Budakid makes his debut on Adriatique’s Siamese label with the heartfelt ‘Freedom’ EP, showcasing his own vocals alongside a remix by Patrice Bäumel. 

The ‘Freedom’ original mix dives into the theme of freedom, something we all deserve but must continually work to protect and honour. Patrice Bäumel’s remix brings his distinctive touch while preserving the original’s emotional depth. 

With this release, Budakid delivers a striking blend of emotion and rhythm, making ‘Freedom’ a defining moment in his artistic journey. 

Budakid’s attitude is friendly and relaxed, a go-with-the-flow character whose ambitions lie within finding the capacity to continue creating without restrictions. It’s a simple, yet profoundly effective mission statement, which feeds back into his work and generates joy and solace for Budakid and all those who encounter his productions. A consummate DJ and musician, who epitomises the beauty of music as an artform that expresses the full spectrum of the human experience. This enjoyment factor, uncorrupted by commercial pressures, permeates into his productions, imbuing them with pure emotion. 

With releases signed to labels such as his own Flores label, plus Watergate, Permanent Vacation, Diynamic, All Day I Dream, Last Night On Earth, and Lost & Found, Amsterdam born Budakid has established a reputation for deep and moving compositions that invigorate the dance floor.
