It seems fitting that the Manuel Bundy card should apparently be the most sought after of the 11 trading cards produced by Auckland label Sugarlicks to promote its recent 'Ultrasound' compilation. The veteran DJ has been a fixture on the New Zealand dance scene for nearly 20 years now.
But while he has only released a couple of solo tunes, Bundy has contributed beats and scratches to numerous artists' albums including Nathan Haines' 'Shift Left', Mark de Clive-Lowe's 'Six Degrees', Nuvonesia's 'Island of Nuvonesia' and OMC'sHow Bizarre. He also toured the world with OMC in the mid '90s at the height of How Bizarre's chart-topping success.

Why did you chose your DJ name: Back in ‘88 (I think), I did a gig called The Terrordome with Sam Hill at the Siren in High St (later to be called Cause Celebre). We changed our last names to those of famous serial killers, and I ended up with (Ted) Bundy.
