    Love hearing about his reason for starting to make House music. His track 'You Don't Know Me' was the reason I began making music. Taped it from a Pete Tong show and played it on repeat on my personal stereo on my paper round the next day. Been DJing and making music ever since. Even though I'm still a long way off being a well-known musician (that is to say - you don't know me 😉) I still feel successful just he he says - because this music makes me very happy. Music is the answer. Thank you Armand!

    Every DJ should pay homage to this guy he did real Sh*t some of the best remixes and some great original music hits of his own too stuff that is still even in 2023 way better than any of the top DJ's music today or even of the last 15-20 years, if you have good taste then you know what I am talking about if your don't then you dont.

    4:32 This was EXACTLY my experience. I thought house was dumb. Then I went to a house party in a frat house and when i walked in the dj was playing a remix of Prince "I want to be your lover" ABSOLUTE FIRE MIX. Now im a house head for life.

    AVH is unique because he is a DJ that somehow managed to appeal to heads and the mainstream alike. almost impossible to do. his tracks are cheesy, but incredibly infectious. As an underground dance music dj, i have a few singles of his output, and no matter how deep and obscure you play, his tracks still work. It's a beautiful thing, and I am happy for him.

    Legendary. I remember finding his remix of Tori Amos professional window I think in 1996 or seven. One of the happiest days of my life couldn’t believe I found it. I think I want a couple copies on vinyl still and I also will randomly play it here and there at parties and it will work so good. Yeah this man is a legend.
