Deep in the night... it got a whole lot harder, darker and quite a bit quicker. After 25 years at this craft I have a collection of music that allows me to pick a crate based on my changing mood, and that of the dance floor..

A little old school techno and acid never hurt anyone?

As always, mixed on vinyl, live in one take using my 2 1200's and a Model 1.4 mixer with a Boss DD8 and Reverb.

I have always been an audiophile, that is the result of growing up with a father who has a thing for big sound, not such a bad trait to inherit. My love of sound grows from there, often as a child needing the music to be playing so I could occupy my mind as I fell asleep. 

In the late 90's (96/97) and I had my first experience with turntables and vinyl. I was hooked and in 1998 bought my first vinyl, and played actively till moving digital... through the 2010's I played with a fully digital setup, but gave up on chasing software updates... fast forward to 2024 and I am back to the pure analogue sounds of vinyl, the PlayDifferently Model 1.4 mixer and my trusted 1200s. 

From day one I have always been a techno fiend with my greatest influences coming from the London Acid Techno scene (SUF, Cluster, 4x4, etc), Sweden (Adam Beyer, Cari Lekebusch, etc) and probably the biggest influence being Richie Hawtin aka Plastikman and Detroit Techno. 

Armand-Emile is symbolic of who I am and my sound is a blend between House, Deep House, Tech House, Techno and Minimal ... some times even venturing into more progressive sounds.. It's all about the crowd and the dance floor and finding that groove.
