Whenever you hear the name Armand van Helden, for some reason you can't help but associate it with deep and funky basslines and kick ass house music. I sure as hell hoped that Armand van Helden would turn Home Nightclub upside down... and he did. [more]
It didn't matter to me that it was bloody cold, that it was a Friday after a long week at work and that I was wearing a nurse's uniform in the middle of Oxford Street. For the third year in a row Clean and Serene was being turned on its head and I for one was of a Dirty and Delirious mood. [more]
