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.
Here’s a list of our past releases, all of which you can buy from the aA Shop:
aA2W/047 - Beat The Radar - To the city from the sea - CD Album & Download.
