AKO BEATZ MUSIC

The AKO Brand started in 1995 under the name A-KO Recordings the label was set up to release music Stretch had on dub by himself and other producers.

The label was set up to put out music for the dance floor as Stretch was known as the vibes man. A-KO Recordings went on to have 7 releases with one of them being the jungle classic Hungry Tiger. In 1998 Stretch decided to stop the label as he got very busy and was starting to do other things, and unfortunately wasn’t able to give the label 100% of his time.

In 2014 Stretch decided to relaunch the AKO brand and get the ball rolling again, with a new look updated design, and some fresh music. The AKO brand runs two successful labels AKO Beatz and AKO150 both focusing on that jungle/DnB sound. AKO Beatz with new-age Jungle/DnB sound but staying true to its roots with releases from Goldie, Marc Mac, Tek 9, Mantra, Skitty, Tim Reaper, Double O, Enjoy to name but a few on the label, and AKO150 giving you that 90's jungle sound.
