If we can define Louie Fresco in one word it would probably be "Versatile".
This multifaceted DJ and Producer from Mexico has single handedly put his hometown Mexicali B.C. on the map with his many original tracks and remixes.
Artists like Art Department, Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Maceo Plex, MK DJ, Maya Jane Coles, Deniz Kurtel, DJ T, Damian Lazarus, Mark Knight, Noir, Heidi, Solomun, Miguel Campbell, Alex Niggemann, Russ Yallop, Siopis, Clive Henry, James Teej, Richy Ahmed, Larse, Flight Facilities, Tale Of Us, Clockwork, DJ Three, Ida Engberg, J Phlip, Kolombo, Alexis Raphael, Adriatique, WildKats, Ghosts of Venice, The Crystal Method, Felix Da Housecat, Tommie Sunshine, Brodinski, Dirty Vegas, Avatism, Deepgroove, Oliver Klein, NASA, John Roman, Blond:ish, Lazaro Casanova, Larry Tee, and Junior Sanchez to name a few have played Louie's remixes and songs on many events including shows like Coachella, Winter Music Conference, BPM, Get Lost, DC10, Burning Man, Flying Circus, Circoloco, and South by Southwest.
His DJing skills have earned him invites to share the stage or headline events all over the world with the almost every DJ out there, while touring all over Mexico, USA, Canada, Spain, Poland, Germany, Netherlands and Ireland. All of these in less than 3 years.
But DJing is just his "weak side". What really makes heads turn it's his production skills. Louie started making music at the age of seventeen. 11 years and hundreds of tracks later we find that he has done (and it's doing) remixes for, originals, and song collaborations with artists such as Art Department, Dirty Vegas, Etienne De Crecy, Tommie Sunshine, Peaches, Felix Da Housecat, Wildkats, Lady Gaga and Michael Bolton, Human Life, Young Buck (G-Unit), Lee Foss, Little Boots, Russ Yallop, etc.
If that is not enough to call him a versatile person, Louie sets 2011 as the year that will definitely make his hometown (and of course himself) stand out. With his new upcoming label MEXA Records almost ready to launch his first EP and many and remixes from well respected producers.
Recently Louie's music was discovered by Jonny White from Art Department, who signed him for his first ever album release on Nitin Kalyan and Jonny's label No.19 and a remix for Modern Amusement (aka Lee Foss) which did amazingly well on Beatport's "Indie Dance/Nu Disco" chart sitting on the #1 spot and #35 overall for almost 3 months on Beatport's Top 100. Furthermore, this year he released (and is about to release) a slew of remixes and singles on many well respected labels such as Defected, OM Records, Nurvous, Lower East, Noir, Neim, and a recent remix he did for Ali Love on Dim Mak Records.
Louie's first solo EP from his upcoming album on No.19 just got released (vinyl & digital), with amazing reviews from well respected websites such as Ibiza Voice where they gave it a big 7.5, while MixMag gave it the "Tune Of The Month" title and it was the only EP that got the amazing 5 out of 5 headphones.
Still not versatile enough? Did I forget to mention that Louie has some amazing cooking skills? If you ever spend some time with him ask him to cook some "Loaded Potatoes" or his famous "Louie Fres-Canellonis".
