Armand Van Helden began DJing at the tender age of 15. He took up a DJ residency at the Loft, a top Boston nightclub in the 1990`s and soon released his first official single, a mix of Deep Creed's "Stay On My Mind" through Nervous Records. He has never looked back, quickly establishing himself as a top producer and remixer whose biggest commercial successes came from his remixes of the 1996 Tori Amos song "Professional Widow" (released on East West Records), which reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart in 1997 and his own track "U Don't Know Me (released on Ffrr Records)," which was Number 1 in the United Kingdom in 1999.
His first track to make the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart was "Witch Doktor," which made the top 5 in 1994, and led to opportunities to remix acts such as New Order, Deep Forest, Jimmy Somerville, Deee-Lite, and Faithless. However, it was the "Professional Widow" remix that established him and became a dance hit around the world as well as a number-one hit in the UK. Its success led to work remixing the Rolling Stones, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, and Puff Daddy, as well as Daft Punk and Sneaker Pimps, adding to his reputation as one of the world's top house-music musicians. Van Helden was the featured DJ in the Southern Fried tent at Get Loaded in the Park at Clapham Common on the August Bank Holiday in 2005. He treated concertgoers with an incredible mash-up set that is still spoken about today about being one of his best performances. In 2008, Van Helden gained enormous commercial success by remixing Inspire, a #1-hit song by Japanese pop star Ayumi Hamasaki.
Two of his songs, "My My My" (featuring a sample from Gary Wright's "Comin' Apart") and the Dark Garage Mix of the Sneaker Pimps' "Spin Spin Sugar," are featured in Dance Dance Revolution EXTREME 2. For an upcoming 2009 release, Van Helden has collaborated with UK rap artist Dizzee Rascal on a new single entitled 'Bonkers'.
