Tristan Townsend (Butch le Butch)
Butch & Bud are in love.....with their music that is.House music.From funk to disco, dub to vocal, from deep to uplifting. The past few years have seen the boys honing their skills in a variety of clubs, parties & scenes, both here in Australia & overseas. And whilst clubs may come 'n go, Butch & Bud have proved they have staying power. Currently playing residencies @ some of Melbourne's coolest clubs, the boys are becoming known for their consistency & versatility. They're equally @ home behind the decks @ a warehouse party @ the docks, as they are in an intimate space, providing groove & atmosphere.A tag team duo, Butch & Bud compliment each other in the style of deep dish, or Jim & Jane. Their boxes are crammed with funky tunes from the world's best underground house labels including the label of their own creation, 'Disques Plastiques', devoted to producing and promoting Australian dance talent. Their own creations and remixes vary in style from funked up party grooves to deep late night rhythms.
