IHOUSE FUSION meets DANCE RITUAL feat. LOUIE VEGA

Little Louie Vega is the man behind Masters At Work, half of the inventive production team together with Kenny 'Dope' Gonzalez. Louie grew up in the Bronx surrounded by a very musical family and his Puerto Rican roots reflect in his sound. Influenced by Larry Levan, he started spinning at high school at the age of 18, first having a residency at the little known Devil's Nest, he moved on to set up at Hearthrob and then the famous Studio 54.He now runs the label MAW and the genre-less fusion project, Nuyorican Soul with veteran jazz players George Benson and Tito Puente. He also has a solo project called Elements of Life. With Latin flavored house/R&B/breaks, he's been attracting dedicated dance music fans from around the world. A must see if you love old school house music.

FATBOY SLIM — PALOOKAVILLE TOUR

The superhero from Brighton, Fatboy Slim a.k.a Norman Cook (www.gutterandstars.com)
is coming back to Osaka to promote the long awaited new album “Palookaville” (in stores October 6th). Many label his music as big beat, however his sound reveals so much more. Taking from many different styles of dance music, he has made a genre of his own — FATBOY SLIMISM. Using lots of samples from his vast collection of vinyl his live sets create a non-stop-funky-happy mix very different from his studio albums. An absolute genius in making the dance floor crazy, you can expect a super-genki performance from the long time stayer.

9/27(MON) & 9/28(TUE) 19:00-25:00 @ UNDER LOUNGE
DJs: FATBOY SLIM, GRADADBOB • ADV: ¥6,000 • Info: 06-6535-5569 (Smash West)
