Armand Van Helden??

Armand Van Helden??

Was wondering if anyone has a picture of the that weird writing on armands album cover??

I have tried the usaual places, but on the back it has a translation from normal alphabet to weird alien wrting alphabet, this is what am after.

Thanx

remember that pile of records you moved from the van to my new house.


its in there somewhere. x

Whats the album name?

Killing Puritans. I fucking love that album, in my top ten i reckon.

He also uses the code thing on 2future4u EP, dunno if you'll have any better luck finding it through that?

www.cdcovers.cc is the best place for stuff like this :

is it not islamic?

he went through an islam phase around 2001 it soon stopped after 9/11.

Infact im nearly sure he was set to release an album arounf that time with a picture of him on the fron in full islamic dress?

is this better

It's just some code he made up i think.

Did go through a muslim-ish phase though, and i think the album Ghandi Khan either does, or was supposed to have, a picture of him on the cover in full islamic garb.

so he does! looks like a suicide bomber photom showing off his equipment. but there decks! oh, what a jape

poor album really.


AVH has been one of my fav dj's producers for a long time.

http://www.discogs.com/release/257401 is a quality album

production wise its got to be


Funk Phenomenon
Psycic Bounty Killers
Witch Doktor
Sugar Is Sweeter
You Dont Know Me

Don't think he's done any weak stuff, it's just not always what people expect/want to hear, still quality production though. He's from a mainly hip hop background anyway.

the whole hip hop thing i thought was really cool.


i've always liked dj's with a fuck you im going to play good records attitude.

who the fuck wants to hear the same thing for 2 1/2 hours.

i think its cool ndall, wot did he do at space? did he start playin hip hop?

he played three hip hop tunes.

i think brandon block and alex p were playing after? so that says it all about the crowd really.

takes balls to do that in somewhere like space tho, infront of a crowd like that you wouldnt know wot to expect.

You famously cleared the dance floor at Space with a hip-hop set, can you tell us about that set?
“it’s kinda true, but kinda not. I’ve learnt something from little things like that, I’m so happy that it happened in the first place cause it was kinda like my intention. I’m just learning about how people’s perceptions are manipulated when you have a big story (because I always get asked about it). I learned now that it’s a conversation piece – so people can ask, can hip-hop and house live as one? That’s the question. I don’t know I was thinking of all that when I did it.
What is was, (I’ll try and make this the shortest version I can do, cause it’s not really short). I played 3 hours of house (I’m chilling), I always bring and on occasions I drop a few hip-hop records and it’s not the first time I played hip-hop at Space on the Terrace, it’s actually the 3rd / 4th time I have, it’s just that the times I played it, it was when TLC ‘No Scrubs’ came out, it was all hot (No 1 in the UK), there was no booing - it was only love for TLC, then I played Aleia and then I played a hip-hop record and then I went back to the house set - 3 little things smashed in the middle and nobody had nothing to say, Perceptions are definitely funny.

At the end of the day, my friend is there, we’re all hanging out Morales is there, having a good time getting in to New York mode, I like “fuck it I’m tired of playing house, I’m gonna play hip-hop” – this is who I am anyway. So I play and everything is fine, 15-20 minutes almost 30 minutes go buy, there was a drag-queen kept coming up to the booth, telling me to cut off the music (she, well he/she whatever works there) “What are you doing, this is not what this is about?” they’re saying something to me. “I’m like whatever – I’m gonna go back to house, just give me a little bit to go in to a little thing here”, so they went and got the person that runs Space on the Terrace he was like “Yo – your off!” and My friend was in the booth, the next record I had on was the ‘Thong Song’ (it was my friend’s favourite song and he’s was drunk), he’s in the booth next to me saying ‘boo’, booing that I had to leave - and so he’s encouraging the crowd to boo, he wanted to hear his ‘Thong Song.’ There you go.

There was some people, the floor did dissipate that’s the truth, the truth is I did get booed and the truth is at Space the floor did somewhat empty out, so they’re both right but they’re not right in that context.”


All they NY dj's do that......

fair play to the bloke, he had the courage to do it. i rekon he has made enough of a name for himself already, he doesnt exactly have to proove himself anymore, he just wanted to try a different sound

Cheers guys, james il pop round for that record if thats ok?

SOrry i hung up on your before, i was driving to work
