Buba King
In 2003

DJ Buba & Jason King were sent to prison for music crimes they didnt commit.
They promptly escaped from a commerical seaside town to the breakbeat underground.
Today still wanted by the public, they survive as DJs of fortune
If you have a party, if none else can help, and if you can find them
Maybe you can hire.... BUBAKING!

The EPIC story of BUBAKING.

Starting life as a friendship supplying a few dodgy white ones over the counter of their local record store (white labels of course), The breakbeat equivalent of little & large have not looked back with infamous Mix Cds, Radio 1 Minimix for Annie Mac, Burgers & Beats Radio Show, Cheeky Booties and a string of festival appearances. Have It Their Way!

Buba started playing in the Bigbeat and speed garage days of 96, his style fuses Hiphouse & Breakbeats with a cheeky old skool twist! As well as hosting his own shows on Bournemouths K1-FM, he is a regular fav on the south coast circuit spinning breaks & beats along side classic dance tracks.

Eclectic is perhaps the wrong word to describe Jasons DJ style, he grew up on blockparty and daisy age Hiphop, James Brown and Bigbeat.
His sets are a mashup of Hiphop, Funk, Breakbeat with retro soundtracks and DnB.
His 4yr + Residency at The Consortium (Bournemouth) was testament and secured his imfamous reputation! Self-confessing to owning one of the best and worst record collections of many, He has no morals and will try to get away with anything, Cut n paste style!

King, already choice resident for Rogue Beats introduced Buba into the frame, a Mix tape and swift handshake saw him too enlisted on the roster.

Predominantly rocking the crowds in their own unique styles, one alcohol-fuelled night led the two to join arms. Having never practiced together, working 4 decks and 2 cd players across 2 mixers proved no problem, there was an instant click and BubaKing was born!!!
Djing alongside high profile acts including Freddy Fresh, Coldcut, Freq Nasty, Stanton Warriors and the Plump DJs to name a few, The duo have built up an infamous reputation (and fanbase) tearing the house down throughout London, Brighton, Southampton, Bristol and their Bournemouth Hometown.

Their debut Mix CD Cake Mix was regarded by many as an essential must have item and has touched all corners of the globe, not to mention the copious amounts forced fed to the breakbeat community.Breakspotters should also checkout Cutting Tha Cake, Let Um Eat Cake and their recent
More Horn, Less Yawn! opus

The Guys have had a string of festival appearances including Glade, Waveform and Life (Ireland). The duo have also started to produce their own tasty mashups and edits together with numerous cheeky booties doing the rounds of Tori Amos, Trumpton and Even Dire Straits.They have plenty more tricks up their sleeves as they hone their studio skills and venture into original material

People watch out, they are no warm-up act!, standback and light the torch paper!
