The world renowned maestro of the dancefloor Louie Vega continues to deliver dancefloor gems at a rate almost impossible to conceive, given that he also maintains a weekly touring schedule that regularly takes him around the world. Louie’s upbringing in the boogie down Bronx exposed him to the entire evolution of disco and funk at a time when those genres were at their peak in the 80’s, and he brings that wealth of knowledge and passion when it comes to remakes of the classics. His remake of “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life” featuring Anané and Tony Touch was a masterful update that kept the essence of the original classic, but was imbued with the irresistible house music energy that Louie, and featured vocalists Anané and Tony Touch, can bring to a project like nobody else. The remix from Louie himself gives this peak house groover even more pump, while the Dub from Anané demonstrates that this talented performer has a big future as a producer as well. The bonus track on the B-side “In Search Of Peace Of Mind” shows Louie once again creating a unstoppable groove that respects the foundation of house music but once again inspires an originality that places him firmly at the forefront the house community.
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Louie turns his hand to an all time classic and in doing so, injects tons of life back into this number that's been in the cooler, by my reckoning anyway, since about 2010 here in Manchester. One of those tracks that possesses the unique quality of pleasing the Karens and the heads at the same time! Just in time for office party season...!!TRACK LISTING
