Dimitri Kechagias would like to note down: Armada's Great artists are rewarded for their skills behind the decks and for their hard work in their studio. I would love to congratulate all the Armada artists who enter the prestigious list for keeping fresh and alive the dance scene and most importantly I would love to congratulate Armada Music and its hard working stuff that their efficient work helped the talents of those fantastic artists to grow. Without the backing up of a well organised record company there is no chance for an artist to flourish in a such highly competitive environment. Armada Music has the personnel and the know how to support the artists to achieve their goals. Warm Congratulations for offering to so many young talents from all over the world the chance to communicate their love and passion with fans worldwide and make people like me happy with their music.
