BUDDHA BEATS

I have been doing a lot of reflecting lately, about all the music I've heard over the decades, and I can definitely say that House and Techno have always been constant for me. There's nothing like either genre, and there's always something new just around the corner. I've been in a very house music mood as of late, and I thought it's been a minute since I did a house mix. I did my usual digging online and came across some real gems. Some I hadn't heard in a good long while too. So I started fleshing out some classics, some new, but more importantly, some you may have never heard of. Like “When I Think About U” by Rob D'Shawn out of Detroit (who I know, and is releasing some seriously amazing music), and an excellent find like “Moving To The Sound” by Deep Fiktion on DT Weapons. I also contributed to this mix with my own “Everlasting” (releasing at the end of the month on Daibutsu Music), to help keep the dance floors busy. Enjoy the mix! TRACK LIST: 01.

I have been a raver since 1992, and have been to lots of events over the years. My hope with these mixes is that I can somehow teleport you — my listeners — mentally to the spaces that these kinds of events went down in. Illegal “Outlaw” parties, full-blown armory/convention hall sized raves, super sweat-soaked club nights, all where you danced yourself into happiness. The DJs at those events brought their “A Game”, and everyone left at the end having made new friends, and sore legs walking out. I have stories upon stories of nights like this. This month's mix reaches back yet again to encapsulate the feeling of these massive warehouse raves from the 1990s, as well as just providing sick tunes to dance to if there's no nightclubs or DJ nights near you. I hope these mixes provide you with the motivation to push the tables back, roll up the carpet, and get your groove on.  I've included a track that I've written at the end called “FLOORFILLER”, that has done just what the title says most times I've played it. Something else to know about the show: All of these episodes are hand mixed by me (and the guests do theirs by hand too), and none of the mixes are repeated. Not a one. I hand pick the tracks that really speak to me from sources across the internet. Beatport, Bandcamp, Traxsource, Juno Download, Apple Music, Soundcloud, and others, as well as from my vinyl, cassette, and CD collections. The order in which they end up in the mix, that happens at the decks.   I really hope you enjoy this mix. If you check out the video mix for this episode, you'll get a sneak peek at some merch that will be available for you at the party on October 26th.

This mix was inspired by the DJs I got to see this past weekend (April 20th) in Los Angeles. They really had the floor eating out of the palm of their hands. It had me thinking the whole way back to my hotel, and again on the way back to Philly. So, I when I got behind my own decks, I immediately started recording. This mix is a result of just going for it. There are four of my own tracks in here, and are surrounded by some sweet tracks. Please share this mix with your friends. Enjoy!

Episode 89 is a 90 minute, blistering ride through the heavier and harder facets of the techno genre. When I made this, my head was clear, I had had enough sleep, and I was excited to do my absolute best. I honestly feel that this is one of my best mixes thus far. Mainly, because I took the time to get it right. Not like I didn't for the others I've done, but I am extremely proud of this one. I hope you'll agree!

Hello all! The Engineer here. Welcome to Episode 88 of the BUDDHA BEATS podcast! I hope you're doing well. Question for you: Do you remember when breakbeats was the new hotness? No? Break-whats?  For those who weren't around  in the scene when breakbeats were all the rage at the time, check this video out for a small primer (https://youtu.be/B4r0MdBQI6U). The reason for the reference, is that this month's mix is all breaks and bass. This includes genres like Baltimore Bass style, Rave Breaks, Funky Breaks, Ghetto Bass, and others.   NOTE!:  Some tracks have adult language, so I apologize for that, and you have been warned.   That being said, these tracks — like many — take me back to when I first heard, or spun tracks from these genres, and I thought I would share these with you all. Now, what's more important, is that all of the tracks listed here except the last one are by artists on Bandcamp.com. As an artist, it's tough to get people to notice your work, and Bandcamp is a great place to find some of the most creative pieces out there.  I wanted to make sure these amazing productions and the artists who brought them to life get to an audience, with me as the conduit.  I have included links in the track listing (https://daibutsumusic.com/buddhabeats/episode88), so if you like what you've heard, PLEASE. GO. SUPPORT. THESE. ARTISTS. While there are free tracks on Bandcamp (where you pay what you think the track is worth), please spend a few bucks and help these fine folks out. You'd like to hear more of their music right?  Me too. So, let's get them acknowledged, and a few buck towards, bills, gear, services that they need to continue doing what they clearly love doing: making dope music.   Daibutsu Music has a store there too, and I love getting an email that lets me know someone purchased my work on the Bandcamp platform.   Please share this mix on your social feeds, it is greatly appreciated. Enjoy the mix!   TRACK LIST 00:00 — Ain't Nobody Shake It Down (Original Mix) by Isaiah 05:00 — Mentasm (Origingal Mix) by Rave 2 The Grave 07:50 — Feel The Power (Original Mix) by Core Dimension feat.

