BUKBU

About Me

Formed in 1996 Bukbu were picked up by a leeds based recod label called "Cooker recordings" who were being backed by BMG. Over the next few months a contract was written up and Bukbu were offerred a 5 album deal with a 10k advance but this fell through when BMG pulled out quoting "money problems". Bukbu went on to release 2 singles on vinyl in 2001 on the EP "Night club Classics for disco Dancers". Bukbu released "Falls like Rain" a slow funky flute/piano track and "just Feel it" a full on Dance Funk track. Bukbu have played live gigs in and around leeds and Dj-d in several clubs but are now unsigned again.
