Defected Radio Show: Armand Van Helden Takeover - 20.10.23 

Thanks to DJs like Armand van Helden, I'm still alive today. When I was deployed abroad during my time in the army between 2000 and 2008, thinking there was only crap out there and wondering why bother living on, it was house music that repeatedly helped me escape the negativity around me - that is clearly a proof that God is a DJ - thnak you Armand !!!

The mix temporarily makes me 20 years younger. Wild times 🕺 💃

As a NYC, DJ and Promoter Armand had the mid to late 90’s - 2000 dance floors on fire. 🔥

Legendary Sounds.

I have been listening to Armand since the 90s. He is the KING of remixes! I have always dreamed of singing on one Armand’s tracks. Grew up in Detroit and then moved to Chicago when House was on fire! Would love to see him at the annual Chicago House Music picnic 😊😊. So many classics in this mix!

This man is a LEGEND!

Some disco ANTHEMS in here! 🤩

Absolutely incredible set! One of the best ever.... been a pleasure to have such a DJ. Fantastic, fantastic

Aaaaaaalright alright alright! Armand in the house at the best Defected ever! Happy weekend all

Wow what a setlist. Really takes me back ❤️🏠🎵

Armand The greatest..best house ever from morroco

One of the GOATS! 🐐

Love for the house music

Armand is great!😀 This is a LEGEND! His music has hooked me since the old albums of Hed Kandi.. 🌟 What about the sound? 🔇🛑❗ It often disappears or the volume drops significantly for 1-2 seconds. It's very hard on the ears. Fix please! 🙏

Killer set

Oh yeah!! Memories of the old school Armand!! Welcome sir!!

Great set but this is ruined by the sound cuts, the mic was not muted and automatically triggering due to background from people singing along in the studio

Ok😊.....I know what we're playing later babe....🥳🥳

At the time when these tracks were hot, I discovered my love for House and never lost it again. I miss those times when House was still so awesome and track after track was a banger.
