Bundle only version The MAW legend needs little introduction. This 2006 Grammy winner is best known for his fusion of Latin beats, classic disco, hip hop and jazz; a result of his upbringing in the culturally diverse scene of cultural sounds of Manhattan, the city that provided the musical backdrop to Louie’s experience during his Bronx upbringing. Strictly Rhythm was one of the labels to benefit from Louie’s extraordinary musical ears and flair as a producer. This compilation showcases some of Louie’s most inspired moments as either producer or remixer and exhibits both the depth and range of his talent. The infectious, horn-laden funk of his reworking of Black Magic’s ‘Let It Go’ bounces along beautifully with the sultry vocal of the original. The Criola remix of DJ Gregory’s seminal ‘Elle’ see Louie at the pinnacle of his percussive element. Getting seriously sun-drenched with his Balearic Dance Ritual mix of KOT’s ‘Finally’, Louie demonstrates the ease with which he improves on a good thing. Every track on this compilation deserves a mention, and marks a further milestone on Louie Vega’s path to House music immortality; none more so than River Ocean featuring India ‘Love & Happiness (Yemeya Y Ochun)’ – widely regarded as Louie (and arguably House music’s) finest hour. Breathtaking music from an inspirational figure.
