The CD Camino Real contains house music with funk and Latin influences. Artists like Isabelle Antena, Ted Milton and Michael Franti cooperated in the production of this CD. On the CD Late Nite Reworks Vol. 1 different mixes can be heard.

Buscemi not only brings out his music on hard disk but also performs live sets, supported by his band with drummer Luuk Cox, bass Hans Mullens and trumpetteer Sam Versweyveld. As such, they appeared multiple times at Rock Werchter, I Love Techno, Ten Days Off, Pukkelpop, Gentse Feesten, Dour Festival, Zeverrock and many other festivals.

Buscemi also produced the soundtrack of the Belgian drama series De Rodenburgs, a TV series about the intrigues between two rich families in Kortrijk. [1]

In the summer of 2011, he scored a hit ("O Sarracino") together with Rocco Granata.

Since 2023, Buscemi has been cooperating with Moodby Play, a European provider of background music streaming services for public venues like hotels, bars, restaurants, stores, and gyms. To date, he created six music stations on Moodby: "Loungy and world grooves by Buscemi", "Jazz time by Buscemi", "Cocktail music", "Classical", and others.

Keeping pace with the trends, the DJ introduced a collection of 3,000 Buscemi Beats NFTs that feature his unique audio samples in five cultural themes, including Miami Latin, Afro Vibes, and Bossa Nova.
