The purpose of San Francisco Zen Center is to make accessible and embody the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha as expressed in the Soto Zen tradition established by Dogen Zenji in 13th-century Japan and conveyed to us by Suzuki Roshi and other Buddhist teachers. Our practice flows from the insight that all beings are Buddha, and that sitting in meditation is itself the realization of Buddha nature, or enlightenment.

In the ever-evolving dance music scene, success hinges on both talent and an indomitable will to innovate. Jolyon Petch, a New Zealand-born and Melbourne-based artist, has managed to carve out a distinct place in this competitive landscape, earning acclaim for his chart-topping hits.

In 2021, Petch's impressive 13-week stint at the #1 spot on the Australian ARIA club charts captured the attention of dance music enthusiasts. His singles "Holding On" and "Tell Me Why", produced under his pseudonym Elektrik Disko, were instrumental to this success. His cover of Fleetwood Mac's iconic track "Dreams" however, truly catapulted him to new heights, becoming the most played track on Australian radio that year and outperforming releases from internationally renowned artists.

The success of "Dreams" went far beyond radio airplay, as it clinched the top spot on the Shazam charts in both Australia and New Zealand. It also secured Petch a Double Platinum record in Australia, a Platinum record in New Zealand, and millions of streams across platforms, marking a significant milestone in his career. His work didn't go unnoticed by the industry, as he garnered nominations for Best Dance Single at the ARIA awards 2021 and Best NZ Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

In 2022, Petch continued his winning streak. His single "I Just Want Your Touch" scaled the UK club charts to land at #1, while also enjoying a five-week reign at the top of the ARIA club charts. Meanwhile, he embarked on a tour of Australia and New Zealand, drawing crowds of over 4,000 as the headline act at the Australian Beer Festival, performing on the main stage at Sydney’s biggest Harbour party, and delighting audiences with club shows across the nation. In the same year, "Dreams" earned him a second ARIA nomination, putting him into the 'Song of the year' category up against Australia's biggest pop stars.

Despite his recent successes, Petch’s career in the dance music industry has been long and illustrious. He launched his record label "Club Luxury" in 2006, and has since performed in over 15 countries and 20 cities. With DJ residencies at prestigious venues in Auckland, Gold Coast, and Melbourne, and eleven #1 singles on the Australian ARIA club charts, his credentials are remarkable. His music has earned the endorsement of industry heavyweights like Tiesto, Pete Tong, and Hardwell. Showcasing his range, he has produced remixes for a diverse set of artists, including Pet Shop Boys, Snoop Dogg, and Robin Schulz.

Jolyon Petch is not just making music; he's creating a legacy. With over 100 million streams across platforms, he has marked his place as one of the most popular music producers today. His rise to fame testifies to his hard work, passion for music, and an innate ability to create beats that make the world move.
