| 词条 | Armando (producer) |
| 释义 |
Armando was born in Chicago to parents of Afro-Cuban descent. He was a star baseball player as a youngster before spinal meningitis put an end to his athletic aspirations. He became interested in dance music, organizing parties by age 16 and mixing on radio by age 17.[1] He and Mike Dunn founded Musique Records and Warehouse Records in 1988, the latter releasing Armando's singles "151" and "Land of Confusion". "Land of Confusion" became a transatlantic club hit in Chicago as well as in Britain, where it influenced their early acid-house scene.[1] He also produced Warehouse releases from Ron Trent, DJ Rush, and Robert Armani. Instead of working on production, Armando spent most of the early 1990s with a residency at Chicago's Warehouse from 1992 to 1994. He served as an A&R rep for Felix da Housecat's Radikal Fear label and, soon afterward, recorded for that label himself. His first and only full-length album, One World, One Future, was released in 1996 on Play it Again, Sam. Armando died of leukemia shortly after the album's release.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 [{{Allmusic|class=artist|id=p52424/biography|pure_url=yes}} Armando] at Allmusic [https://web.archive.org/web/20100802064252/http://www.5chicago.com/armando/index.html The Armando Project: An Oral History from Armando's friends and fans] {{US-electronic-musician-stub}}{{Authority control}} 7 : 1970 births|1996 deaths|American house musicians|Musicians from Chicago|American people of Cuban descent|PIAS Recordings artists|20th-century American musicians |
