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.

minimal tech stuff

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.

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
