ashley beedle is one of the pioneers of global dance music. a man with so many different musical hats its dizzying. a man who is as at home playing and producing deep funk, soul and reggae as he is with cutting edge house and techno and everything in-between. a man who has had as many akas and pseudonyms as a wu-tang clan mc. a true inspiration to many of todays crop of djs and producers, including us here at girls music hq.

to celebrate argot s fifth year of releases, we re launching a series of compilations boldly entitled american dance music. argot s first ever various artists compilation continues its mission of showcasing homegrown talents, assembling a cast of familiar faces and welcome compatriots for the inaugural edition. american dance music vol. 1 features the long anticipated return of the black madonna, who debuts her new collaborative project with rupert murray, throwing shapes. you ll recognize argot stalwarts savile, olin, todd osborn, maxine & cleo, and hippie priest on the tracklist. we ve also invited friends noncompliant and alex falk to the fold. with future volumes we aspire to look even further afield and cast the spotlight on many diverse talents who make up american dance music. much of american dance music vol 1. is aimed squarely at the dance floor, whether it s todd osborn s smooth and playful romp, 80s are here (part 2), or noncompliant s acid tweaked ode to girls everywhere, femslash. throwing shapes comes bursting from the gates with the raving stomp of heatstroke, channeling midwest raves as much as the thomas bangalter tunes inspired by them. savile offers the growling stepper, reality is a sound (share power mix), while alex falks vines provides an effervescent vocal moment. olin and maxine & cleo double down on hypnotic motifs: the former s 2d rhythm whips snare riffs off the walls of a late night jam, the latters imagine yrself catches dancers in a lockstep house groove with stimulating vocals as its key. the compilation concludes on hippie priests dream machine, whose melancholic melodies and cinematic scale twiddle heartstrings with a deft hand.

kuniyuki takahashi (often best known simply as kuni or kuniyuki) is a japanese dj and music producer, sound engineer from sapporo, hokkaido, japan. he records under many different aliases depending on the style of music he is producing, including forth (dub techno/acid house), frr hive (downtempo/drum n bass), koss (for techno). he was also a joint member of the group drp (deutsches reichs patent) along with other member tomoyuki murashige.

san fran-based artist, tape_hiss releases his second ep on love notes and you can clearly hear both his sound and the label s maturing in tandem. moving on from the depth of his first record, love is a dog from hell, tape_hiss takes things into headier waters, going heavy on the acid and the rugged basslines on this 4 track ep. angelian war storm begins in exactly that fashion, with 303s squelching and bassbins rattling. this continues through the clear standout trackout, the vivian girls. the gears shift a bit on the b1 where sistrum boss, patrice scott is allowed to rework the vivian girls and does so in a warbly, dirty jazz fashion. tape_hiss then closes things out with the title track, realms of the unreal, which uses an appropriate sample annoucing, “this is me, yo. right here”, and it does very much sound to us like this budding artist is annoucing himself to the world in a most proper fashion. we can’t wait to hear what comes next from both artist and label.

steve murphy presents his new acid and industrial-tinged techno project, the night flyer, on lobster theremin’s cryptic black label imprint. a fear-addled chill seething down the spine and a machine-grinding, acid terror-bird emerging from the deep night, the night flyer is an expectedly dark take on the seedier end of technoid nightmares, while hanging a distinctly cold (wave?) atmosphere over cobbled, crushed analogue structures.

invisible inc bring out their second compilation ep, this time vaguely focussing on the interzone between cosmic disco, balearic house, psychedelic * glam rock* and seedy, tribal, dungeon acid.

minimal tech stuff

note from herr vunk: yess, boys and girls,its medication time! dark deep oldskool acid techno from heart and soul of rotterdam made by moustache records chief david vunk and long time underground hero mario cyb-x 010 gucci.

the modular ep is technically giannis debut release (save for a track included on nic fanciullis balance 021 mix compilation in 2012). and its a confident and assured debut release on cadenza.

luckily there werent any of the anticipated refund claims for the first two chapters of >if this is house i want my money back<. so we finally dared to compile number three. the concept of the compilation is pretty simple: we ask friends, pv regulars, and other good looking producers, who are famous for dancing around the edges of the genre, for an exclusive track, all of which we put together on one neat compact disc. this time the bill reaches from hot shot producer mano le tough (who celebrated his permanent vacation debut on vol. 2 of this series), maeve label buddy the drifter, the swedish house mafia in form of house dandy axel boman and edit ramajam hnny, rising star lake people, long time vacationer bostro pesopeo (together with local munich dj san quentin) and sizzling newcomer boska to the jack of all trades willie burns, fellow nyc resident octo octa, berlin-based melody masters kim brown, the neukölln acid kingpins achterbahn d’ amour (aka iron curtis & edit piafra) as well as hotflush and we play house regular locked groove. each and everyone of the participants are more than convincing in what they are doing and although they have different perspectives on the long runner house music, the tracks come together in sweet harmony on this compilation

sect returns to the heart of the history once more. chicagos legacy is finally represented on the label by one of the finest producers of this city and sound, dj skull. words cant do justice to the legacy of this legend of house and techno music. for almost three decades skull has produced of some of the finest dancefloor tracks ever made, be it through saber (trax), djax, hybrid, majesty recordings, tresor, or many others. here the dark knight offers four very special cuts that reaffirm his legendary status. the title track combines the most up-to-date techno production techniques with the inimitable chicago jacking sound. *promise of peace* retrieves traditional house values on the mellower end of the musical scale, while *reboot* gets back to the straight-up techno, with some nicely understated acid elements, and finally *big girls* is informed by both reggae dub and forward thinking techno.

