Adventures of Stevie V is a British dance music group from Bedfordshire, England. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, they achieved several hits on the UK Singles Chart and the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, most famously with their song “Dirty Cash (Money Talks).”
The group was formed by producer Steve Vincent, previously part of the Brit-funk band Touchdown. The lineup included Vincent, Mick Walsh, and vocalist Melody Washington. Their biggest success came from “Dirty Cash (Money Talks),” a dance hit from 1990 that made waves on pop radio, reaching No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart and peaking at No. 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Following this success, they released an album titled *Adventures of Stevie V*, which produced two more charting singles: “Body Language,” which entered the UK Top 40, and “Jealousy,” which found success on both the UK and US charts.
The iconic song “Dirty Cash (Money Talks)” is featured in the globally successful Netflix series *Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story*. This inclusion has sparked renewed interest in the original sold-out 7-inch version, resulting in millions of new streams and introducing the track to a new generation of fans worldwide. During the summer of 2024, prominent dance producer PAWSA started playing a newly updated version of the song in his DJ sets, showcasing it at events in Ibiza and across the globe throughout the summer and autumn. This collaboration quickly became a viral sensation, generating significant demand for an official release. In November 2024, Altra Moda Music officially released the collaboration titled “Dirty Cash (Money Talks)” by PAWSA and Adventures of Stevie V. Since its release, the track has become one of the standout cross-generational dance hits of 2025, amassing over 500 million combined streams and awarded Platinum status in the UK, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Gold status in Germany, Ireland and Australia.
