Armand Van Helden
Until he began branching out in 1996 with a barrage of album productions and remix classics (several of which were heard by more people than the originals), Armand Van Helden was one of the best-kept secrets in house music, recording for such labels as Strictly Rhythm, Henry St., Logic and ZYX. By the late '90s, a clutch of crucial remixes and several albums made Van Helden's name as one of the most popular producers around and his hit album Killing Puritans proved there was a mass audience for his stuff. Although he had remixed DeeLite a reworked version of Tori Amos' "Professional Widow" hit the clubs with the same impact as his "Witchdoktor" single. During 1996-97, Van Helden became the name for forward-thinking pop artists to recruit for remixing duty. His own-name singles productions continued unabated, with hits like "Cha Cha" and "The Funk Phenomena," plus the release of his first album Old School Junkies. Armand's Ibiza journey is a controversial one and shows how the anything goes of the Baleares has changed under the corporates - he was legendarily boo-ed off at Space for dropping too many Lil' kim records in a row 'you can't get away with that here mate' (Alex P).
