MIAMI, March 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The prominent dance music recording artist and peace-focused philanthropist Sir Ivan aka Peaceman releases their new 18-song album “LIFE”, an aptly titled full-length LP that unites the world through the messages of peace and tolerance, a cause central to what is happening in the world today, given the the recent invasion of Ukraine. Mr Ivan transformed iconic anti-war and peace songs from the 60s and early 70s into electronic dance music, as well as several original works inspired by the spirit of the 60s.

For more than 20 years, Mr Ivan donated all net profits from his music to charity, but this time he feels it’s more important to spread the power of lyrics to everyone on the planet. That’s why he decided to release his latest album exclusively on Soundcloud for everyone to stream/download for FREE. Just as the lyrics of those anti-war songs from the 60s and 70s inspired the protests that helped end the Vietnam War, Mr Ivan believes they can have the same positive effect today to stop the war in Ukraine and once again prove to the world that “the pen is mightier than the sword”. These songs can be used to rally the peace-loving people of Russia to continue their protests against the evil behavior of their government.
As the son of a Holocaust survivor, Mr Ivan is committed to fighting violence and hatred. His message is clear: “Everyone downloads for free until Ukraine is free!”

The album features a 60-minute non-stop mega-mix of all 18 songs. This mega-mix is from the COVID-19 charity competition which Mr Ivan created to ease the financial burden of unemployed DJs at the height of the pandemic. Mr Ivan awarded over $10,000 to the winners chosen by the judges Paul Oakenfold, Bassjackers, Exodus, Mars DJ, and tenishia.
“LIFE” is available exclusively on Soundcloud and can be streamed/downloaded for free until Ukraine is liberated from the Russian invasion of their country.
