the history of afro art starts five years ago when simone beedle
the wife and manager of ashley beedle the dj, remixer and producer
as an outlet for his projects. the first release was the
critically and publicly acclaimed hit "universal jones", a
collaboration between disc jockey veteran bob jones and ashley.
further releases followed from ashley beedle, marden hill and
urban farmers amongst other acts.
life and the '90s however, took its toll on couples and ashley and
simone split up, resulting in the label being "put to bed" for a
while. to re emerge a couple of years later with a smash black
science orchestra tune "keep on keepin' on" featuring the vocals
of jenny de vivo and the production skills of marc woolford.
one of the labels biggest successes however was the next black
science orchestra production featuring an allison david tune
"sunshine" again featuring the production skills of souldrummers
marc woolford. another mix by pete heller released later that year
became one of the most played records of that summer.
since then ashley beedle has departed to rejoin the x-press 2 for
their long awaited comeback album on skint records but before he
left he drafted in his old friend and mentor paul murphy, one of
the most influential and original dj's of the 1980's to oversee
the label, and also released a final black science orchestra e.p.
featuring six strong tracks.
phil ashersÆ highly acclaimed mix of "space and time" by marc
woolfords souldrummers' was the very first release under the new
regime setting the very high standard that afro art has maintained
since then with releases varying across all genres.
now afro art has an in house production team consisting of marc
woolford, luke howard, winston hazel and paul murphy and all with
highly acclaimed releases recently including supafix "ghetto:new
yorkshire", souldrummers "medicine man", dance freak "in dub" and
paul murphy and marc woolfords "jazz room".
afro art is now in the process of signing new and exciting artists
for the future.....watch this space.
