Over 20 years ago, the artist known as Dub Surgeon crafted an album entitled “The Lost Future”, fusing his love of dub music with found sounds and created an ambient space, which is driven by horizontal rhythms. The Lost Future was recorded at the former Amsterdam Film Academy led by the recording engineer Ricardo Villalobos. Together, Dub Surgeon and Ricardo Villalobos mastered the album together, putting it through several vintage mixers and recording it to a two inch tape. On one frightful night, a storm ignited a fire at the studio and the master copy was thought to have been lost forever.

Shortly after the fire, it appeared that Dub Surgeon had faded into the shadows, after only 2 eps on his now defunct record label "Future Dub". 15 years later, Dub Surgeon received a demo of “The Lost Future”, which brought his music back to him after all these years. Resembling the very essence of the Ark to Ashes label and it’s homage to Lee “Scratch” Perry burning his own Black Art Studio to rid of his demons, “The Lost Future” is finally home.

Ark to Ashes is a record label conceived in Brooklyn, realized in Abu Dhabi & fantasitzes about the universe.. It was founded in 2013 by Shadi Megallaa.

Ark to Ashes is inspired by the madman/genius known as Lee "Scratch" Perry. In 1979 Scratch burnt down his beloved Black Ark studio in Kingston, Jamaica to rid himself of the negative energies surrounding it. Every once in a while we must also burn down our own Arks in pursuit of a more positive existence. The label aims to bring back the spirit of the Black Ark & bring it back to life.. Keep on Dubbin..
