War On The Bullshit (Revive)

In light of the passing of the great luminary Gil Scott Heron, I have decided to give this one up to the world. 
This is my take on my favourite track from Gil's final album, I'm New Here( which is available to buy here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Here-Gil-Scott-Heron/dp/B002ZBT84G ) 
I made this rework as a companion to the original - which for me evoked classic blues, New Orleans flavours, voodoo and mortality. 
A few shady characters have this track on their hard drives already, and I've been playing it out to great acclaim. 

Peace and love, Ash x

Out Hear Audio is back with another far out offering for the modern dancefloor. The second release for the label this year following the killer Yambee "Chemical Love / Natural Off". 

Cambridge based producer Dave Rendle aka System Status has been involved in music since the mid nineties and producing seriously since May 2010. It was Daves creation under the System Status moniker that caught the attention of Untracked Recordings. Released on said label in November 2010 with the rock solid slice of bare bones disco "Montparnasse" on the flip, "Downtime" was Daves debut single and a lifetime goal achieved and crystalised in limited wax. 

Dave has now emerged with the track "Take Root" from his concept project 'The Detroit Urban Gardening Ensemble'. The track took inspiration and samples from the Julien Temple documentary 'Requiem for Detroit' about the decay and industrial collapse of Americas fourth largest city. Ashley Beedle heard "Take Root" while on the way to a gig with Dave and infamous Nottingham DJ/Promoter Beane Noodler. Ashley loved the track and thought it would be perfect for Out Hear Audio and after a few pound coins were exchanged the deal was done! "Take Root" comes in its original spellbinding form of aural art and Beedle throws in a lovely rework for the beatheads – rocking out the drums and cutting back the vocal samples while adding his trademark magic. The track is an analogue funky squelch for the modern soulboy.

Ashley Beedle - Your Acid Life - Yardism 1 EP

Featuring 4 remixes of the enigmatic and bohemian Waterson on Ashley Beedle's Back To The World label. KDA provides his trademark pulsing bass - a sound that recently propelled him to No. 1 with Tinie Tempah & Katy B - delivering a rolling dub remix with nods to early-90s house. Ashley Beedle and Darren Morris work their house magic referring to the classic King Street neighbourhood New York vibe which spawned the sounds of Levan and Knuckles. Horse Meat Disco's Severino teams with Nico De Ceglia, and partner in crime as the Hyena Stomp project, to give 'Tell Me' the proto-house treatment - both raw and full of the uplifting and urgent energy of disco. Fast emerging as one of Europe's most in-demand deep-house producers and a leading light in the underground Moscow house scene, Lay-Far re-works the track with mesmerising depth & soul to turn in a track that will win over fans of Motor City Drum Ensemble and Max Graef alike.

Mr Beedle steps up to the plate with his ‘North Street’ mix of Igor Jadranin's sublime ‘Middle Proves’ aided and abetted by Darren Morris and Jo Wallace on production duties. Mr Morris’s keyboard skills come to the fore with some lush, jazz tinged piano and the vocal interludes pay homage to the influence of UK Garage legend Todd Edwards. WARM!!

Ramrock Blue Records, in conjunction with Loop Recordings, is proud to present Electric Wire Hustle and their joyous 'Brother Sun' ft. Kimbra [Aron Ottignon & Rodi Kirk version/ Ashley Beedle's North Street Vocal & Dub mixes]
Aron Ottignon & Rodi Kirk's bouncy 70s inspired piano-jam, summery, steel-pan version may already be familiar to some of you as it was originally a bonus track on EWH's 2015 'Aeons' EP. Ashley Beedle's North Street vocal mix strips back the production to emphasise the evocative vocal collaboration between Mara TK and Kimbra with Darren Morris's added keyboards taking the whole track to church. Add to that the North Street Dub and you've got a package that will uplift the soul.
The digital release is 15th July with limited vinyl 12" in August 2016.

Hailing from Paris, the 20 year old Strandtuch is studying Art in London whilst continuing with his production and DJing duties.  Starting 3 years ago using Ableton Live, a couple of plug-ins plus an Akai MPK MINI, Strandtuch is now beginning to move into analog production - a few little synths here and a Roland MC 303 there.  The results can be heard on his debut ‘COPA’ EP, which draws influences from Funk, Hip-Hop as well as Old & NuSkool House & Techno. 

