Londoner-in-LA Budgie has always felt the presence of the holy ghost in his beats,
owing to his collector’s penchant for obscure gospel records. Sweet Sweet Spirit,
released alongside his other LP Chuuch Preach Tabernacle, sees the producer and DJ
do what he does best. Sampling preachers and messianic proselytising into beautifully
evocative beats, such that you might expect frequent collaborator Kanye West to chime
in at any moment. Ranging from the ascendent sermons of ‘The New Messiah’ to the
straight instrumental hip-hop goodness of ‘Heavenly Spirit’ and ‘Church on Shrooms’,
Budgie is adept at channeling some higher beings.

Chuuch Preach Tabernacle delivers on its title in the sense that this record finds
the London-born, LA-based beatmaker Budgie serving up a beat tape which revolves
around samples of preachers, gospel choirs and church life. In doing so he creates
a luxurious set of productions which are not dissimilar to the best work of Knxwledge
and Budgie’s one-time collaborator The Alchemist. Guest MCs including Chuck Inglish
and Nasty Nigel jump on the beats across the album, but an appearance from Eglo’s
modern neo-soul star Fatima should tell you that Chuuch Preach Tabernacle is a
collection which is also rich in harmony.
