A.R. Kane

A.R Kane are Alex Ayuli and Rudy Tambala, both from Stratford, East London, UK, where they formed the band at the end of 1985.

They made music together between 1986 and 1994, and released with One Little Indian, 4AD, Rough Trade, Luaka Bop and Third Stone. They released three full LP's (sixty nine in 1988, "i" in 1989 and New Clear Child in 1994) and several singles/EPs. In 1987 they collaborated with 4AD label-mates Colourbox under the name M|A|R|R|S, producing the double A-sided hit record Anitina and Pump Up The Volume, catalysing the sample-based, dance/house music scene in the UK and globally. They self-categorised their music as Dreampop, coining the phrase that went on to become a genre in its own right. After Kane, Alex produced two solo LPs as Alex! Rudy continues to work as a producer/remixer, recorded LPs and EPs as SUFi and Jübl, and performs as A.R Kane with guest musicians. Alex lives in California, Rudy lives in Cambridge, UK.
