LIFE BE LIFIN (cry$cross garage remix)

Baltimore x Jersey x Ghetto House feel. I made this for all my club heads. My first time making something like this but I really got a love for Club music growing up in New Jersey and seeing it come to the world is amazing but I always will give respect and homage to where it came from. People like Frank Ski, Rod Lee, DJ Technics, DJ Boobie, K-Swift, Miss/Big Tony and many more who helped put Baltimore Club music on the map as far as my Jersey people go shoutout to DJ Tameil, Tim Dolla (RIP), DJ Wallah and many more. Respect to Dance Mania, Ray Barney, the late great Paul Johnson, DJ FUNK (RIP), Traxman, DJ Deeon (RIP), Jammin' Gerald, Slugo and many more too! Special shoutout to my friend V for being one of the people keeping Jersey Club authentic! RIP D'ANGELO!

DIS SUM GUD DIK!

X-FILES: EPISODE 3

Higher Than Flee

My first vinyl mix in a minute. For some reason I've been feeling very nostalgic of the late 80s and early 90s New Jersey and Baltimore scenes. Maybe because I have been posting a lot of content about Club Zanzibar, Paradise Garage, The Paradox, and Odell's on my TikTok (@armando_x_music). Either way I am happy to share this mix with y'all. And like I said it's my first vinyl mix in a minute. So be easy on me  :) !

X-FILES EPISODE 4

In our first episode of Raw Club Archives - Baltimore Club veteran, DJ, engineer & producer Mr. 14th gives RAW CLUB ARCHIVES an in depth interview of partying in the early 2000s Baltimore Club scene where he frequented legendary clubs like The Paradox while doing an audio engineering internship at  Above Ground Studios, getting a behind the scenes vantage point of the Baltimore Club scene. Mr. 14th also discusses his DJ career, his advice for up and coming DJs and the current state of Baltimore Club. This IS RAW CLUB ARCHIVES.

Our first guest, Mr. 14th sends us through a vortex into the world of early 2000s Baltimore with a mix that transcends time and space and creates a continuum that can only be solved by dancing your ass off until your clothes are soaking wet!

ARMANDO X. fka DJ DS is a New Jersey-born DJ, vocalist, and producer whose musical lineage comes from a long line of New Jersey based Soulful House producers, DJs and vocalists from the likes of Romanthony, Tony Humphries, Kerri Chandler, & JoVonn. 

Now based in Richmond, X. cut his teeth in New York City's underground scene, holding vinyl residencies at 320 Club and Hi-Note Radio while spinning at basement parties, low lit lofts, and after hours spaces across the city.

His sound blends disco melodies, Roland drum machines, raw vocals, and gritty edits that leave people on the dancefloor in a sweat drenched trance. Sexy, percussive, and unpredictable, ARMANDO X. builds dance floors that feel like a church in a basement - all body, no judgment - where everyone is welcome. 

Whether it’s a nostalgic disco edit or a hypnotic deep house track, his sets are built for movement, memory, and emotional release. What you hear is healing. What you feel is freedom.
