-----------------
Dear friends,

The „Love and Nature“ artists set off on new adventures and this time they have to face the catastrophic incidents in Australia.

Since September 2019 hundreds of bush fires have burnt over 6 million hectares of land. Scientists estimate that over 1 billion animals are affected. the reasons for the fires are versatile but the worst drought in Australias history and record high temperatures - up to 46 degrees - may be the main reasons. All this can be traced back to global warming but lots of politicians and huge parts of society still close their eyes. It is terrifying to see that every year announcements like this are rising and we are still not able to develop sustainable economic systems. Just embarrassing that country’s like Australia, Brazil or USA, which have to face natural catastrophes more than other countries, blocking important resolutions to stop the climate change. But also we have to take responsibility for our consumption behaviours to sent a signal to the economy.

Kollektiv.Liebe decided to donate all earnings of this release to „Wires“ which founded an Emergency Fund. It helps to rescue sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.

We have to thank our supporters and fans all over the world and we are very proud about the feedback of the artists who investigated in this release. Only their enthusiasm created this great compilation.

David Rausch - Wrong | Love and Nature Adventure Vol. 4.1

An all vinyl mix of music sampled by two of the greatest all time producers DJ Premier & RZA. 
You probably tuned into the online sound clash a few nights ago where these two titans went beat for beat in live showdown. In the end, it was hard to pick a winner. Either way, some great music was played and we all got to go back to our younger days for 3 hours while they dueled it out.  
Here's a bunch of my favorites by them. Some obvious and some a little harder to spot. This barely scratches the surface of what they've touched but, gives a small representation of Preemo & The Abbot's work. Enjoy, RS

D'Angelo & Questlove at Brooklyn Bowl, 3/4/13 | Complete

Had to take a break from the podcast this past month - there's so many more important things happening now that deserved, and continue to deserve, everyone's focus. As I come back to the records, I want to make clear a few things for all the listeners of this podcast and my mixes, if it wasn't clear before: BLACK LIVES MATTER - and have ALWAYS mattered - to me, and I am forever in debt to the role that Black people, and Black art, music, and culture have played in my life. As a white DJ playing majority Black music, I have never felt I could sit back and somehow separate music from the people, politics and issues contained within. In fact, my attraction to hip-hop music was much in part because of the political and social education I received from the Black people creating it.

And as a white person, I am a guest and a visitor in many places and spaces, and I will never know what it means to be Black or be able to understand the full power or meaning behind much of the music I play. That doesn't mean Black music and art hasn't had profound effects on who I am and my music and politics. The records that I collect and play have furthered my dedication to fighting white supremacy on all levels - individual to systematic - which includes being self-critical and hearing criticism from others in how I might perpetuate white supremacy in my own work or music. I FULLY support the ongoing efforts to ABOLISH POLICE AND PRISONS, as well as calls for REPARATIONS for Black people. If you are white and you listen to my podcasts, and you don't understand why I stand for these things, or have questions, I recommend checking out http://m4bl.org (Movement for Black Lives) for more information, and also feel free to reach out. I'd rather build on anti-racism and anti-white supremacy with folks who are open than immediately shun anyone. If you don't want to build and are white and just think the records I play are "cool" or "ethnic" or "raer" then, generally, fuck you. 

BLACK LIVES MATTER. This should be plainly evident, especially to us DJs and record nerds, but unfortunately that's not always true. 

This episode contains music from several records created by Black artists that had incredibly important impacts on who I am as a DJ and person.

TRACKLIST:
Ramsey Lewis - "Opus #5"
Charles Mingus - "Haitian Fight Song"
Alice Coltrane - "Stopover Bombay"
Curtis Mayfield - "I Plan to Stay a Believer"
