A.R. Kane (sometimes AR Kane or A.R.Kane or plain A.R.K.) were a British musical duo formed in 1986 by Alex Ayuli and Rudy Tambala. In the late 1980s, the duo coined the term "dream pop" to describe their eclectic sound, which drew on diverse sources such as dub, psychedelia, free jazz, and house. After releasing two early EPs to critical acclaim, A.R. Kane topped the UK indie charts with their albums 69 (1988) and "i" (1989). They also released the surprise dance hit "Pump Up the Volume" in 1987 as part of the one-off collaboration with Colourbox under the name of M/A/R/R/S.
