Akoustik Anarkhy (aA) is a party night & record label from Manchester. Started a decade ago....that's right one decade back on 30th October 1999. Why did/do we do it? For the simple virtues of having a laugh & playing whatever music we want to at generally maximum volume. Over the last 10 years aA has hosted parties in all sorts of back street grotto’s & nightspots from Manchester to London, Brighton, Paris, Dublin & beyond.
These days we host our main feature nights at the beautiful Deaf Institute in Manchester. If you come by one of our parties then you’re in for a good time with ace music, dancing & lots of laughs.
Akoustik Anarkhy Recordings our label is a burgeoning litter of musical talents. Our first releases were on cdr in 2001. In 2002 we released our first Vinyl 7” Single from Loose Canon & since then have released vinyl, cd & download singles by Autokat, Loose Canon, Soft Priest, Sam and Me, its a buffalo, The Loungs, Islands Lost at Sea & Thomas Truax.
Along the way there have been a couple of ace compilation albums – Whores On The Doors & Class aA: Beyond Entertainment - featuring some of the best artists to play aA with exclusive tracks from Nine Black Alps, The Longcut, Harrisons & The Zans.
2007 was the busiest year yet for Akoustik Anarkhy Recordings. We released our first artist album - the mega ‘Late Night Shopping’ by Autokat followed in May by 'We Are The Champ' the marvellous pop debut from The Loungs.
In 2008 we released the weird & wonderful debut from Neil Burrell 'White Devil's Day Is Almost Over' and the summer was all about Cats in Paris as their brilliant debut single 'Foxes/Terrapins' got fantastic radio play on Radio 1 & beyond. 'Courtcase 2000' the fantastic debut album from Cats in Paris was released August 25th 2008.
2009 is the time we tell you 'Don't Be Scared' - its a buffalo are here with their debut album - Don't Be Scared. Naturally it's bloody brilliant.

Ahoy there! Check out our new EP The Inland Sea here - You can also listen and buy at www.theinlandsea.co.uk Enjoy xxx
“A call to arms from the perilous waters of the Island. Kinfolk cower in their homes as wild squalls rage fury on us. A far cry from the glassy seas and towering swells from which we profited only a few days ago. Respite cruelly prized from our grasp, our hopes of reprieve in calmer seas lie tattered, at least for now. Scathed but not scarred, we persist through relentless gales and cloudbursts on the fringes of the ocean, passing the church in the bay where many a reveler and mourner has been left stranded at high tide. Through fortune and fortitude we reach the shore and are greeted by warm fires, zestful ales and hearty tales shared with our good friend, (sadly soon to depart us). For the storm has abated and the bow has settled. We wipe our blinkered eyes, ravaged and weary; the majestic scenes enveloped by the Island in a blind rage, ever imprinted in our minds”...
The Inland Sea is inspired by the isle of Anglesey, a place that has always been close to The Mekkits’ hearts... It was recorded and produced at "Studio Los Mekkitos"... in Manchester, and will be followed next year with the ecclectic debut album!
