Akoustik Anarkhy (aA) is a party night & record label from Manchester. Started 30th October 1999 for the simple virtues of having a laugh & playing whatever music you wanted 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.
