Armand Van Helden`s Big NYC Beat
Artist:
Armand Van Helden
Armand Van Helden returns to conquer. NYC Beat is destined for big things.
One of dance music's biggest producers with a personality to match, Armand knows how to rock the dancefloor and shake the movers..
NYC Beat is a record with one foot in the past and another on the dancefloors of now. With a mahousive bottom end and a vocal sample that is guaranteed to get lodged in your head, it sports a fine array of remixes from MSTRKRFT, Emperor Machine and Detroit.
The video features apple bobbing and model Daisy Lowe, daughter of Pearl Lowe and Gavin Rossdale. See video links below...
Taken from Van Helden`s new album Ghettoblaster, which is an unapologetic throwback to dance music`s joyous infancy.
As the man himself puts it: `On this album I was going for a retro throwback 1985-89 soul up-tempo urban type sound. Chicago meets Miami meets New York City kind of thing. Or to put it differently, house meets freestyle meets hip-house meets club meets new wave.`
So get your sweat bands on but maybe lose the leg warmers as this one's a stomper!!

The version that I'm playing most is the MSTRKRFT mix. I like the original but the MSTRKRFT re-rub is big for me at the moment. The Emperor Machine mixes are cool tool a bit jazzy which is cool.
