“Little Louie” Vega is the Miles Davis of dance music. Like theimpossible to categorize Davis, Vega is constantly reinventinghimself and revolutionizing music itself in the process. During hisnearly two-decade long career, Vega has crafted some of the mostinnovative singles in dance music history (“The Nervous Track”,“It’s Alright”, “I Feel It” and “You Can Do It”), kick startedgenres like soulful house (“Beautiful People,” “I Get Lifted”), andrevitalized the careers of legends like Roy Ayers, George Bensonand Tito Puente.
Born in the Bronx in 1965, Vega grew up surrounded by Latin music.Vega’s father, Louie Vega Sr, is an accomplished jazz and Latinsaxophone player and his uncle Hector LaVoe was a renowned salsasinger who recorded for the Fania label. But Vega’s musicalinfluences didn’t end with Latin music: in the eighties, he was aregular at legendary nightclubs like The Paradise Garage and heattended Afrika Bambaataa’s parties in the Bronx RiverProjects.
In 1985, Vega began his first nightclub residency at Devil’s Nest,in the Bronx, Roseland, Studio 54 and the Palladium. Vega’s stylereflected his eclectic upbringing: his DJ sets included everythingfrom Latin music to hip-hop to British new wave. But towards theend of the decade, Vega became disenchanted with the club scene’sincreasing musical segregation. “People’s minds were starting tothink in terms of categories,” Vega remembers.