The title track ‘COPA’ leads you into an EP that is full of surprises - subtle changes of direction starting with wonderfully dark and warm repetitive riffs that embed themselves into your psyche.  Showing a great understanding of past musical eras, ‘Detroit 84’ with its simple but soulful vocal gives a nod towards the halcyon days of Detroit House and Techno with house legened, Ashley Beedle on remix duties for the vocal and beats versions. ‘Curlz’ ups the tempo and the result is a track with an incessant 4/4 beat with some jazzy riffs thrown in for good measure and closes Strandtuch’s EP in style. Listen and enjoy. Released now http://smarturl.it/CopaEP_JunoDL

Ramrock Records launch their new Balearic/Jazz label Ramrock Red with ‘Lazy Bones’ by Future Unit.  London based composer and producer Remy Felix Vas aka Future Unit, saw his vinyl debuts released on the highly boutique and influential Porn Wax and Tusk Wax labels in 2016.  

Praise for ‘Pegasus’ (Tusk Wax 20) 
‘’The plaudits should be saved however for the mysterious Future Unit, who marks his debut with the slow motion acid funk of “Pegasus”, a total mind melter if ever I’ve heard one.’’ – The Vinyl Factory, May 2016

Praise for ‘Man From the South’ (Porn Wax 11)
‘’The slow motion magic continues on the flip as Future Unit hits us with the lysergic brilliance of "Man From The South", a tripped out bit of space disco for all the acid casualties out there. Corrosive sequences, tasty funk touches and a big whacking Carpenter-esque bassline make for a full scale party jam here. It's official, Future Unit's the effin man!’’ Piccadilly Records, Manchester, July 2016 
‘Lazy Bones’ will be Future Unit’s third release.  It started with Bill Brewster playing it on his weekly podcast and next THE Ashley Beedle is shouting its Balearic brilliance from the twitter rooftops! 

The original combines an insistent 70’s Italian library music inspired hook with crunchy beats and cosmic synths.  Paired with slacker lyrics, it’s your unofficial alternative summer soundtrack; baggy guitars, eclectic electronica, loose, uplifting sounds, fat, acid basslines and insistent, earworm melodies. 

Remixes come from three highly respected remixers, all drawn to the original through social media word of mouth. 

Iberian edits supremo James Rod takes the lazy hazy beats of the original, plumps and pumps them, adds in washes of reverb, bubbly synths and a general feeling of mañana! 
No introductions needed for Ashley Beedle who takes the playfulness of the original vocal and adds a nice thick slice of deft Rhodes work and funk drumming. The outcome? A lazy day in 70’s San-Fran, looking at the Golden Gate bridge through an acid haze! 
Rubberlips' remix takes the original into big soundscape territory recalling Manc legends World Of Twist. The laid back vibe of the original is taken to a sun lounger for a cocktail and a psychedelic or two with added bass from Randy Martin.

The original and all remixes will be available both digitally and on limited edition vinyl (though huge initial interest means a possible repress) through Ramrock Red Records.

Artist: The Dissent
Title: ‘Trust in me’ EP (Trust in Me/Trust in Me (North Street Dub Mix)/Hypocrite/Trust in Me (Dr REY Melodica Dub)/Je Ne Veux Pas Quitter)
Label: Ramrock Records - RR004
Release date: Digital – June 2017/ Vinyl 12” – August 2017

Ramrock Records are proud to present The Dissent’s hypnotic Ghost Town-stylee EP which includes a re-working of the Jungle Book tune ‘Trust in Me’, dripping with righteous rage and venomous sarcasm about certain forked-tongued, Brexshit politicians (Trust in May?) and where they’re taking us. 

Is it a Mayday Mayday message – a call for help? Or is it a call to arms? Maybe it’s both. Due for Autumn release as a vinyl 12” single (48 revolutions per minute!), Ramrock Records are rushing it to radio ahead of schedule to lend the voice of The Dissent to the run-up to disMay on the 8th June. Dub remixes from the don, Ashley Beedle and the mysterious Dr REY, plus the addition of the Dissent’s version of the mighty Heptones ‘Hypocrite’ lend gravitas to the selection for DJs to air their discontent.

