Ceasefire by Joe Armon-Jones
50% of profits from vinyl sales go towards MAP (Medical Aid for Palestine)
Joe Armon-Jones returns with Ceasefire, the second in a series of dub releases on his own Aquarii label, following the release of ‘Wrong Side of Town’ featuring Hak Baker earlier this year.
This time Joe teams up with legendary reggae deejay Ranking Joe, as well as saxophonist and fellow Ezra Collective band member James Mollison.
Ceasefire is an uncompromising call for peace at a time of heightened global conflict. Joe Armon-Jones says “This shit never ends, we wrote this song back in 2020 and the fighting never stops, encouraged by people who make money off the blood of innocent people.
We live in an unbelievably cruel world. Palestinians have been living in apartheid for years and are now subject to a genocide being imposed on them by Israel, supported financially by the USA & Britain.
Ranking Joe here is calling for a Ceasefire, not just for the Israeli occupiers but for all those around the globe who would kill another human being, as such an act is despicable and never tolerated.”
Produced and mixed by Joe Armon-Jones with additional vocal mixing by Prince Fatty, mastered by Noah Priddle, and released via Joe Armon-Jones' own imprint Aquarii Records.
