Record shopping for a cause! Head down and dig through over 1,000 records.
This initiative, led by Adam Cooke, was born from the desire to create a meaningful way to bring together the Berlin music scene, connecting record stores, radio stations, artists, labels, diggers, DJs, collectors, and fans. All funds raised from this event will be divided between three organizations on the ground, working tirelessly to support displaced people in Gaza (Amos Trust), Sudan (SAPA), and Congo (Focus Congo).
"The positive response from record stores, labels, artists, and friends has shown that the scene is filled with great people who care," says Adam. "In a time when fear-mongering and intimidation make people feel like they can't or shouldn't help, it’s easy to feel helpless or divided. These feelings are isolating, and they can lead to the question, 'What’s the point?' The antidote to all of this is connection, and music has always been a powerful tool for creating that connection."
Records have been donated by recordsale.de, MION, ELEVΛTE, Get Physical Music, Lefter Records, KIMCHI Records, Life Classics, 𝘾𝙒𝙋𝙏, Tresor and us at Refuge Worldwide. Vinyl donations are still being collected, so if you’d like to contribute, reach out to Adam Cooke.
