BreakbeatElectroDrum & BassFlorida BreaksUnited States2023-present

Karmic Waves is a Florida-based DJ rooted in the state's breaks, electro and drum & bass lineage. There is no confirmed Beatport catalogue under this alias — the public record is booth work, mixes and scene presence rather than a commercial producer discography. (A track titled Karmic Waves on CRE8ALOT SOUND is a different artist and should not be conflated with this profile.)

The project's own SoundCloud biography presents a selector shaped by Miami Bass and Florida break culture: self-taught on the decks, learning to beatmatch by ear and building sets that pair old-school breaks with a more contemporary selection. HearThis lists Tampa, FL; SoundCloud tags the project as Florida — together they support a Tampa / St. Petersburg base, without claiming a verified birthplace versus current residence.

Documented activity runs at least from 2023. Re-Genesis in Tampa (September 2023) billed Breakbeat · Electro and placed Karmic Waves on a lineup with Exzakt, Burufunk and DJ Pulse among others — an early anchor for the Florida-breaks circuit. Over the following seasons the same profile surfaces on club bills and festival-adjacent rooms alongside names tied to US bass history: DJ Icey, Baby Anne, Infiniti, Monk, Bad Boy Bill, ODI, AK1200, Paul Santana, FACTORe, Pump DJs, Exzakt, Burufunk, Mike & Charlie, Huda Hudia, J-Break, Keith MacKenzie and Doc Roc, among others.

Affiliations visible across HearThis and platform bios include Elektroglobal, 77Deuce (SEVEN SEVEN DEUCE RECORDS & ENTERTAINMENT) and Undaunted DNB — editorial context for Electro / Florida Breaks and drum & bass, not a closed label-roster claim without contract proof.

2025–2026 raised the profile through long-form mixes and higher-visibility events. True Life Purpose Mix appeared via 77Deuce Records & Entertainment in 2025; Initiating Changes and other Florida-breaks sets circulated on HearThis and SoundCloud through the same period. In March 2026 Karmic Waves published a Miami Music Week 2026 Warm Up Mix threading BBOYROY, DJ Spinkidd, Mary Droppinz, a Huda Hudia remix of Mizzo, J-Break, Analog Hustlers and related contemporary US breaks names — selector identity, not generic bass programming.

That same Miami Music Week, Project Mayhem Industry Social 2026 listed Karmic Waves on a bill framed as a celebration of breakbeat and bass culture, alongside Deekline, DJ Magic Mike, Mizzo, Afghan Headspin, Stacy McClure / ShenaniGoons, Analog Hustlers, Rob Analyze and Wutam. Mixcloud archives additional Tampa-area live sets (Logic Underground, Steep Station and related rooms) from 2023 onward.

Taxonomy for Optimal Breaks: Breakbeat · Electro · Drum & Bass · Florida Breaks — Miami Bass and old-school breaks as roots, electro and booty-breaks energy in the middle, D&B as a documented parallel lane via Undaunted DNB and liquid/dancefloor selections in the mix archive. Role: DJ / selector until owned production releases are verified. Status: active.
