« The Future Sounds Of Yesterday’s Dreams »
Jamwax is an independant label dedicated to mostly (but not restricted to) Jamaican music.
Since december, 1st of 2013, we have been reissuing hard to find and obscure songs from Jamaica the island in the sun, Bermuda, Trinidad & Tobago, and also Nigeria.
We want to give a second life to recordings we love and to help the artists/producers behind them so we always work with copyrights owner or the family estate. To write the half that never been told (as far as we can) is also a part of our mission.
With a unique secret process to manufacture our vinyl records, the highest sound quality is not only a slogan but a reality on our releases. We respect to the fullness the colour of the original sound.

"Joseph White aka Joe White is a foundation of Jamaican music. He started singing in the late 50's and did his first recordings for Duke Reid in the early 60's. He moved to Sonia Pottinger's label later and get a first success in 1965 with the song « Every Night ». He also recorded for Prince Buster, Coxsone Dodd and Rupie Edwards. In the 70's, Joe White was one of the only melodica player in Jamaica with Augustus Pablo, Peter Tosh and Bobby Kalphat. He released beautiful melodica instrumentals like « Kenyata », « Call Me Trinity » for Derrick Harriott and « Cheer Up » for Glen Brown. Joe White was also a member of the famous BB Seaton's backing/studio band « The Conscious Minds ». In the mid seventies, he moved to London and released his classic album « Love For Every Family ».
Joe White formed the group « Roots, Trunks & Branches » to release several tracks on the label « Splendour Heights ». « Forward To Zion » was released in 1979 and became a truly reggae roots stepper banger for sound system accross the globe. Probably electronic music fans will appreciate the futuristic dubwise. « Forward To Zion » is a song of peace, love, freedom and emancipation of people.
