BUDDHA BEATS — Episode 99 / Hard Style

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.