Who are The Dissent?
This fairly anonymous, yet eclectic collective comprises members of Trip Hop instigators and early Ashley Beedle collaborators Marden Hill, Hedkandi Acid Loungers 45 Dip, Goldliner and Big Beat supremos Beamish & Fly along with ad hoc contributions from various well-known street artists, writers and painters whose names we’re not at liberty to divulge.

Following hot on the heels of his hugely successful 12” ‘Where did the party go’ with Mr Bird (Juno Records – Single of the Week/ Mi-Soul Radio - A listed/ Craig Charles ‘Funk & Soul’ show’ etc) on Ramrock Blue Records, Greg is back with another of his own compositions but this time, he’s solo. ‘Never trust another man again’ is a brooding, expressive social commentary delivered with vocals dripping with melancholy soul. The original clean/explicit versions will be available on Ramrock Blue 7” vinyl whereas Ashley Beedle’s haunting jazz North Street Remix featuring brass virtuoso, Duncan Mackay on trumpet & the Stripped Back Remix will only be available as part of the digital EP.

In March 2017, Rag N Bone Man posted a video on Facebook of him playing Greg’s track on his car stereo which garnered 46K hits to Greg’s Bandcamp account in 2 days!!

Greg Blackman is known for his unforgettable voice, his powerful songwriting and his passionate approach to his subject matter. His work has been played extensively on BBC Radio, featured on the NME website, played on MTV and reviewed extremely favourably in Blues & Soul Magazine. His voice can be heard on music from BBE Records, Agogo Records, Bombstrikes and Jalapeno Records.



•	Number 1 selling artist Rag N Bone Man was heard to say on his Facebook page:
"This dude is so sick! Get to know!"
•	Craig Charles live on his Funk & Soul Show said GB was:
"...fast becoming one of the best in the business!"


•	Jamie Callum while broadcasting said of GB's song ‘Save Me’:
"In my opinion this should be permanently playlisted!"



Prepare to be blown away by the EPIC soulfulness that is ‘Never Trust Another Man Again’ by Greg Blackman – trust me – you will never be the same again. After years of carbon copies, it's finally time to feel the power of ‘The Real Thing’, and your very own green-eyed soul boy GB is here to bring exactly that.

Ashley Beedle is one of the pioneers of Global dance music. A man with so many different musical hats it's 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 AKA's and pseudonyms as a Wu-Tang Clan MC. A true inspiration to many of today's crop of DJ's and producers, including us here at Girls Music HQ.

So it is with great pleasure and pride that Girls Music can announce the release of Yardism Vol.1. A 4 track EP of real class, conception and execution. This is brilliant, relevant, modern British dance music delivered with style by one of the true originals of the scene. Ashley delves into his sound system roots to weld reggae's massive influence on contemporary bass culture, straight outta Yard and straight onto today's peak time Jump-up-acid-house dancefloors. Braaaap!



Ashley Beedle - Yardism EP SAMPLER

Glenn Davis returns to F*CLR for his 3rd EP on the label and all I can say is that this EP is an absolute killer. It’s been almost impossible to keep the lid on this house track of epic proportions for the last 12 months. Simple, effective and deadly, Ashley Beedle dropped the original on dubplate at one of the now legendary ‘Heavy Disco’ parties at the beginning of 2020 and the crowd lost their minds. Shazam went into meltdown and nobody could find the answer!

Glenn’s original harks back to the halcyon days of classic New York house - think Masters at Work, think Kerri Chandler, think Tony Humphries, think ‘category is taking it to church’. This is what ballroom beats are all about – attitude, realness and taking no prisoners. It really is a thing of beauty and has already gone into the realms of ‘classic’ with all the heads who have had the dubplate. It is the distillation of everything good about true house music – it remains faithful to the early pioneers’ vision of what they hoped house music would become.

Once again, the ‘North Street’ crew, Ashley Beedle, Darren Morris and Jo Wallace, flip the script on their ‘North Street West’ remix of ‘Special’ and inject a late 80’s toughness into the groove while bringing it bang up to date with chopped beats, nasty piano and a jacking tempo that ‘werks’ Glenn’s original track.

Here’s the link to pre-order the limited vinyl on Bandcamp https://fclrmusic.bandcamp.com/album/fclr012-glenn-davis-special-ep
