that's a jingle from bully? when you complete the mission?

Ace Tone presents the label's second release: “Arkology - Fire / Education”.
Previously only released on CD, the two versions encompass the spirit of the UK sound system cultures.

Arkology - standing for the science of the ark, was formed by Skorpi Gad I and Zanga – two like minded dance hall regulars. Right at the start of UK hip-hop - an emerging wave and sound of the youth, Arkology were pushed by young rappers from the area to produce them. This resulted in the launch of Positive Beats records in 1987. In contrast to hip-hop from the US which started to become more commercialised at that time, in the UK it took a different stance of awareness and consciousness, forming under direct influences of calypso and reggae music. It was rooted in sound system culture and Arkology was there at the beginning of this emergence. By experimenting with hip-hop and reggae, and through diverse collaborations with artists from the neighbourhood, their style was found within a strong community. Having met at Jah Shaka’s dance halls, they worked with the mastermind dub engineer Aba Shanti I, who was very supportive of young ‘street level’ passionates and played a big role in their development. Arkology started working closely with Aba Shanti, who mastered many of their early productions, and mixed their debut album The Blueprint in 1994.

On ACTR002, two tracks resurface into a new context, sounding as relevant as they did during the time they were produced. Fire Dub is what a perfect union of hip-hop and reggae sounds like, accompanied by a shattering bassline. The B side Education Dub, carries the timeless message onto the streets of today, in a more percussive and digital style. 

ACE TONE will compile another 7“ by Arkology later this year — stay tuned!

No Trace w/ Mjaupurr (07/01/25)

First time we heard of Antoine 80's alias Tonito Yama was through his first album, Synthetic Nature, released on Belgian label Nose Job, on which the Brussels-based producer traverses energies, feelings and genres like no other. But Tonito Yama only is one facet of the artist - aside from his main alias Antoine 80, he also co-runs the label TodoRecto and hosts a show on Kiosk Radio. 

Tonito Yama: "This mix of an hour and eight minutes is a search for a rooted future, a link between Dark Jazz and Gleaming Dud. These tracks are a non-exhaustive material to create this encounter. Seat back and relax, close your eyes and dream on!"
