Episode 44 is our last episode of 2018. Wow, it feels so “final” to say it that way, but it’s true. 2019 is almost here, and with it will come a lot of new and improved things. I have been at this for four years, and I am forever thankful for all the love and support that all of you have show me, Khaleel (whom I do the Underground Expressions show on Facebook on Thursdays with) Ashley, and everyone who has helped spread the sound of the BUDDHA BEATS podcast, and the Daibutsu Music brand. There are big things to come in 2019, so make sure you're on the mailing list at: daibutsumusic.com/contact.php

This set was broadcast live on the Underground Expressions show that I help produce with Khaleel FUNKBOY Mason and streamed live to the House Junkies TV page on Facebook.

With Episode 34, we say goodbye to 2017. It was definitely eventful for me! I got to go to Ibiza and DJ, I've made some new friends both Stateside, and overseas.

I've gotten a LOT done in 2017, and I'm keeping the momentum going in 2018. There will be lots of new info to tell you about soon. To make sure you don't miss anything, you can sign up for the Daibutsu Music monthly newsletter.

Thank you for checking out the mixes, and making 2017 a great year to reminisce about!

In Episode 33, I return to one of my favorite genres: Techno. This blistering mix features some of the amazing tracks I've gathered, from Kolsch's  "Gra" and it's Blade-Runner-like tendencies through Samuel L. Session's dance floor monster "Can You Relate" and Marco Piangiamore's "System V" on his own SKYNET imprint laying waste to anything in its path, down to the close of the set with Faberlique's hauntingly exquisite "Sleep Blind" deftly remixed by Makarti. I feel the extra time I spent searching for these tracks was well worth being a week late in getting this episode out, and I hope you agree. I put everything I had into this mix. Yet, no matter how many times I listened back on this mix, I still feel that I surpassed my own expectations and because of that, I'll say "Mission Accomplished."  Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to Episode 32 of BUDDHA BEATS! I'm The Engineer, your DJ for the next hour. This month we have tracks from Sander Kleinenberg, Juliet Sikora, Gustavo Da Silva, Popcorn Poppers, and Nicky Three Sixty. I was feeling some disco and funky house this month, and I hope you enjoyed it. Now, usually there is a video to go along with the mixes, there isn't for this month, as I sort out a new solution for the videos, so please bear with me, the videos will be back soon. This is The Engineer signing off, until next month, PEACE!

Hello all! The Engineer here! This month's episode of BUDDHA BEATS is a very special one, as this entire episode was recorded at Bar Amsterdam in Ibiza, Spain! This was my first time there, and I can easily see what all the fuss is about. If you are someone who enjoys going out to see DJs and/or electronic dance music performed live, then Ibiza is one of a few places I would call "Mecca".

This was recorded at the party I was on the flyer for, called "I Amsterdam IBIZA", which was made possible by Donnerstag Musik, and Playhouse. Big thanks to Carrie Anne, Hesh, Khaleel, Maggie, Andreas, Ollie, and MaryEllen, and the Bar Amsterdam staff, especially the two girls who dance on the bar, and everyone who was dancing themselves sill during this set!

This is definitely one of those sets where I grew as a DJ, as the decks were ones the crew and I had never played on before — the (now discontinued) CDJ 350s. Once Ollie showed me where everything was (and warned us of the possible short in the mixer), I did my best to get the mix as tight as I possibly could. I listened to it once I got back home, and was very pleased with the results, so I'm posting the mix for you all to hear, enjoy, and get your groove on to!

If you like this mix, please share it everywhere you can on your social feeds, it'll be greatly appreciated, and we'd all love to play Bar Amsterdam again next year! I'm sure they are looking at the response of this episode especially! Enough from me, ENJOY!!

Sincerely,
Brian K. James  //  The Engineer

To all the DJs around the world, thank you for your amazing sets, as I've studied them, losing sleep at night. Your work does NOT go unnoticed.

Okay, enough talk, The Temple's doors are open, get those sneakers on and let's GO!

Hello and welcome to Episode 26 of BUDDHA BEATS! I recently ran into people from the scene that I hadn't seen in quite some time: Lorne, Wally, and many others. It was awesome and got me thinking about all the music we heard in the clubs back then, and I thought it'd be fun to revisit some of those classics, plus a remix of a track written by Hall & Oates that is off the chain, to show my eternal love for Philadelphia, my home. I also mixed in one of my own releases, "Stardusted" which is available everywhere online (Beatport, Traxsource, Juno Download, iTunes, Google Play, Pandora, Sirius XM, etc.)as well as www.daibutsumusic.com/store.php

BIG BIG BIG shout out to Natalie and everyone over at The DJ Hookup.com in Chicago, for getting my new Pioneer to me as quickly as they could so I could get this podcast done on time! I'll be sending business your way for sure, and I'll be visiting sometime in the near future! I'm going to see the birthplace of House Music before I leave this planet, that's for damn sure! Geno's here I come, get that Meaty Legend ready!

BUDDHA BEATS: YEAR TWO is going to happen, so stay tuned to all the social feeds, as it WILL be happening soon. It's been a lot of work, but I'm only one man. I've got help this time, and believe me, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO MISS THIS ONE.

Love from Philly to everyone, Please let us know what you think of the mix, sign up for the mailing list, so you don't miss a thing! See you at BUDDHA BEATS: YEAR TWO! PEACE!!