two boys and girls on the spur of the moment. they are wearing masks to hide their faces. no one should know who they are. all members are old hands at different music scenes. now the world has to face a new act called a band of crickets! it is the first release of the new label behind the black curtain.

after selling out all previous releases to elite djs and collectors worldwide, the highly mysterius artifact imprint is back to its original aim, that is crafting obscure sonic weapons for disco ninjas! a side 15 minutes is credited to milanese crew love supreme and it is a mesmerizing disco rock rework that builds up to a climax that takes no prisoners. bottin has been playing this to massive dancefloor slaughter and has finally decided to share the blame. on the flipside speed is an enthralling car chase or grand prix if you wish, with throbbing bass, lasers and cowley-esque synth stabs, while frisbee is a rare italo groove, a funk gimmick topped by acid synth patterns, a latin lover voiceover and packs of sultry italian girls chanting >disco! disco!< and definity getting what they are craving for.

this single-side vinyl, pressed in 100 cps limited edition, is the happy ending of one of the most played tracks from our friends djs and strictly grooves followers. >sweet pussy pauline< is a classic, an hit that increases over the time, in months of gigs between berlin and reggio emilia, london and garda lake. our job is to make good music and share it with those who appreciate it, but this time we have done much more, because sweet pussy pauline has become a true piece of art in the hands of tatiana festi, who designed directly on record, label to label, 100 unique pieces. tatiana is a very renowed artist, becoming bigger and bigger thanks to her brilliant style, its creatures, its sensual girls, with languid eyes and provoking mouths. and though in acid colors, bright and pop, painted with a meticulous technique and surprising signs of felt pen, all have something of the femme fatale and at the same time, victims of love.

limited reissue of this highly sought-after krautrock masterpiece from german musical genius richard schneider jr. also featuring the mighty wolfgang maus on bass, this lp takes you on an amazing journey through luscious pulsating psychedelic soundscapes providing a great showcase for mr schneiders exceptional skills on a huge range of instruments including glockenspiel, acoustic 12 string guitar, synthesiser, tubular bells, tambourine and cowbells. includes the crazily ethereal high the wonderful hello beach girls which sounds like the best beach trip ever - meaningless giggling lyrics on a lazy day in a paradise the gorgeous acid-tinged visions the more up-tempo groover samba session plus the achingly beautiful synth symphony crazy world. one of the super-rare cosmic/balearic holy grails, this whole album is a pure aural treat - lie back and enjoy the ride

in a time when rock critics saw the prodigy as a glorified keyboard player flanked by a couple of weird and scary dancers, liam howlett & co showed the world how dance had evolved away from the club scene and into the festivals & arenas.
and they did that by staying true to their own sound. while dance moved from acid house to rave to ambient to breakbeat & drum n bass, the prodigy changed their brand of hard-hitting breakbeat with king-sized hooks and unmissable samples only sparingly.
always outnumbered, never outgunned was the long-awaited album after their breakthrough smash fat of the land. featured on the album are namesake liam gallagher, kool keith, twista and even juliette lewis, morphed and wrangled beyond recognition on an album that goes back to the core of what the prodigy stands for: a thumping bass, mad beats & noise flying every which way but loose!

this is the debut release from aussie youngster, charlie why. a superb dark druggy disco 4 tracker. >i am deliciously wired< sounds like an acid trip spaceship mixed with freaked out vocals drenched with mechanical rhythms and industrial squeaks. >biscuits< enters you into a world of space and depth, looping you into a wonking and rolling state of mind. when it is reaching the early hours of the morning >nose< warms you with deep seductive elements with sexual groove. like a girls naked body, >mountain body< is smooth and curvaceous with lush piano chords, rolling bass, and vibrant melody.

recently, he sent us a bunch of his own unreleased solo projects and we are very excited about them. you will find in this package 3 new tracks in his distinctly recognizable sound that blurs the borders of funk, disco and acid-house.

kitsuné kicks off 2009 with a melodic and romantic gem, remixed by new york legend todd edwards and californian avant-garde artistes acid girls. praised for their unconventional opening sets for cat power, appaloosa is born from the chance encounter of a london-based producer from berlin and a french globe-trotter recently returned to paris. together they have written the ultimate chanson damour presented here with a raft of stylish remixes. todd edwards, the living house legend, offers an enrapturing and mystical rework of the original track. a house groove and a heavenly touch propel us into ecstasy. acid girls paints the song in loud fluorescent colours and rips it up in an explosive finale. finally, appaloosas own dub version extends the experience with a burst of free poetry, an offering which brings to mind the orbs nebulous reveries.

this is a mix cd with a rather interesting twist - none of the tunes are actually mixed at all, instaed carl craig focuses on studio magic to give one long constant stream of supurb house and techno form across europe and america, with a particular emphasis on the unmistakable dutch house sound
