Enjoy returns to AKO with two stunning tracks that take you on a journey. Dead Calm has a 1997 feel to it and somehow Enjoy spins it back to 1993. The Waves is a personal favourite something we know Bukem would've been playing back in the day, this track has an atmospheric feel with a lashing amen and thumping bass. Just close your eyes and let it take you away.
*STRICTLY ONE PER PERSON - ANY ORDERS FOR MULTIPLE COPIES WILL BE REFUNDED*

Coco Bryce makes his solo debut on AKO after featuring on the Defender album. Two beautiful tracks – Sweetheart has that trademark sound by Coco Bryce, melodic sound, and a rolling break and just has a vibe.
Sonar is an Amen track that has caught the eyes of many and brings a nice balance to the release. Both have been getting a lot of AirPlay from the likes of DJ flight, Mantra, Decibella, and others.
Theory returns with a solo project and this one hits hard alone in the dark is exactly what it says dark with various breaks and a thumping baseline theory takes no prisoners on this track.
Trust me starts off with a vocal, pads, and halfway into the track thumping amen comes in and takes it to a whole other level which is very Jekyll and Hyde this has been a favorite on the playlist and we are glad to be able to release such a beautiful track on the label.

The Last Ronin project was born from the encounter of 2 minds, geographically far but so close ideologically. It was a simple idea at first:
'Why don’t we put some beats up, sample some bits, and mix it up with nowadays sounds and technology and see what comes up?’
That’s basically how ‘Sleepers’ was born.
Stretch & Enjoy sound is a mixture of cultures, vibes, experiences but has its common point into the 90’s breakbeat flavor and you can feel it all the way through.
Old skool and reinforced legend Alpha Omega returns with another Monster killer EP and in true Alpha Omega style, he does not hold back and gives you a selection of various beats and styles.

Then takes you on a technical Journey with sciences 95 followed by beautifully crafted tracks Crystal Ball and Look Into My Eyes.
Canadian-based producer Rumbleton returns after his remix on AKOism 3 to release his solo EP on an AKO Beatz. 4 carefully constructed tracks that take you on a journey, Rumbleton engineering skills are next level and we call him the beat master at AKO. Beats that take you into the darkness then bring you into the light. Rumbleton also linked up with AKO boss to produce a track that has already got people excited. Outernational jungle at its finest.
After the success of the collaborations on 2019’s Tek 9 lp, Dego and Dom team up again for AKO Beatz, this time a whole LP’s worth of back and forth, which started collaborating in-person pre lockdown, to then be finished virtually.
The sound is a kind of fantasy 1997 where drum and bass had held on to one of its alternate futures. The year 1997 had experimental intricate beats, warm bass, and odd sounds; the skill of playing real instruments matching the knowledge of breakbeat science.
If they hadn’t chosen another path, this is what it could have sounded like. The sound is very now but from another time. Is it the future, is it the past? It’s just anachronistic.
Dodz Canadian based producer makes his AKO debut and what a way to introduce yourself with 2 absolute bangers.
Watercolour has already become an AKO favorite with a beautiful melody that builds and builds with the breaks that make you just close your eyes and realizes why you love jungle. Then the bass hits you with the edits of the breaks and you just want to dance and embrace the person next to you. Simple is another banger that LTJ Bukem would have been playing in the ’90s again beautiful pads and vocal that build around the breaks and just when you think it could not get any better the amen drops and take the track to another level. Welcome to the AKO Stable Mr. Dodz.
