ARCHIVE

Dive deep into the world of electronic dance music and it’s rich history across the genre spectrum, focusing on the pioneering, influential American scenes and the modern scenes that follow their blueprint today, from the Mojave Desert to the Hudson Valley, with Headphones Girl.

Headphones Girl is a musician, archivist, DJ, producer, organizer, record label owner/operator, and raver from Los Angeles, California, and is currently based in Catskill, New York, where she is a resident DJ and organizer at The Avalon Lounge. She runs a multi-faceted collective called Earthlings Radical Audio, which functions as a record label and a rave, largely focusing on queer DJs and producers who play and create forward-thinking dance music with a traditionalist ethos, recontextualizing sounds of the 90’s for modern dancefloors.

Her diverse, expansive sound is informed both by the UK hardcore continuum, and by the history of her locales, both back home in the Los Angeles and San Francisco rave scenes that brought the renegade sound system culture to the states, and the highly-celebrated New York City house music and club scene.
