armando

An early acid-house pioneer while still in his teens, Armando contributed several classics to the Chicago canon during the mid-80s, including Land of Confusion and 100% of Dissin You. Born on Chicagos south side to Cuban immigrants, he was a star on the baseball field until spinal meningitis forced him out of the sport. To fill his time, he began spinning records and was organizing his own parties at the age of 16. One year later he was on the radio as well, subsituting for Farley Keith on Chicagos biggest dance show, the Hot Mix 5.
