Reading your description to this mix I couldn't help think of how these very same tracks played an integral part in deepening my Love for this genre. I have tapes from the early 90's that include at 16 of these trax in the same set. Good times……….. CARLOSCOLOGNE

I liked Armand more when he was on the Nervous/Strictly deep house tip. I wasn't really into the big pop remixes he did like Sneaker Pimps etc. But I really liked Entra Mi Casa. I rocked the shit out of that record.

Armand van Helden rocks. His track, Entra mi Casa, is perhaps my fav from him. I saw him live with Bad Boy Bill, Tall Paul and the Crystal Method at The Docks club on the shores of Lake Ontario in downtown Toronto by the Harbour front around 2001 or 2002. Awesome vibe.

Oh btw, I am running a Myspace page which is dedicated to the legendary FRONT club in Hamburg, Germany which existed between 1983 and 1998. It had been the first real House club in continental Europe and people such as Master At Work, Tony Humphries, the Murks, Robert Owens and other spun there between 1990 and 93. On my page I have at least 10 sets from around the same time which are extremely close to Armand’s set stylewise. If you like the above set then you should check out the page at Myspace.com/FrontHamburg
Sorry – don’t wanna spam around but I thought I’d let you know if you love that kind of music – 1992 had been the Best year in House music anyway :^)

18:43 = Happy Mondays – Stinkin’ Thinkin’ (Junior Style Mix)
41:22 = Martha Wash – Carry On (Masters At Work Dub Mix)
57:44 = J. – Keep The Promise (MK Deeb Dub)

Funnily enough all vinyls that I submitted on Discogs years ago :^)

Fantastic set by the way – thanx a bunch for this!

Great mix. It was the house music from this era that got me hooked. I still have my gold loft card (in a shoe-box).

Good stuff here. Good memories. The Loft was the bomb. Best parts of this mix are toward the end when he goes from Latin House to Handbag House to Diva House. Armand’s got chops.

Hey Shannon,

Nice to see these memories preserved. I found your page through an article about a space I used to throw parties in with the Cabrera Brothers that then got took over by some MIT cats. Obviously Redlight was mentioned as the space had been in Chinatown as well.
Those were some heady days in the early 90’s. So glad I was there to see the music develop and evolve. Erry once in a while I’ll break out the trance crate and make a tape, uh mix, and it never passes muster as I think back and compare it too the trance sets you rocked. You really set a bar for me with that extra smooth mixing style and impeccable track selection.
I hope life is good for you.
Peace
Respect