Hello and welcome to Episode 87 of BUDDHA BEATS! I'm The Engineer, your DJ for the next hour. This month, you'll hear tracks from Daft Punk, The Cube Guys, Jess Bays, Aphrohead, and Block & Crown.

The full tracklist is on daibutsumusic.com/buddhabeats/episode87.

If you hadn't noticed, I've really been digging the more hypnotic techno as of late. There has been some seriously sweet pieces I've discovered, so I thought this month's mix should a hypnotic one. Something else that has stood out to me is Bandcamp.com. This website has a LOT of amazing talent on it, and I have made sure that I get my releases there as well. Quite a few of the tracks on the mix are from artists/producers/DJs on the Bandcamp platform, and I highly recommend you check Bandcamp out if you haven't already. A close friend of mine referred Bandcamp being the equivalent of real crate digging, and I completely agree.

This is the last BUDDHA BEATS mix of 2022. This year, I made some pretty big strides. When I look back at how far I've come, it seems makes me feel amazing to see that I achieved so much . Today I also released the discography for the first ten years of the Daibutsu Music label. It's got 100 tracks, and that's nothing to sneeze at. Normally, I would have a video recording of the mix being made, but when I got home from work, and finally got to make the mix, I just turned on the decks, and recorded it straight to my iPod Touch. I didn't even fire up the computer, the visuals, or the cameras. I'm being honest here, I was tired from work. Retail during the Christmas season is ridiculous, and I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone about that for you to get the gist of what I'm saying.. But, listening back to this, it turned out so well. So, with that, I want to say Merry Christmas / Feliz Navidad, and Happy New Year to you!

Episode 82 is a hypnotic techno mix, with tracks from Linear System, ANNÉ, Carlos Manaca, Flug, Nicole Moudaber, and yours truly! Please share these mixes with your friends on social media, and follow the Instagram accounts listed below, and include the #buddhabeats hash!

Hello and welcome to Episode 81 of BUDDHA BEATS. I'm The Engineer, your DJ for the next hour. This month we have tracks from ShadowWork, Lee Holman, Daniel Levak, Jason Johnson (DE), and a few from yours truly. After a much needed break, I'm back in the studio, and behind the decks, bringing my sound to party people worldwide. I've been recharging my batteries after doing two years of massive output (for me) in bringing you my own tracks, and mixes with tracks that I feel light up the dancefloor! And it feels good to be back. If you haven't signed up for the monthly newsletter, you can do so at daibutsumusic.com This is The Engineer signing off until next time, saying PEACE!

Juneteenth, 2022. Last year's mix was fun, but this time, I wanted to bring some attention to the people who bring us these amazing performances, ideas that eventually became hits, even if only in the most underground of spaces. This mix features House and Techno legends like King Britt, DJ Dozia, Carl Cox, Kerry Chandler, Todd Terry, Mike Huckaby, Idris Elba, and Green Velvet. Along with singers like Whitney Houston, Martha Wash, Jocelyn Brown, Rainie Lassiter, and Billy Porter. These people inspired the likes of The Funkboys, Komanche and myself to continue to move the music forward. Happy Juneteenth, Pride, and Black Music Month. Enjoy!

