I would hate to call it a comeback. But lets just say that Armand Van Helden is back in a big way. Recently remixing Britney Spears and Basement Jaxx, Armand comes out with the lead single off his new album “New York: A Mix Odyssey”. There is something I didn’t know that I feel the need to share with you. Spalding Rockwell is not just one person, but it’s two girls who call themselves Spalding Rockwell, as their real names are Nicole and Emile. You can thank the Tommy Boy Newsletter for that otherwise the majority of us wouldn’t have thought twice unless you saw them perform at the BBC Radio 1 Party at Nikki Beach Club during the Winter Music Conference. This new single is about as wicked as he gets with funky sounding guitar riffs and a heavy bass. As far as mixes go I personally feel the Original Mix is the way to go. It’s getting the majority of the play, especially with Music Choice and Planet Dance on Sirius Satellite Radio leading the way. Depending on the vinyl or CD you get between Southern Fried and Tommy Boy the other remixes include Linus Loves Remix and Dub, Solid Groove’s Hear My Rub and Hear My Dub Mixes and Serge Santiago Remix closes out the mixes with this single.
This single is already being spun by some of the biggest DJ’s in the world and is a solid hit on many charts across the globe. Summer is upon us and we are all waiting to see which songs or tracks we will be hearing throughout the hot sizzling months. This one will definitely be in everyone’s crates.
