Armando Gallop was one of Chicago's early house music artists and most notable contributors to the development of acid house. His raw and stripped down productions, including classics like 'Land Of Confusion' and '100% Of Disin' U' set the tone for Chicago's second wave of 'ghetto house' artists like Paul Johnson and Robert Armani. On December 17, 1996, at only 26 years of age, Armando tragically passed away from leukaemia.

The Album Trax Classix
was reviewed:
Armando's death at 26 was one of Chicago house music's biggest tragedies, yet his memory lives on in his insanely rough and energetic acid house classics that inspired a Generation of techno producers. Included here are all our favourites like 'Land Of Confusion', 'Trance Dance', and of course '100% Of Disin' U'. |
