Graffiti in Venice

Deadly Buda (actually: Joel Bevacqua ) is an American Rave - DJ , music producer and Graffiti Artists. He is considered a pioneer of graffiti and the rave. The two authors Roger Gastman and Caleb Neelon refer to him in their standard work The History of American Graffiti as the first graffiti superstar in Pittsburgh and as the inventor of the “monster rock style” (large-format printed letters). In 1991 he was one of the co-founders of the Pittsburgh rave scene.

His track King of Style was used in the hip hop documentary Style Wars . It is mentioned in the book "Spraycan Art" ISBN 0-500-27469-X . He is an ambassador for the music platform Musicoin. Part of his techno record collection was included in the US Library of Congress: Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division in 2005.

Life

graffiti

In 1985, Joel Bevacqua gave himself the day "Buda" after doing research on Buddhism for a paper at his junior high school . He taught himself the art of graffiti on trips to New York, where he learned from artists like Tracy 168 and T Kid 170 at Henry Chalfant's studio on Grand Street . Instead of emulating his idols, he began to experiment and developed a style that he called "Monster Rock" (in graffiti the "rock" denotes a single letter). He adapted the New York style of making the tags appear as 3D graphics. However, all writers let the 3D style appear in such a way that the letters in the block mostly came from one direction , even with the Wildstyle . Buda tried to break the 3D effect so that the letters appear to be in motion. To establish his style, he also founded the Badassest crew.

Henry Chalfant and James Pigoff included one of his pieces in their book Spraycan Art and made the style popular. The style was quickly adapted worldwide and made Buda known on the graffiti scene.

DJing and rave

After a short punk phase, during which he also sang in a band called Citizen Pain, Bevacqua became enthusiastic about hip-hop culture in the mid-1980s and began scratching . A neighbor who was a disco DJ taught him the necessary skills. Already known in the graffiti scene, he added a term from Kung-Fu , similar to Grandmaster Flash , "deadly". Over time he turned more to techno or rave.

He had his first appearance as a DJ on December 13, 1991 in West View, Pennsylvania, where he shared a deck with DJ Controlled Weirdness. With him he founded the production crew Hear to Go. In 1992 he opened a rave record store called Turbo-Zen Records.

Deadly Buda brings his music out on various labels such as Sounds, Praxis, Level 2, Mokum, Atomic Hardcore and his own label Deadly Systems.

As an author

In the 1990s, Deadly Buda began to write in various fanzines , such as the Brooklyn fanzine Under One Sky, which was published by Heather Heart . Charles Aaron used one of his quotes in 1994 in a review section of the popular SPIN magazine . Many of his articles have also been published in other fanzines, such as Slurp !, Alien Underground (now datacide, United Kingdom), Massive Magazine (Milwaukee), Streetsounds (Canada), the German Raveline , Freebase (Los Angeles) and Now !? (Pittsburgh). His best-known article was The Morphing Culture for the first edition of the Alien Underground, where he introduced the so-called Morph Beat.

He's still a popular writer today, reporting on electronic music in mainstream media like LA Weekly . His own fanzine, The Hard Data, has been published online and in print since 2015.

In 2017 he released a DJ mix as a blockchain for Musicoin.