When I had started going to raves back in the 90's, the only "online" places were CompuServe, Prodigy, AOL, and if you really knew what you were doing, you would log on to a BBS — a Bulletin Board System. And these were used for chatting with people across the country, and depending on what you logged into, even the world. I remember logging into a BBS one night, and learning of a rave party once. Other than that, the best way to learn of the parties were flyers and word of mouth. And, once you learned of the party, in order to throw off the authorities, there were map-point hotlines. You would call from the first one, find out where the next one was to get to the party. Sometimes it was in a decrepit or dilapidated building or warehouse. These were called Illegal or "Outlaw" raves. That being said, the DJs, and the music you heard at these events were magical. Now that I'm older, and have amassed quite a nice catalog of tracks from that area in various formats (CD/vinyl/MP3s), I always wanted to play at one of those events from back in the day. But something I quickly learned was how distant the BPMs were for large number of the tracks from that era, and how the speed of almost all of them drifted between a few different BPMs! And back then, there wasn't any sync buttons, or even digital DJ decks to use. It was ALL vinyl! I give credit where credit is due, the DJs back then made it look as simple as tying your shoe, when it was more like trying to knit a quilt from multiple directions. In this month's mix, I have been able to incorporate some of today's hard techno tracks in a mix withe some classic rave tracks from the like of Acen's "Trip II The Moon" (Parts One And Two), Church Of Extacy's "Passion", and Interactive's "Elevator Up & Down". Each of these tracks, if played for a raver who went to parties in the 1990s will instantly be able to tell you their escapades in which each of these tracks played a part! And to top it all off, I added my own track "Original Raver" to close the set. This unreleased track is my own attempt at writing a 90's rave track, complete with rave whistles!  Let me know what you think! Enjoy!

I really miss riding on  the train, and often think about Japan, London, and France — the subway systems that I've ridden outside of the U.S. I got my DJ name from an a beautiful moment I spent with my father, who passed on his love of train rides to me. So this month's mix leaves the station in the deep house area with Andrius Zamba's "London Underground" (London's subway system, also known as "The Tube"), which I have ridden. From here, it's a smooth ride until we get past the 7th track, "My Lips" by Crazibiza, and onto "Sunglasses" by 2Lovers where everything picks up a bit. We even enter Tech House territory before ending up in the land of Techno, with Ramon Tapia's "Bang The Box". Let me know what you think!

Welcome to Episode 77 of BUDDHA BEATS! I'm The Engineer, and this month we have tracks by Fatima Hajji, Moby, Weska, Nicole Moudaber, Underworld, and myself.

February 23rd, 2022, and the COVID-19 Pandemic is still going on. The rise of crime and violence has climbed to a point where you have to seriously think about going out, with all the robberies, murders, and carjacking going on. With all of that going on, it got me thinking about all the fun nights I've had, clubs and raves I'd been to, the people I had met at them, and all the amazing music I've heard. Almost subconsciously, I immediately went to the computer and started picking tracks that would have me on the floor all night back then. When I was finished, I looked over the track list and then it hit me — I had created the longest house set for the show. And it covers quite a few shades of house music too! I wanted to revisit those hot, sweaty nights, where race, financial status, car you drove, the job you had, didn't matter. Back then it was all about the music, and having a good time through dancing. Still the best way to exercise, and the most cathartic way I know to ease the soul. Rather than wish for a device or vehicle that would take us back to that time, I think we can bring all of that music, care for one another, and love for scene, forward into today and leave the negative vibes at home. This mix is a non-stop, TWO HOUR ride through five shades of house music. Even Axel Foley makes an appearance. If you know, you know. (wink) As with all the mixes, this was all done in ONE take, no edits.

Hello and welcome to Episode 75 of BUDDHA BEATS! Our first episode of 2022! This month we have tracks from Yves Deruyter, Chris Kolle, Mython, Yan Cook, and myself. This is a techno mix, so don't expect it to let up, not one bit! It's time to head to The Temple folks! Let's get those sneakers on and LET'S GO!!!

Episode 74 is the last one of 2021, and I thought it best to do a house music set. There are tracks from Dusky, Basement Jaxx, Aphrohead, Robbie Rivera, Chus & Ceballos, Federico Scavo, and The Shapeshifters with Billy Porter. Have a happy holiday, and a wonderful new year. See you in 2022!

This month's mix is a serious exercise in the hard/dark techno genre. I have combed through my collection for the selections used here, and they're here because of their sonic characteristics as well as rhythm and danceability. There will be artist names you may have never heard of. If you hear a track you like, I urge you to go and support them. Because like yours truly, every little bit helps. Make sure you have earplugs to save your hearing, and stretch before dancing, especially to this mix, as we'll be traveling at 130+ BPMs. And I wouldn't want you to pull a muscle or anything.

