about

This started out as an ongoing collection of one-off beat productions, on some 'for the sake of it' type. I love to work to an outline or some sort of boundary, and this gave something to push against so I went with it. It's a pretty muddy boundary in that the only parameters are that the beats are pretty short and have to be nice and hefty, but at least that means they won't be full on ambient pieces, remixes, or edits.

I put them out at a reasonably steady rate in 2023, with a short visual accompaniment, but never put them out properly. So here they are in full glory, including a brand new one which is yet to be released. I'll quote the legendary Cool Chris from Groove Merchant in San Francisco who said of the first track 'Heavy Spoilers', "Crazy nice". That was, in all honesty, all it took for me to continue.

Hope you like - thank you kindly for checking, and I have a gang of other goodies on Patreon too if you fancy that (patreon.com/buddypeace).

Black Buildings (Album)
by The Detroit Escalator Co.

Yo... This album is pure perfection. My only regret is not discovering this back when it was released but I'm overjoyed I found it recently. Detroit ambience for nocturnal heads... Buddy Peace

The Space Between
by Drummachinemike

Drummachinemike is an absolute beast with the electronics, breathing life into machines and making them do all sorts... This album is a pure manifestation of that, and is highly recommended. Buddy Peace
