Oh no i found that and much more, but just as you said not working. I mean come one you really think he would have his site on a AOL members page. i would hope he would think of himself as being a bit more popular where having a proper page would be manditory. i guess not...

when i spoke to him at crobar a few months ago he was ver vocal about the lack of great crowds in nyc. And then pointed to the main room during the grammy party and said "SEE WHAT I MEAN" "NYC ONLY LIKES THE POPULAR CHEESE AND HARD CRAP" i was like sooooooo true lol and we talked some more about music adn styles and how europe seems to understand HOUSE more than america. And how he wishesthing would be a bit different over here, and how there needs to be more MUSIC ONLY OWNERS club. And just as he made that comment 2 porn stars or stripper looking women walked in and our eyes were on them for the moment.

Way to stick up for your city....

Aren't you the one that says time and again nyc is a house town? Why didn't you tell him about all the places you go and see/listen to house djs instead of bashin' on our city. Maybe you should move to Europe where they understand house better.....

I doubt seriously if there will ever be anymore music only clubs. The trend seems to be and has been for a while, the bottle service stuff. Even in the big rooms like Crobar, Spirit, etc...its all about VIP these days. Which is too bad but what can you do??

It sucks but they realized they can make alot more money this way.

yep...in any case, fuck Armin Van Helden. If that's what he thinks he can kiss my ass, wouldn't pay money to go see him now, way too many better things going on...this is all assuming the hobbit's quotes are accurate

Fuck that you can't hate on Armand. How many amazing productions has he had over the years.

I wouldnt call his productions "amazing". I would call them popular.

Musically, they are not that special, and as a DJ, the many times I have seen him, I have not been blown away at all.

He has talent and skill, but I think he gets sweated on too much for the cheese that he too often makes.

Why can't I hate on him, he hated on nyc first so he can get bent. Never said anything about his dj/production skills. Don't like the fact that, as far as I could find out, he's never spun here so how/why should he judge us as cheesy music lovers....again, he can go fuck himself sideways with a cow proder

Yah, I'm DEFINETLY going to make this one! Surprised its not a sticky.

Its an album release party for his forthcoming album "Nympho" on Southern Fried Records. (Which I believe is owned by Fat Boy Slim). I've heard the first single "Into your Eyes" and its HOT. It has a similiar groove like his hit track "My My My" from last year.

I'm REALLY hoping he shows up to this. He flaked out on 2 shows in NYC the past year or so. He was billed to play at Centro-Fly's closing party but for reasons unknown he didnt make it and Junior Sanchez filled in for him. Then he was the headliner for this rave at Hammerstein on Memorial Day weekend last year but he backed out I hear due to the promoters not offering him enough money.

NEway, I last caught him in 2001 for a night he did at the Roxy and it was fantastic. But to be honest, I've heard some lackluster sets from him in the past. I'll NEVER forget the night he did at Sound Factory previewing tracks from 2 Future for U; hearing "You Don't Know Me", "Flowers" and "Psychic Bounty Killaz" for the first time totally blew me away.
