Armand Van Helden releases Ghettoblaster

New York City-based DJ and producer Armand van Helden will release his sixth artist album, Ghettoblaster, in May through Fatboy Slim's Southern Fried Records.

The new LP is once again something different from what Van Helden produced in the past. In contrast to his last album, Nympho (2005), which focused mainly on electro-rock, Ghettoblaster is more soulful and hip-hop influenced. Guests on the LP include New York-based rappers Fat Joe and Will 'Tha Wiz' Lemay, Kudu, George Llanes, as well as vocalists Nicole Roux, Majida, and others.

The first single from the album, "Touch Your Toes" featuring Fat Joe, is out now as a limited 12" vinyl and digital download with remixes from Serge Santiago and The Audio Bootys.
