Upcoming Events:
In 1998, at the peak of the Rave Scene, Michael Delos Reyes a.k.a. Buddha was introduced to the world of Electronica. Considered a late bloomer in the electronic age of music, with his humble beginnings traced to the Trance Scene of the late 90's, it was just a matter of time until Buddha would discover his passion for House Music.
Buddha's journey into House Music began with DJs and producers such as Derrick Carter, Heather, Diz, Mark Grant, and Mark Farina. His fascination for funky bass lines, booming bass with hypnotic jazz melodies definitely made Chicago House as one of Buddha's favorite sound.
It was not until Buddha was introduced to the sounds of DJs and producers such as Lil Louis Vega, Marques Wyatt, Tony Humphries, Frankie Knuckles, Ron Trent, and Kerri Chandler that he finally found his niche in House Music. He could not resist the deep, soulful, jazz infested beats that accompanied this style of House. In his very own Jazz Sessions 1 & Jazz Sessions 2, Buddha captures the styles of top House icons and is able to add his own flavor to it, creating a unique sound that will soon have him recognized in the House Music community.
Although a native of Los Angeles, Mr. Buddha frequents the San Diego House Scene, playing in famous spots including the Red C Lounge, Rich's, and the E-Street Alley. His smooth mixing, unique musical selection, and ability to get bodies moving on the dance floor have made him one of San Diego's and LA's favorite local DJs.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt
