Ar Ais Arís (AAA) is an electronic music night providing a safe space for counter-culture in Galway, on the west coast of Ireland. It combines DIY approaches with high production values through art, graphic design, venue decor & lighting, and high-end soundsystems. The night places a strong emphasis on inclusivity, diversity and safety.

AAA is very proud to announce the launch of a dedicated label. The first release is a compilation featuring five tracks from producers associated with Ireland's bass music underground and the AAA club night itself.

Since its inception, Ar Ais Arís (AAA) has fostered a welcoming space for counter-culture expression while prioritizing inclusivity, diversity, and safety. The launch of the AAA label represents a natural progression, providing a platform for predominantly Irish electronic music producers.

The debut release features a five-track compilation showcasing the talent and innovation within Ireland’s underground bass music scene:

- Doubt, co-founder of Cork's Dose clubnight and a key figure behind the Flood label, delivers a hard-drum soundtrack to an air-raid on 'Laced Up'.

- PlusOne's 'Bonk' is a dynamic, bouncy 4x4 track infused with his signature art-pop sound design, and boundless energy, as club-ready as they come.

- Fresh off a breakthrough year in 2023, Sloucho's 'WAKEUPHAPPY' is a dark and glitchy 160 number with twisted, pithced vocals and frantic percussion.

- Dublin icon and Club Comfort co-founder, Roo Honeychild, comes through delivers "Operations of Grace," a dreamy jersey-club-inspired composition.

- Finally, Leipzig-based Galway export, Free House co-founder and egg-pink afficiando Luke Kiid draws on grime and UK Funky sounds on the cheekiest of flips of Hazey's Packs and Potions.
