It’s as if someone asked me to choose between BlackBerry and iPhone (I have both…)
I like Satva’s raw style. Polished, clean mixes are not his prescription. His productions are wild, loud and enchanting. Voodoo I say! LOL
He has this knack of producing beats that are “in reverse” making it programming his music an art in itself. He hails from Banguin in Central African Republic (Google it… it’s not a region, it’s a country 
) so he has African influences in his blood.
I met Boddhi in 2008 when he made a quick pit stop in Montreal and we invited him to come jam with us. He dropped good house music which was kinda expected. But he turned the place into a riot when he effortlessly and out of the blue bombarded us with Coupe Decale and Soukouss. I will never forget that night lol People were coming from the streets and rushing into the bar and dancing their butts off. Weeks after the visit, people were still asking about him.
At first when I heard Boddhi’s music I did not even think that it was House music because while it had a house beat everything else sounded different from your average 4/4. Very few people can produce a track that has a BPM of 123 and still sound as intense as 134 Techno track.
Here’s a track of his that I have probably played at every single gig I have done since it was released:

Needless to say, Boddhi Satva is friendly and funny chap. The fact that we both are from Africa and grew up in countries away from home made it that we had some jokes that only us could get.
Did I mention that unlike most DJs or producer he is quite a good dancer? I was amused when I saw him play and he was on the dancefloor grooving with everyone. How amazing is that?
Okay, enough jabber. I am sounding like a follower of a cult leader who is brainwashed lol
I will let his music do the talking.
Satva’s production schedule is mind blowing… when does he sleep? He has so many tracks out at any given time!
In 2009, the Louie Vega camp took notice of him which means that the world finally recognize his talent. He has started touring the world and everywhere he goes people realise that he’s is equally a good DJ who knows how to charm a dancefloor and leave you longing for more.
And by the way… the mere fact that he produced a track with Oumou Sangaré (google her up or check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oumou_Sangaré) puts him in a super league that not many producers will ever come close too.
(Check out the vid below with Sangaré where you can see some of trademark dance moves)
And what about his name? Ah…. you will have to ask him for yourself. While you are at it, try to get him to tell you his age*…. he refused to disclose it to me but he forgot that his fame would eventually lead me to meet his high school mates who were in the same class and I simply asked them how old they were and made some simple deductions lol
