Introducing the first ever solo album from Louie Vega, a godfather of global dance music and a living legend in the house music scene. A Grammy remix award winner in 2006 and a 4-time nominee, it's difficult to overestimate his importance to dance music. As one half of Masters At Work, formed in 1991 with Kenny 'Dope' Gonzalez, the duo were responsible for the critically acclaimed albums Nuyorican Soul and Masters At Work: Our Time is Coming. Masters At Work also found the time to remix and/or produce for Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross, Madonna, Jamiroquai, Tito Puente, India, Janet Jackson, Tania Maria, George Benson, Black Eyed Peas, Jocelyn Brown, Los Amigos Invisibles, Bebe Winans, and Earth Wind & Fire. One of the best living house music DJ's, Louie Vega has demonstrated an ability to evolve alongside the times, distill the current musical landscape through his unique taste, and put his own timeless spin on it. With this album he delivers 28 timeless classics, starring 25 artists, by bringing together the diverse genres of house, funk, latin, soul, and gospel. Listeners can expect notes of Afro & Latin, and pure house infused with funk, gospel, Caribbean, jazz, R&B, and soul. All the ingredients for a truly global party! Followers of his illustrious career will find the album unveils a completely new side of the legendary artist; that of a sound chemist. Louie explains, My inspirations came from various visits around the world and experiences in life. As far as the sounds on the album, I revisited lots of R&B, soul, gospel, nu jazz, even some disco, all within the backdrop of house music, and took it back to the artist and song tailoring. The album came together naturally, it was a growing process. It was like planting a tree, each branch represented an artist, a sound, a groove. The entire process happened within a few years. It started with a few songs and then this past year, I was in a creative state and the music happened back to back. As I traveled and toured, I met artists on the road and would record with them a few weeks later. The experience with the artists on the album was magical; they are all so talented and very unique and have their own special quality. Vega is in esteemed company on this album, with a seasoned group of collaborators imparting their magic for this special project. The starring artists include: Funkadelic and George Clinton, The 3 Winans Brothers and The Clark Sisters, Jocelyn Brown, Nick Monaco and Soul Clap, N'Dea Davenport, Lisa Fischer, Cindy Mizelle, Anane Vega, Monique Bingham, Caron Wheeler (of Soul II Soul), Josh Milan, Bucie, Tony Momrelle, Kaylow, Vikter Duplaix, Cassio Ware, Adeva, Covertion and Leroy Burgess, Kenny Bobien, Zara McFarlane, Luis Salinas, Roberto Roena, Diviniti, and Byron Stingily.
