Armando Gallop (sometimes written as Armando Gallup) (February 12, 1970 – December 17, 1996), who released material under his first name only, was an American house-music producer and DJ who was an early contributor to the development of acid house.

He was a star baseball player as a youngster before spinal meningitis put an end to his athletic aspirations.

"Land of Confusion" became a transatlantic club hit in Chicago as well as in Britain, where it influenced their early acid-house scene.

[1] He also produced Warehouse releases from Ron Trent, DJ Rush, and Robert Armani.

Instead of working on production, Armando spent most of the early 1990s with a residency at Chicago's new Warehouse club (in Randolph Street[3]) from 1992 to 1994.
