Episode 106 is a mix that contains energy from old dusty warehouse raves, and doesn't let up for a whole hour and ten minutes. This mix felt so good to create too… There are tracks from some well known artists, some who have done an amazing job to capture "that vibe" in their productions that whose name we don't readily recognize, and then there are some tracks that are rare dance floor classics from artists who if you say their name, most would immediately know who they are and what they sound like.

My goal, was to capture this vibe. What makes this episode do special you ask? Well, the crate digging I had to do to in search of the vibe I wanted for this mix. Loopy, Minimalistic, Evolving, Hypnotic tracks that eventually take that left turn into the pitch black void. Super repetitive kicks? Oh absolutely! Hand claps from the abyss? Most certainly! Rave-style synth breakdowns? It wouldn't have the vibe if it didn't! Tracks that have these properties that evolve over time takes some serious digging. But adding tracks that I know would fit the vibe also came from my vinyl and CD collection.

Enjoy the mix!!

Welcome to Episode 105 of BUDDHA BEATS! I’m your host, The Engineer, inviting you on an 80-minute journey from the soulful grooves of house into the thunderous pulse of techno. This month’s mix features tracks from Houston UK, rhythmic explorations by Neuroxyde & Doomwork, the melodic finesse of Jess Bays, mind-bending minimalism from Dubfire, and the powerful drive of Pig & Dan. Time to head into The Temple, let's get those sneakers on and LET'S GO!!!

Hello and welcome to Episode 104 of BUDDHA BEATS! I'm The Engineer, your DJ for the next hour. This month, we have tracks from Dubfire, Yan Cook, Rodrigo Corona, Robert Moriello, and myself! It's time to head to The Temple folks. Let's get those sneakers on and LET'S GO!!!!

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!

BUDDHA BEATS 100 Event was on October 26th, 2024.

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.
