Originally active in 2003-2004 as an abstract dance-oriented offshoot of Warp, Arcola marked its relaunch (just shy of its 15th birthday) as a ltd 12-inch imprint that uses the format to explore the spaces where contemporary electronic music meets 'club music' in 2018 and beyond.

Primitive Art arrives on Arcola with Crab Suite, an EP that sets out to explore otherworldly territories through four apocalyptic-dub transmissions that share psychic space with the work of Shackleton, Basic Channel, M.E.S.H. and Raime.

With strong ties to Honest Jon's (Jim C. Nedd curated the brilliant “Guarapo! Forty Bangers from Barranquilla" compilation) and Italian club institution Club Adriatico (Matteo Pit oversees the art direction) anticipation for Primitive Art's return to wax has been bubbling away in underground circles ever since M.E.S.H. closed out his RA mix with Crab Suite end cut, Sequrity.
