Armando Gallop Mixes

Another classic Armando mix, probably recorded by a fan off the radio on Chicago's legendary WBMX in 1987 or 1988. Armando at his rawest, most uncompromising. Acid House on FM Radio.

This mix was originally posted (as far as we know) on Deep House Page as a Real Audio file (remember those?) Their mix archives have gone down, but we converted this to mp3 years ago for our own use, and this seems like a sensible time to give it new life. It's rough in the beginning and overall poor quality, which is kind of the reality with many old mixtapes. But something gets through somehow...

Back in 2008, 5 Magazine published a tribute to one of Chicago House Music's legendary figures: DJ, producer, promoter, and Warehouse Records label founder Armando Gallop (aka DJ Armando). Including interviews with friends such as Paul Johnson, Mike Dunn, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Terry Hunter, Eric Martin as well as fans, this remains one of the most popular features we've ever done. You can read it at 5chicago.com/armando In tribute to Armando, this is a feature from our New Mix Monday DJ Mix series taken from Armando's '90s mixtape called "Tales from the Trackside". The mp3 was originally transferred and cleaned up from cassette tape by Rees Urban. DL: 5chicago.com/new-mix-monday/ar...ndo-020810.html
