Van Helden often remixes and uses samples of funk, soul, R&B and hip hop. He also uses filters and dub progressions, as in NYC beat, dancehall and reggae samples.
His greatest successes have been the remix of the song "Professional Widow" by Tori Amos, "My My My" featuring Tara McDonald (containing a sample of "Comin' Apart" by Gary Wright), as well as "U Don't Know Me" (containing a sample of "Dance With You" by Carrie Lucas), which is Van Helden's own work and topped the UK Singles Chart. He also featured in "Bonkers" by UK rapper Dizzee Rascal, which also topped the UK charts.
"Hear My Name" was the first single from Armand Van Helden's fifth album, New York: A Mix Odessey, and his sixth album, Nympho. The track features vocals by duo Spalding Rockwell. It was also made into a music video featuring the female duo Spalding Rockwell spanking various men and women, including Robert Bantin in his debut role as the gardener(might be a farmer).

Chart performance
The single was a worldwide Dance and Club hit, and a minor success in Single charts.
Helden was an electronicnew wave project formed in the summer of 1980 by future successful film-musician Hans Zimmer and then Ultravox drummer Warren Cann. The project also featured guest participations of singers Zaine Griff and Linda Jardim. (now: Allan)
During 1979 and 1980, Zimmer and Cann were constantly working along as part of the backing band of New Zealand singer Zaine Griff, and were also doing TV presentations as part of the guest line-up of musicians with The Buggles. With Griff, the duo were touring in 1979, played with Griff at Reading '79 Festival and played for his debut album Ashes and Diamonds, released in 1980.
In the summer of 1980, Zimmer and Cann established a 'changing project' (not a band) while discussing the possibility of writing and recording an 'adventure' album.
In the next autumn, the project began to work, recording material. In March 1983, the forthcoming album was destined to be called Spies. The album consisted of 12 songs - recorded with synthesizers and computers. Some songs only instrumental (Mother Company, Pyramids Of The Reich, Moonlight In Vermont and Eva. The other songs all had vocals by (mostly) Zaine Griff and Linda Jardim (Allan), but also Hugo Vereker and French singer Ronny. Some songs are similar to Zaine Griff's songs on the album Figvres (where Hans Zimmer also did instrumental arrangements, keyboards and computers): Stranded, Borderline, Holding On. Other songs remind of the worldwide hit song "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles - where Zimmer also contributed: Young & Scientific, 2529 and Movies for Eva, while some songs sound more theatrical and dramatic: The Ball and My Killing Hand.
""Heroes"" is a song by English musician David Bowie, written by Bowie and Brian Eno. Produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti, it was recorded in July and August 1977, and released on 23 September 1977. A product of Bowie's "Berlin" period, the track was not a huge hit in the UK or US at the time, but has gone on to become one of Bowie's signature songs. In January 2016, following Bowie's death, the song reached a new peak of number 12 in the UK Singles Chart. ""Heroes"" has been cited as Bowie's second-most covered song after "Rebel Rebel".

Like clothes on the line I'm three sheets to the wind But stay tighter than the strings on a violin Me I'm as dirty as they come but still spic and span I ride 28 inches on my creepy black van And you can catch me posted up down by the trailer park I'm selling bootleg movies from noon to dark But at nine o'clock it's time to close up shop And find some unsuspecting girlie who gonna blow my top I like cruising by the gap and the old navy I like scoping out the milf's and the old ladies Pulling right up to the curb with my windows pitch black Practice catch and then release I do my thing and then I throw 'em back [Chorus: x2] My van! In my van they don't never see it coming Stone cold killer slanging rock hard loving In my van here's how we do I got something waiting for you I never keep 'em very long because they tend to stink And they'll be xxxxxxx up my camel skin zebra print seats And I'm a mother xxxxxxx pimp so can't be cramping my style With some decomposing stank ho wearing a smile I gotta keep my reputation I got clientel I can't be pushing finding nemo with no funky xxx smell I keep my chevrolet polished and my shag rug vaccumed And a sticker on the back glass says "shit happens" And I'm cool as fan in my burt reynolds shades But my futures pretty dim that's why I can't get laid So I'm a get it how I get gotta get up in them britches I'm a get it how I get I'm a take it from these bitches! [Chorus x2] If the van be a rocking then dontcha come a knocking You might see me do the nasty face covered in a stocking Nothing on but a tool belt and bvd's A chick tied to a shelf full of dvd's I got that old school porn showing in the headrest Try choking out this honey but she ain't dead yet I got her in the camel clutch, remote control stuck in her butt She be switching scene selections everytime she bust a nut You might say I'm kinda sick and you might call me a freak Because I pull up to the intersection's gripping my meat But to all them freaky bitches, xxxxxxx I be the man I bet they never forget the time they had in my van! [Chorus x2]
