about

The GAZA Mixtape EP consists of new remixes and earlier releases by Checkpoint 303, combined into a 4-track Mixtape in support of the brave women, men and children of Gaza. A celebration of their resilience and their fight for justice, freedom and an end to the illegal blockade of Gaza.

The first piece on the EP is a 2023 remix of a track previously released by CP-303 under the title "Gaza Soumoud", Next, on "Gaza Calling", you hear our friend Bilal, a citizen of Gaza, on the phone trying in vain to get through to the united nations, asking why the international community has abandoned Gaza and the Palestinians. The third track, "Gaza sea minor" is an audio collage combining field recordings from Gaza (teenagers strolling along the beach) and excerpts from the Palestinian author and political activist Ghassan Kanafani interviewed by the journalist Richard Carlton in Beirut in 1970. Finally, the piece "Time Passes" is a tribute to the late writer, poet and humanist, John Berger ( 1926 – 2017) in the form of a remix/collage/soundscape based on a video recording of John Berger reading Ghassan Kanafani's "Letter from Gaza".

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
― Malcolm X
