Longtime New York DJ, producer and member of Duck Sauce alongside A-Trak, Armand Van Helden is prepping his Masterpiece. Masterpiece is a compilation collection from the club/label Ministry Of Sound that tabs legends in electronic music to put together a collection of tracks that speak to the artists on different levels creatively. Armand Van Helden has crafted a three-disc CD that travels through the various periods of his life musically, according to a press release.
Disc one, The Loft - Boston is where he got his start playing old school house records and that is reflected in the mix. Yacht Exploration goes back to the beginning when he was a young child listening to his parent's records that varied from rock to pop. He is known as a gifted DJ and the third segment, Freestyle Forever, shows off his roots in the discipline of freestyling as he selects some of the early tracks he might play
The compilation will be released Feb. 15, 2015 on Ministry of Sound. You can pre-order it on iTunes and listen to the minimix below. Check out the full tracklist to see every tune on the three-disc compilation.
