursion) featuring P.Diggsss from Shapeshifter and underground hip-hop banger ‘Feel styles’ featuring Australian Hip-Hop MC Hyjack. Recently MC Kye also featured on the Shapeshifter track ‘ Heat of the moment’ which can be found on their Soulstice LP. Currently Budspells are working towards completion of their debut album “Nomdik Souls”. A dreamy smoked out excursion through all things bass heavy. ‘Nomdik Souls is set to be once again released through the Dub Conspiracy imprint under ‘Ruffage Tunes’, Budspells own record label and music production company. budspells.com
