With GREAT pleasure, the Market presents LOUIE VEGA! 
Louie Vega is the quintessential music professional. He’s the ‘DJ’s DJ’ with more than 20 years experience. His name is constantly thanked on albums and he has influenced and defined countless other DJ-producers. Grammy Award-winning DJ, Producer, songwriter, label owner & band leader and tireless champion of House and world music, he is only getting better. His music is inspired from Latin to Salsa, afro-beat to jazz, hip-hop to classics and all forms of house/dance music, the best is yet to come!
Whether performing at some of the world’s premier festivals and venues, producing and remixing for a diverse and exciting array of world musicians, DJing worldwide to packed clubs, promoting his own residencies and events from New York to Ibiza or just keeping his ear to the ground in search of the next big producer or artist, Louie Vega’s amazing career knows no bounds.
Louie Vega emerged in the mid 1980s as an up-and-coming DJ playing at Bronx and Manhattan hotspots like the Devil’s Nest, Roseland, Hearthrob, Studio 54 and the Palladium. Throughout the 1990s Vega and Gonzalez as Masters At Work were responsible for some of the most ground-breaking, critically-acclaimed and commercially-accessible House music tracks ever made. Barbara Tucker’s ‘Beautiful People’ and River Ocean’s ‘Love & Happiness’ featuring Vocalist India, became – and remain - seminal crowd favourites while innovative house remixes for the likes of Tito Puente, Madonna, Donna Summer, Nina Simone, Janet Jackson, Jamiroquai, Earth Wind & Fire and many more transcended genres and established Masters At Work as a production and remix duo at the top of their game.
The launch of Vega Records in 2003 was the boldest step in Louie Vega’s determination to embrace and spread vibrant rhythms from some of the planet’s most diverse musical hotspots. It has been through Vega Records too, that Vega has developed his latest performance collective, Elements Of Life. Originally formed in 1998, the collective has acted as yet another outlet for Vega to break down musical boundaries.
Ever the innovator, 2009 promises to see Vega continue to revolutionize the musical landscape as only he knows how. Breaking down musical barriers and bringing people together through a love of music has always been Vega’s aim; after more than 20 years in the game his contributions continue to positively influence the global House, and world, music scenes.
