Armand Van Helden kun on kuitenkin maailman kallein dj...
[/q]
Kaksi sanaa : höpö höpö.
Mutta itse Heldenin tuominen on äärimmäinen kulttuuriteko, puoli euroa fikkaan siitä.

"Nokian VJ-studio toimii vain PC-tietokoneilla ja Internet Explorer -selaimella"

Katu-uskottavat AD:t käyttää PC:tä ja IE:tä siis.

Kukas olisi vielä kalliimpi? Tieston ainakin luulisin tietäväni tulleen halvemmalla Suomeen kuin mitä Armandista huudetaan.
edit: Eipä taida tässä olla muuten luulo tiedon väärti.

Kyllä Armandi on kallein.
Hyvänä kakkosena taitaa olla Deep Dish
ja vasta kolmantena tai neljäntenä oli Tiesto.
Fatboy Slim kuulu myös johonkin väliin mutta en enää muista menikö se ennen vai jälkeen Deep Dishiä...

*muhaha**muhaha**muhaha**muhaha*
Sainpas tehtyä tuotoksen vaati vaan internetexploreriin siirtymistä, pirun activex
Jaahas vai järjestetään sitä bileet kaikille VJ:lle. Tässähän on ideaa sitten jatkossakin, kun tulee näitä ulkomaan staroja. Pistetään pystyy jotkut piirtämis- ja lauluskabat ja parhaat pääsee bileisiin! Loistava idea...

Ainakin nokia uskaltaa käyttää rahaa uusien laitteiden mainostamiseen. Armand Van Helden kun on kuitenkin maailman kallein dj...
[/q]
Eräässä lehdessä oli vähän aikaa sitten juttua kuinka Nokia oli kutsunut 100 toimittajaa Algeriaan seuraamaan uuden kännykkämallinsa esittelyä. Suomesta paikalla oli mm. Image lehti. Cateringin tähän tapahtumaan hoiti maailman parhaaksi valittu ravintola Lontoosta maailman huippugastronomineron johdolla. Tämän takia ko. ravintola, johon on kuukausien jonot oli viikon kiinni. Että tuskin yksi Armand Lohikoski kauheasti tuntuu.
Joo luulen kans että yks dj-buukkaus tuskin vielä vie nokiaa konkurssikierteeseen.

