NYC Disco (2CD)

Louie Vega re-energizes a genre with NYC Disco Double album. Louie Vega is known worldwide as one of the finest creators of house music, both as an individual artist and as Masters At Work. His multiple musical talents have also brought him much acclaim in the genres of salsa, afro-beat, jazz, hip-hop, and soul. But not everyone knows about Louie’s deep respect, admiration and knowledge of the disco genre that laid the foundation for so much music that moves the crowd on dancefloors and festivals today. But it was not until recently that Louie suggested Michael send him the 24 inch multi-track masters of seminal Sam Records disco classics like Gary’s Gang “Keep On Dancing,” John Davis & The Monster Orchestra “I Can’t Stop,” Convertion “Let’s Do It,” Vicky D “This Beat Is Mine,” as well as several others.   The multi-tracks are a treasure-trove, including musical contributions from some of disco era’s finest musicians and engineers.

Going through the various percussion, horn and string tracks inspired Louie to create a series of remixes that became dancefloor anthems that topped the Traxsource and Beatport charts and reverberated on dancefloors worldwide. When Louie’s creative energies start flowing, his team knows to rise to the occasion.  The result is NYC Disco, an album that represents the full range of disco – related genres including the following:    *Gospel Disco – “He Promised Me” (Louie Vega Remix) BeBe Winans Featuring Tobbi, Tommi & Kiandra Richardson    *Jazz Funk Disco – “Love Paradox”  Louie Vega Featuring The Martinez Brothers     *Abstract Punk Rock Disco – “Rebel Nation” Louie Vega, Patrick Adams & Cloud Two Featuring Anané    *Diva Disco – “Love Having You Around” Louie Vega Featuring Rochelle Fleming & Barbara Tucker     *Breakbeat Disco – “I Can’t Stop” (Louie Vega Remix) John Davis & The Monster Orchestra Featuring DJ Jazzy Jeff      *Disco House – “Dancing For Your Love” Louie Vega Featuring Cindy Mizelle & Sharon Bryant    *Underground Funk Disco  – “Get With The Funk” Louie Vega Featuring Josh Milan    *Iconic Disco – Dance (Disco Heat)” (Louie Vega Re-Touch) Sylvester   *Soulful Disco – Love Fantasy” Louie Vega Featuring Cindy Mizelle    *The Essential Voice of Disco – “Get Myself Together” (Louie Vega Remix) Luther Vandross   *Feel Good Disco – “Bourgie Bourgie” (Louie Vega Remix) John Davis & The Monster Orchestra    This is just a sampling of the NYC Disco album. As the project was initially inspired by the Sam Records catalog, CD 2 of the double CD contains 12 special tracks from the Sam Records catalog re-edited and remastered by Louie to work for today’s music world.
