BUDDHA BEATS 89-HARD TECHNO
June 29, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 211 MBEpisode 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! Dream Free (Jancen Remix) by Ackermann Aerospace (Original Mix) by Matthieu B...

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).

BUDDHA BEATS 86 - Hypnotic Techno Mix
March 23, 2023 19:43 - 1 hour - 138 MBIf 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 Bandcam...

BUDDHA BEATS — Episode 83 / Techno
December 24, 2022 05:18 - 1 hour - 159 MBThis 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 ...

BUDDHA BEATS 80 - Juneteenth 2022
June 24, 2022 03:05 - 1 hour - 237 MBJuneteenth, 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 peopl...
BUDDHA BEATS - Episode 79 / Techno & Rave Classics
May 23, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 202 MBWhen 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 ...
BUDDHA BEATS - Episode 78 / House 2 Techno
April 23, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 200 MBI 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, "M...

BUDDHA BEATS - Episode 76 / Deep to Disco
February 23, 2022 17:00 - 2 hours - 305 MBFebruary 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...
BUDDHA BEATS - Episode 75 / TECHNO

BUDDHA BEATS - Episode 74 / House

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!
BUDDHA BEATS 73
November 23, 2021 08:16 - 1 hour - 155 MBThis 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 ...
BUDDHA BEATS — Episode 72 / Drum & Bass Mix
October 23, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 146 MBSo, 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-li...

August 23, 2021 08:15 - 1 hour - 159 MBThis month's mix has groovin' house tracks from MistaJam, Jess Bays, as well as Green Velvet, and many others.

June 19, 2021 09:49 - 1 hour - 160 MBThis 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.

What a great way to celebrate our latest national holiday, Juneteenth!
BUDDHA BEATS - Episode 67 / TECHNO
April 26, 2021 07:08 - 1 hour - 127 MBThis 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.

BUDUDHA BEATS-Episode 64
December 01, 2020 04:07 - 1 hour - 164 MBEpisode 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.
BUDDHA BEATS 63 / The Engineer / Techno
October 31, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 143 MBThis 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 ...
Buddha Beats 62 - Qu-Zen / Techno
September 30, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 112 MBThis 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 ...

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...

March 17, 2020 21:00 - 1 hour - 139 MBEpisode 58 is a special one, I am pleased to present one of Philadelphia's most soulful DJs, and my friend, Khaleel "The Funkboy" Mason!

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!
