Following on from the first release in the Back In The Box series (selected and
mixed by Joey Negro), NRK invite æLittleÆ Louie Vega to do some serious crate
diggin in the second installment, taking us on a good old romp down house
musicÆs memory lane. Vega revives his ôLittleö Louie Vega tag especially for
Back In The Box, and lays down an amazing 2 hour mix of favourite classics and
forgotten gems over two CDs. A veritable whoÆs who of house musicÆs glorious
past, this double mix retrospective of a golden era includes tracks & remixes
from Todd Terry, Blaze, Black Science Orchestra, Eric Kupper, Romanthony,
Crystal Waters, Sounds Of Blackness, Ralphie Rosario, Michael Watford....even
Norman Cook makes a surprise entry under his Mighty Dub Katz guise!.. With no
stone unturned, house anthems and underground classics rub shoulders with those
tracks that rocked VegaÆs sets back in the day.
Honing his skills on the New York club circuit in the mid-80s, legendary house
music pioneer, æLittleÆ Louie Vega collaborated with Kenny ôDopeö Gonzalez for
the Masters At Work project that has since gone on to spawn countless dance
music ômomentsö (ôI CanÆt Get No Sleepö, ôWorkö, ôTo Be In Loveö), and helped
create and shape the house music sound as we know it. And proving that dance
music is truly an all encompassing genre, VegaÆs Nuyorican Soul project
enlisted the likes of George Benson, Jocelyn Brown, Roy Ayres, Tito Puente and
Jazzy Jeff for a string of anthems like ôI Am The Black Gold Of The Sunö, ôItÆs
Alright, I Feel Itö and ôRunawayö. Quite simply, Vega has earned his stripes,
and continues to win Grammy Awards, produce massive club hits,
multi-instrumentation album projects, and continues to DJ the world over.
