Mashed Buddha was created by a keyboard player who decided to stop waiting for the band of his dreams and instead created his own album of original music. He wasn't really planning on any specific genre(s) at first but was attracted to the complex drum stylings of jungle and drum n bass, and he used this as a rhythmic foundation for much of the music on 'subdue your mind.' The next step was to add interesting and hip basslines and chord progressions using warm analog synths, electric pianos, percussion, and effects. Finally, add the diverse influences of a musician who has performed funk, rock, jazz, reggae, and more. The result is an organic approach to electronic music. The goal of this first album was to create grooves, funky dance beats, and to otherwise embrace jungle music. The next album will continue this journey but include more expression in terms of keyboard soloing and at the same time expanding into more quality fringe pop like Martyr.
