about
It began somewhere when Louis made his first "mix" tape for a girl using his parents double tape deck. It wasn't actually mixing but more like some early edit work putting songs after each other and cutting them on certain places. He liked doing this so he also started to record his parents records trying to blend everything he got his hands on. During this period he also started to notice that there was more to the pick-up and secretly made his first scratches with his mother's Mantovani records. He was about 15 when a friend of his showed him 2 turntables and a lot of vinyl. Detroit and Chicago based music came out of the speakers and not soon after he wanted this for himself, dj-ing. It was a year later when he got his first turntable and mixer and he used his parents pick-up to mix his first records. He was addicted. Not even 6 months went past when he participated in a dj-contest. This was his first time ever to be in a professional surrounding and to work with monitors.He didn't came far in the contest but it showed him that he had a lot to learn. It was not until 1997 when he started to live in Rotterdam that he got some opportunities to get out his living room. With 2 friends he started to do Wednesday evenings in Nighttown-Cafe. After a while he got offered a residency at a small Bar/Restaurant called E.D.D. which turned into a dancing after the eating was done. From this point on he was asked to play at different parties and also got another residency at NV
