Armand Van Helden and Hairspray

Today I have some music for you by Armand Van Helden. Now this is a guy who has been around in the music industry for a very long time. Not many know him, but Armand Van Helden is one of the biggest influences in the New York electronic music scene. He works with all kinds of genres, from funk to R&B to hardcore EDM. What I find really cool about Armand Van Helden is that despite the fact that he has been such a presence in the music scene of the Northeast, his music still sounds underground. There are still so many elements of his music that sound really nice and underground, very unique and quirky. If you want further reference, there is a song by him that has gotten really popular. The name that he went by for that song though, is Duck Sauce. Go look it up, and you will know exactly which famous song I am talking about. But this song samples some older songs, songs which come from the 80's era of music. But he does so because of how rooted his music is in funk and groove jam