So, for this month's mix, I wanted to return to one of the first styles I got into as a DJ. Back then, music like this fell under the name of “breakbeat”. This evolved into a much better one: DRUM & BASS. And like many other electronic genres, it has its offshoots. Jungle, Jump-Up, Tech-step, Ragga-Styles, Intelligent, Jazz-step, Atmospheric, Neurofunk, Hard-step, Dark-step, as well as Dubstep. From these we also now have the sultry, jazzy Liquid Funk (lots of beautiful vocals, very dream-like). If you want to check out some DnB artists on your own, look up Goldie, Doc Scott, DJ Rap, Aphrodite, Grooverider, Fabio, and S.P.Y. for starters. Record Labels to seek out: Metalheadz, Propa Talent, Good Lookin', Hospital Records, Moving Shadow, and 31 Records, for some seriously sick tunes. Full track listing on www.daibutsumusic.com

Hello and welcome to Episode 71 of BUDDHA BEATS! I'm The Engineer, your DJ for the next 90min! It's Sept. 9th, but to those of us in the dance music scene call it 909 Day, in honor of the Roland TR-909 drum machine, and in this episode you're going to hear some classic 909 workouts, as well as the first single from ByrneFellman! Time to head to The Temple folks, let's get those sneakers on and LET'S GO!!!

This month's mix has groovin' house tracks from MistaJam, Jess Bays, as well as Green Velvet, and many others. This mix was just plain fun to put together, as you'll be able to see in the video on our YouTube channel. This 69-minute mix is sure to have you dancing, maybe giving you an extra boost on your run, your workout, or helping you look forward to when you'll be revisiting the dance floors of the world.

Hello and welcome to Episode 69 of BUDDHA BEATS. I'm The Engineer, your DJ for the next hour. This month we have tracks from: Alfonso Forte, T99, Sebastian Mora, The Obsessed, and yours truly The Engineer. Don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter at daibutsumusic.com so you don't miss out on anything we have going on.

This month's mix is a grooving house mix that has some classics, as well as some tracks that have been disco-flipped so beautifully, that I had to include them. I had a lot of fun putting this mix together. There's even some "neighborhood cookout" style funk too! Lots of fun, groovy, disco-style house vibes this month. What a great way to celebrate our latest national holiday, Juneteenth!

This mix starts at 130 bpm, and climbs up throughout the whole thing, and you'll feel it build as you listen. Sure the pace may seem blistering for the uninitiated, but trust me, you'll love it! It keeps you moving the entire time. There are some classics as well as a remix of a classic that is quite awesome.

Hello and welcome to Episode 66 of BUDDHA BEATS! I’m The Engineer, your DJ on the decks. This month we have tracks from Jess Bays, Crazibiza, Roog, The Funkboys, and Antoine Clamaran. For the full track list, head on over to our website at https://www.daibutsumusic.com

Hello all! Episode 65 of BUDDHA BEATS is now online! In this mix, you'll hear tracks from Diction, BEC, Filterheadz, Marcal, Fruhwerk, and yours truly, The Engineer! This mix also features a new track of the two I'm releasing today, KURO! Enjoy!

Episode 64 is a return to when I was doing multi-genre mix sets. With COVID-19 still keeping clubs and venues closed, and all of us off of dance floors (especially here in the US), I though it'd be good to revisit one of my favorite styles besides Techno, Disco/Funky House.

This month's episode was mixed by yours truly. I decided that I wanted this month's offering to have a start and a finish, where when finished, you'll feel like you've had a good club night out. If you wanted to feel like you went to an illegal rave, and didn't leave until the birds were ushering in a new day, then this mix has got you covered. If you like the mix, you can check out the track listing on this episode's page on the Daibutsu Music website. Other than that, I'm very proud of this mix, as it has a real beautiful opening and closing, with all the mayhem of a sweaty, underground, warehouse rave crammed in between!

