Dhamma talks by Buddhadasa Bhikkhu for international students spoken in or interpreted into English and given at Suan Mokkh, Chaiya, South Thailand, in the years 1982-1991. As these were given at the end of his life, they often focus on core concerns of Buddha-Dhamma.

Platinum-selling recording artist, label boss, festival promoter, true innovator in the pantheon of popular music, cultural champion, cracking DJ: there’s a lot to be said about Kevin Saunderson.

His influence runs deep, through both adopted hometown of Detroit, and music culture as a whole: as one of the Belleville Three, the high school trio which also includes Juan Atkins and Derrick May, he irreparably changed the face of electronic music; with Inner City, he gave it some of its most memorable tunes. 

The genesis of today’s enormous techno scene can be retraced straight to Kevin, Derrick and Juan, as their formative experiments on rudimentary hardware sketched a blueprint for a genre that was yet to exist. By absorbing Kraftwerk, cutting-edge funk, local radio stalwart The Electrifying Mojo’s electicism, and all manner of new synthesiser and drum machine-led pop music, the Belleville Three broke new ground as musicians and DJs in the 80s. 

Saunderson’s comparatively late start as a producer – kicking off in ’87 under the moniker of Kreem, with E-Dancer and Reese two of the more well-known names to follow – inadvertently gifted him a headstart. With the eruption of house music a few hours down the I-94 in Chicago, Saunderson married Detroit’s raw sound to more tactile, pop-leaning sensibilities. Inner City was born, and global success followed.

Between “Big Fun”, “Good Life”, debut album Paradise and a number of follow-up singles, Inner City (Saunderson and vocalist Paris Grey) amassed 12 UK top 40 hits and over six million records sold worldwide during their peak. A dancefloor-dominating remix by Luciano in 2008, and a globetrotting reunion tour in 2012, underscores the longevity of Inner City’s classic sound. 

His nickname of ‘The Elevator’ is apt: for his role in transporting Detroit’s new sound to a wider audience; as anyone who has seen him perform live can attest, his high-energy, high-spirit and high-impact DJ sets; and for spending the past 35 years of his life progressing the culture he helped create. 

Operating in tandem to his golden run as a producer in the late 80s and early 90s, Saunderson’s own KMS record label – a remarkable 30 years strong in 2017 – has chronicled the early footsteps of R-Tyme, Blake Baxter, MK, Chez Damier, Derrick Carter, Bicep and even Saunderson’s son and regular DJ partner Dantiez more recently. 

A special 12” series in 2008 called History Elevate, released in tandem with fellow polymath Carl Craig’s Planet E label, brought contemporary names like Mathew Jonson, Simian Mobile Disco and Loco Dice into the fold, proving his nous for fostering relationships with each new wave to come through techno’s gates. 25th anniversary compilations and numerous reissues have followed suit. 

Saunderson has a behind-the-scenes role to play, too: he is intertwined with the history of Detroit’s flagship Movement (formerly Detroit Electronic Music Festival / Fuse-In). Having produced the event in the mid-2000s, the last handful of years have seen repeated invites from Movement to display his ORIGINS showcase at the festival, bringing acts like Delano Smith, Phuture and DJ Minx under his curatorial umbrella. 

And of course, with a stacked international touring schedule over the decades, playing in nearly every country and at nearly every festival or club worth mention, he has not stopped pushing the feeling of techno on and on. 

The Groove That Won’t Stop, indeed.

Bio: 
Fuelled by foundation jungle culture. Moved by the melting pot Driven by futurism, eclecticism and those exciting playgrounds between the genres, the eras and the flavours; Yorobi’s been deep the laboratory since 99, forever studying the dark art of expression through beats and bass. 
Magnetised to the movement through her own mixed heritage roots, her musical vision is one of unity, fusion and no boundaries. Whether it’s released on heavily respected labels like Exit and Parallax; whether it’s performed at nights such as Rupture London and clubs like OT301 Amsterdam (or any inclusive free rave in between); where it’s broadcast on radio stations like innovative new radio platform Echobox or the legendary Jungletrain where she made a name for herself in the mid-2000s; Yorobi’s selections and productions consistently create space for tempos, emotions and genres to blur and mutate with tension and release.
Slowly refining her sound and spirit since she first cut her teeth in the underground clubs and pirate stations of Groningen, Yorobi’s long-game relationship with the culture has grown in tandem with her artistic life beyond the beats. A multi-disciplinary artist and well-versed art historian and tour guide, Yorobi (real name Josje Bijl) has spent her entire adult life cultivating, exploring, celebrating and documenting centuries of creativity and the cultural contexts that frame and fuel it. 
Now fully focused on articulating this wealth of experience through her music, productions are a critical piece in the puzzle. Years of studio incubation have led to an ongoing flow of productions that began in 2019 and refuses to stop to this day. From collaborations with the likes of Tim Reaper and Sun People to solo productions released on labels such as Repertoire and Pollination, Yorobi releases reflect everything that’s come before and what she wants to see in years to come. Her studies continue to this day…

DConvict is who the OG core of the Belgian dnb community refers to as the ancient one, the walking encyclopedia, the historian, the collector, the backbone, the teacher and the eternal student at the same time. Few in this scene are so accomplished in their knowledge and ability to play out any single kind of fast breakbeat music in a seamless voyage of sound, touching all sides of the spectrum and of the drum & bass history, at the same time highly entertaining, with a touch of crowd education. He’s been rockin' it since 1876 and will still be doing so years after the rest of us will have passed.

Art
As an expression of our desire to escape
The unnerving feelings

Trying to rid ourselves of their importance
And in doing so, we discover meaning

At the bottom of our collective depression
Life does not say by what purpose to live

Only you do.

Belfast-born Dominick Martin has spent the last 30 years simply creating. He’s done so with a sort of restrained melancholy that’s broad enough to encompass a myriad of tempos and genres. Over 22 albums, this includes his more song-based experimental LPs, from drum & bass into dub, techno, house, ambient, jazz, soul, blues and folk.

The same can be said of his award winning DJ sets: Fluent within his own vast range, favouring the bookings where space and time allow him to draw out a narrative and provoke emotions, predominantly based on his own material. Calibre sets draw from his own personal spectrum, never resort to hype tactics and are perennially sprung with never-before-heard surprises. Whether you experience him taking over a room for the full 6+ hour trip, or he plays a shorter higher impact role on a bigger bill, his singular signature persists: a soulfully honest sense of the transcendental and a unique perspective and approach.
