His innovative approach and infectious beats have earned him a loyal following worldwide.

“We are delighted to be offering Armand Van Helden as a headliner for our brand-new dance music initiative, Summer Sessions,” said Anthony Coleridge, Head of Events at Chelmsford City Racecourse. “Armand is a global superstar in the dance music world, having such a strong back catalogue of hits including ‘You Don’t Know Me, My My My and his incredible work as a remixer for Tori Amos, Kim English and more. His Duck Sauce project also delivered hit after hit.