This month's podcast mix is a very special one coming all the way from Tel Aviv, Israel. I bring to you, Qu-Zen! When I tell you that this mix is special, due to her vast range of genres, what she brings to any event she plays is nothing short of epic. Qu has graced the decks in Melbourne (Machine), Berlin (Tresor, Globus, Kit Kat Club), and Wee Jasper (Dragon Dreaming Festival). Qu-Zen is also a producer, and her music can be found on the Sounds Something and Hypnotic Room imprints. This mix is going to take you back to those old school rave days, as well as into the future with some of the heaviest techno. This mix is in the 145-150 BPM range, so if you wanted something to go with your morning run, prepare to take flight! For those of us who prefer a dance floor, the walls will be sweating also! Are you ready? This is RAW, and Qu-Zen really BRINGS IT. You have been warned! Enjoy!!

Hello and welcome to Episode 61 of BUDDHA BEATS! I’m The Engineer, and this month I have a special guest for you! I learned of our guest one day while doing online searches about the business end of DJing, and her YouTube videos have helped many. I reached out, and began chatting, and became friends and ambassadors on The Passionate DJ podcast. You can find her on all the social media outlets, she is also a host on cybergrooveam.com, Disc Jockey News TV, online DJ magazines, and has recently started a new podcast on Soundcloud called The Thought Full Podcast. Also visit her website at: dontkilmavibe.com. Please let everyone know how much you appreciate her set, by sharing it online! So, without further ado, ladies and gentleman, KILMA! Let’s GO!!!

Hello and welcome to Episode 60 of BUDDHA BEATS! I’m The Engineer your DJ for the next 1hr and 40mins! This month we have tracks from Jess Bays, Luca Debonaire, Mark Knight, The Shapeshifters, Robbie Tronco, and James Curd. This mix for everyone, but just to be clear, if it wasn’t for Disco music , and protest music before that being played in and by LBGTQ+ establishments, in the late 60, and into the 70s, we would not have the house music we know and love, and the other genres wouldn’t have taken off they way they did, if not for house music. Let’s be allies, not enemies. Let’s spread love, not disease. This is an all house music mix, so move the furniture out of the way, get the sneakers off, and LET’S GO!

Episode 58 is a special one, I am pleased to present one of Philadelphia's most soulful DJs, and my friend, Khaleel "The Funkboy" Mason! Khaleel and I met in 2017, but not in Philadelphia. We met through a mutual friend on a gig in Ibiza, Spain. We did six dates there, and had a magnificent time. On the bus ride back to the airport, we agreed that we were going to work together, and bring house and techno back to Philadelphia. Please check Khaleel out Mixcloud, and events like The Gathering.

This mix pounds the floor at a relentless 130 bpm, and has enough sub to fuel you through your workouts, and your day. I have had a really fun time playing at this speed, and it actually makes you want those longer, 6 minute tracks when your mixing, allowing you to be expressive.  There are 17 tracks played here, with time for you to get lost amongst the notes, but also to keep your heart and feet locked in for the ride! Enjoy!

Today is December 31st, 2019. The last day of the decade. This is a special mix, highlighting 10 years of tech-house and techno. Starting with 2009, all the way to 2019. All of these were played on the show at least once, so let's take this last listen and get ready to take on 2020! As we go out tonight, and celebrate the end of a decade, please keep in mind that we need to party responsibly. We need to help one another, and to not cause drama and problems for ourselves and those around us. Take care, and if I don't see you, HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is The Engineer signing off saying: PEACE!!

Episode 54 is a special episode. It's a live mix (complete with interaction with the crowd) from Fold Theory's "Shameless" party held at The Barbary, here in Philadelphia. DJ Devestator and myself opened for Kalin, and Andrew Fetch (who headlined the night). Thanks to Andrew for capturing the whole night, allowing me to share our opening set with you all. I'm releasing posting this on Thanksgiving as a way to say "thank you" to all of the people who consistently tune in — even when I'm not consistent with the content. Thanks to my brother Mike who puts up with my constant noise making and any given hour of the day when I'm home. Thanks to Fold Theory for allowing me to come and be apart of their crew, Devestator Kalin,, Fellzie, Shannon, Teagan, Lauren, Alex, Johnathan, Eric, Katherine, for reminding me that I'm rockin' it, even when I feel I could have done better. This is me giving thanks to everyone who makes this world a better place to be. Enjoy the mix, and don't eat too much turkey!