big time party, ei kantsi narista, nämä pojat osaa järkkää kemuja.
Täytyy olla tyytyväinen että lähtee just tona päivänä Berliinin kautta "etelään". Ihme pelleilyä, tosin jos Heldeni soittaa seteissä hip hoppia, niin oikeesti vitutti enemmän kun missasin Foo Fightersin sillon 2 v. sit kun tän lajin pelleilyt Hgissä alko.
Ja eikös maailman kallein dj of all time ollu Carl Cox, joka sai kahdesta eri millennium-keikasta päivämäärärajan molemmin puolin yhden vuorokauden sisällä yht. millin (en muista oliko puntaa vai dollaria)?
ARMAND VAN HELDEN 2005
You know Armand Van Helden, right? The self-styled bad boy of house, the man with a mountain-size ego, the six-pack framed poser with his joke of an Ali G-like pencil beard, the money-hunger remixer who famously cleared the dancefloor at Space, who really wants to make hip-hop, but cant.
You know Armand Van Helden, right? The same Armand Van Helden that doesnt own a flat, or a car, who chooses to walk around his adopted home of New York, rather than chug about in a chrome-plated SUV. The homeboy who was championing the raw, energetic, fun sound of hip-house long before it became a fashion accessory. The straight-talking, no-nonsense trainspotter who still spends hours thumbing through thrift stores in search of tunes to sample, the music fan that owns thousands of rock records. You what?
I love classic rock, says the 33-year old producer. I love digging in the crates. If youre going to make music then youve got to know music. But I wont pay more than a dollar for the classics. Thats my whole thing. Its about the digging aspect, the challenge - the fun of it. The Steve Millar Band, Led Zeppelin, Blondie
I could go on about my favourite rock music all day long. If youre a house head, true at heart, and you dont like the White Stripes then youre out of your head. The groove, the bass..it is house music. Now rocks fun again and its making the club scene fun. I think were going to find a balance between house and rock.
Yes, Armands been less than complimentary about dance music in the past. Yes, hes sometimes indulged in his own fantasies and come up short with underwhelming house and hip-hop concept albums. Yes, he pissed off several hundred European clubbers in Ibiza. And, yes, he has been as he admits cheap at times.
I can be blunt and aggressive, he concedes. I dont have a lot of sarcasm in my conversation. Im not all Mr Funny. In fact, Im always dead to the point. But thats because I have a deep love of what I do and Im not playing games.
And yet beyond the misconceptions rest the tunes themselves, a lasting legacy of house music master strokes that are so brazen they virtually slap you in the chops and command you to swing your hips and shuffle your feet.
And they stretch back virtually as far as his career itself.
A b-boy at heart, Armands move toward house was geared by both an open admiration for Todd Terrys aggressive cut-and-paste dynamics and a passion for the late 80s hip-house of the Jungle Brothers, Tyree and Fast Eddie.
One of the good aspects of hip-house was that it was lyrical, he says now. It had a great impact on people. Those records are still memorable now.
After spending his childhood at army bases in Europe before settling in Boston, it was hip-houses mix and match ethos that provided the basis for the tough, sample-heavy cuts with the citys X-Mix Productions outfit that first drew attention his way. By 1992 he had become both promoter and DJ for the after-hours Loft club and made his solo debut Stay On My Mind/The Anthem for New Yorks Nervous records.
It wasnt long before the call came from the then-dominant Strictly Rhythm stable, via whom Armand soon built up a rock-solid fan base with both English and American DJs, thanks to a stream of tuff club cuts including 1994s Witchdoktor EP - that amplified tribal houses template and sounded devastating on the dancefloor of the best club in world, the Sound Factory.
Then came the Armand basslines. You know, the ones that fused jungles colossal sub-bass with razor-edged, steel-rimmed beats and virtually commanded your arse to kindly make its way to the dancefloor: Tory Amos Professional Widow (a UK number 1 back in 1996), Sneaker Pimps Spin Spin Sugar, CJ Bollands Sugar Is Sweeter and Nu Yorican Souls Its Alright, I Feel It!
I have attention deficit syndrome, he laughs by way of explanation. I get bored quick.
In a sea of faceless artists, Armand floated adrift by a mile, and the UKs dance music media promoted him as a superstar. FFRR signed him up thinking theyd found a new wallet lining. Expectations were raised. But while Armand embraced the attention behind the scenes he continued to do what hed always done, make beats.
In 1999 one of them You Dont Know Me reached number 1 in the British pop charts. A top-drawer house album 2 Future 4 U followed with Armand continuing to mixup styles. He continued to dent the UK charts too, with club crossover hits like Flowerz, Koochy (a top 5 hit in 2000) and Why Cant You Free Some Time? While as a remixer, Armand turned tricks for a string of platinum-selling artists, including Puffy, Janet and the Stones.
Just when it looked like house musics star had fallen from grace, one of the worlds most sought-after DJs returned in 2004 with a bang. A two year hiatus was over. His mix album, New York: A Mix Odyssey on Southern Fried was the first outburst. Fusing Armands passion for the rock and house scene of downtown New York, its cut-and-paste party dynamic received a rave reaction. Two huge singles, Hear My Name and My My My followed and left dancefloors and radio stations quivering in their wake.
Now in 2005, Armand Van Helden releases a new album. The natural next step. Incredibly Nympho is Armands first proper artist album for five years. Its been worth the wait. Times may have changed, but it seems Armands instinctual knack for soaking up various musical influences and spitting them out again in the form of an undeniably gut-wrenching killer track hasnt. One listen to this new album, the undeniable feeling is still the same. The same as it ever was. Armands music is the sound of someone having FUN. Answering their calling. Enjoying what they do best.
Before I go make a song I listen to some old records, he says. Sometimes I dont even know who the artist is. Sometimes the cover just looks good yknow, with the dudes with the skinny leather ties you just know that gotta be some good 80s shit.
I just do what I feel, Armand continues. Honestly when I wake up in the afternoon usually I love to make music in my studio. That is the number one thing in my life. Everything else is secondary. I love to lay down whatever is in my head to get what ever is in my head out there into the public eye.
Armand a true original.
