Cache 002 Robert Armani - Classic Acid Trax
Released April 2006.
Cache
Records signed producer legend Robert Armani for
a quality re-press of 2 of his classic acid trax.
Robert Armani started his DJ and producer carrer in his teenage
years, influenced by the chicago house pioneers Armando (RIP),
Frankie Knuckles and Mike Dunn.
Together with fellow "Traxmen" Paul Johnson, DJ Rush,
DJ Funk and others, he laid the foundations of what is now known
as "basement trax ghetto sound",
literally capturing the sounds played at local underground events
in the early 1990s.
Born Rob Woods, he took on his artist name being inspired by
extremly sucsessful trips and showcases in Italy. There, at the
beginning of his international career,
he met like-minded roman producer and label manager Toni Verde.
Most of his nowadays legendary recordings were issued on Verdes
"ACV" imprint
for the european market, and in parallel on the famous
"Dance Mania" label in Chicago.
