Inspired on J-Zbel's masterally produced album 'Dog's fart is so bad the cat throws up' (2019), this live recording from Forbidden Fruit's forest rave (August '24) peaks all the way through, allowing for a peak-time driven set exploring the boundaries of electronic music. It's an ode to diversity in electronic music and humanity.

As a doctor, Dr. Hans Kluge helped save lives in some of the toughest places on Earth. Now the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Europe, he is working to improve the health of hundreds of millions of people - in a region stretching from Vladivostok to Lisbon.

"We cannot have health without peace. Peace is the most urgent medicine.”  

Stepping into his European role just as a global pandemic swept the earth, Dr. Kluge never dreamed that his previous experience in crisis-hit sub-Saharan Africa would prove so useful.  In this episode, Dr. Kluge reflects on lessons learned during COVID, the mental health crisis, and on some surprising methods to build trust with remote communities.  

“My dream and my vision is that we have a culture of health. It means that, independent of your financial means, your sexual orientation, whether you are documented or an undocumented migrant, that you are empowered to live a healthy life, and this means that we have to have universal health coverage.”
