Artist Talk | Joe Armon-Jones and Maxwell Owin
Joe Armon-Jones & Maxwell Owin are two powerhouses. Individually, they’re both pivotal figures and long time collaborators spanning across genres. Aside from being producers, Joe Armon-Jones is a composer and keyboardist for Ezra Collective, while Maxwell Owin’s production credits include Pinty and as a core member of various London jazz and improvisation based projects plus his own imprint Raising Deep.
Together they produce music that draws from their vast musical knowledge. There’s soul, improvisation, jungle, dubstep, drill and of course jazz, all featuring in their productions. And their work with an equally diverse range of vocalists and MCs including Rocks FOE, Fatima, Shabaka Hutchings and Lex Amor, all feature on their album “Archetype” on label AQUARII. No easy feat, the album was 6 years in the making. But their distinct style of fusing together bass heavy dub with contemporary club sounds, while firmly repping the modern jazz scene, had garnered them a loyal fan base spanning across generations.
