about LOUIE VEGA
http://www.myspace.com/djlouievega
"Little Louie" Vega is the Miles Davis of dance music. Like the impossible to categorize Davis, Vega is constantly reinventing himself and revolutionizing music itself in the process. During his nearly two-decade long career, Vega has crafted some of the most innovative singles in dance music history, kick started genres like soulful house, and revitalized the careers of legends like Roy Ayers, George Benson and Tito Puente.
In 1985, Vega began his first nightclub residency at Devil's Nest, Studio 54 and the Palladium. Vega's style reflected his eclectic upbringing: his DJ sets included everything from Latin music to hip-hop to British new wave.
With his partner Kenny "Dope" Gonzale made "Masters At Work" a household dance music label yet they were still restless, so they created a new project called Nuyorican Soul. With its jazzy horn blasts, ambient soundscapes and wildly arrhythmic percussion, Nuyorican Soul's first single "Nervous Track" pushed the boundaries of dance music even further. The Nuyorican Soul album, released in 1997, was even more innovative, bringing together gospel divas like Jocelyn Brown, latin soulstress India, hip -hop DJ Jazzy Jeff and soul legends like Roy Ayers under one roof. Like Daft Punk's Homework, Blaze's Ten Years After, or Roni Size's New Forms, the album permanently altered the course of dance music.
Louie Vega has now embarked on his most ambitious musical journey yet, with his explosive upcoming full-length solo project, Elements of Life. Featuring such artists as Anané, Raul Midon, Domingo Quinones, Albert 'Sterling' Menendez, Dimitri From Paris, and many more, Vega has broken ground, yet again, in this gorgeous musical collage of languages, cultures, and ideas, with no borders or inhibitions.
