Sasha | Tomorrowland Belgium 2018

In the U.K. in the 90s we had Renaissance with Sasha, John Digweed, Dave Seaman, Ian Ossia, Anthony Pappa etc. They were the greatest nights. Deep slow progressive sets building and building up for hours. We would travel the country over when they went on Tour. Sasha is the only DJ still going from the 90s that I would still travel for today. Well, him and Carl Cox. The sets would build slowly then a massive drop and bring you down again afterwards before another build resulting in a massive crescendo towards the end of the night. Very few can do this layering effect now, music would ride like a roller coaster as the drugs took hold until the lights came on. Many DJs play predefined tracks or maybe even pre mixed. These were the days of 12 inch records, the DJ quickly looking through a massive box to find a record that was required for that stage of the night… very few modern DJs have the patience to create this journey now it’s all hit after hit after hit…. you need some filler to create the journey. We didn’t have all these fancy lights and lasers, a dark room with sweat falling off the ceiling, no mobile phones, you’d have to find someone wearing a watch to know the time or wait for the first glimpse of sun to come through the sky lights. Great times.

Bloken – Maddeinc

“Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.

If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.

For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.

Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;

And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.”

~ Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet ~

Memories of Murder OST

Memories of Murder (Hangul: 살인의 추억; RR: Salinui chueok) is a 2003 South Korean crime-drama film co-written and directed by Bong Joon-ho. It is based on the true story of Korea’s first serial murders in history, which took place between 1986 and 1991 in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.

On 18 September 2019, police announced that Lee Choon Jae had been identified as a suspect in the serial murders. He was identified after DNA from the underwear of one of the victims was matched with his, and subsequent DNA testing linked him to four of the other unsolved serial murders. At the time, he was identified he was already serving a life sentence at a prison in Busan for the rape and murder of his sister-in-law. Lee initially denied any involvement in the serial murders, but on 2 October 2019, police announced that Lee had confessed to killing 15 people, including all 10 victims in the serial murders, which includes a case previously considered to be a copycat crime, and 5 others. In addition to the murders, he also confessed to more than 30 rapes and attempted rapes.

On 15 November 2019, police announced that they had reached a provisional conclusion that Lee was responsible for all 10 serial murders.

Yoon Sang-Yeo, who was convicted of killing the eighth victim and spent 20 years in prison until he was released on parole in 2009, filed for a re-trial of his case on 13 November 2019 following news reports that Lee had confessed to all 10 serial murders. Two days later, police announced that they had reached a provisional conclusion that Lee was responsible for the murder for which Yoon was convicted. Police said Lee’s confession in the eighth murder ‘elaborately and coherently’ described both the scene and the victim. This raised concerns that police had charged an innocent man.

The Overview Effect by Human Suits

The overview effect is a cognitive shift in awareness reported by some astronauts during spaceflight, often while viewing the Earth from orbit or from the lunar surface. It refers to the experience of seeing firsthand the reality of the Earth in space, which is immediately understood to be a tiny, fragile ball of life, “hanging in the void”, shielded and nourished by a paper-thin atmosphere. From space, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide people become less important, and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this “pale blue dot” becomes both obvious and imperative. Third-party observers of these individuals may also report a noticeable difference in attitude. The term and concept were coined in 1987 by Frank White, who explored the theme in his book The Overview Effect — Space Exploration and Human Evolution.
