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.
Hello and welcome to Episode 57 of BUDDHA BEATS! I'm The Engineer, your DJ for the next hour. This month we have tracks from: Jens Lissat, Richie Santana, Jay Lumen, Underworld, and yours truly The Engineer! Time to head to The Temple folks, lets get those sneakers on and LET'S GO!!!!
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!!
