Armand Van Helden, the undisputed master of house music, is set to bring his electrifying energy to Amber Lounge Monaco on May 25th. With a career spanning over three decades, Van Helden has delivered some of the most iconic dance anthems of all time, from the chart-topping You Don’t Know Me to club classics like I Want Your Soul, My My My, and I Need A Painkiller. Known for his genre-defying sound and effortless ability to reinvent dance music, his performance at this exclusive Grand Prix™ afterparty is set to be nothing short of legendary.
Born in Boston in 1970, Van Helden’s global upbringing—shaped by his father’s military career—exposed him to an eclectic range of influences, laying the foundation for his boundary-pushing approach to music. Since breaking onto the scene with Witch Doktor in 1994, he has dominated the dance floors with his signature blend of house, electro, and hip-hop-infused beats. His albums Nympho (2004) and Ghettoblaster (2007) solidified his status as a dance music powerhouse, while his Mix Odyssey series showcased his deep love for New York’s underground scene.
Despite his monumental success—including five Top 30 singles and over 150,000 copies sold of My My My—Van Helden remains refreshingly detached from industry trends. “I don’t live this scene—I dip in and out,” he once said, emphasizing his instinctual approach to music over chasing hype. His ability to blend nostalgia with cutting-edge beats has kept him at the forefront of electronic music, effortlessly reviving hip house just before it became a global movement once again.
As Amber Lounge gears up for its most exclusive event of the year, Armand Van Helden’s arrival promises an unforgettable night where racing royalty, celebrities, and music lovers will dance into the early hours. Expect a set filled with legendary hits, infectious grooves, and that signature Van Helden magic—because when it comes to Monaco’s most glamorous night out, only the best will do.
