Enticed into the mythical land of dance music a mere decade ago, Lou-is (aka Louis McCoy) found his life quite literally and unexpectedly spun inside up and outside in. Fuelled by the common drive of the seemingly uncommon deejay – that is, the irrepressible urge to express one’s self through the medium of sound in hope of spreading these somewhat esoteric feelings to a wider audience – the house parties Lou-is began catering for frequently kept the floor, living room, basement et cetera, captivated until early light.
Crediting his parents for all things blues and rock & roll, his movement into hip hop was of his own accord. Yet for Lou-is these movements were still very much in process and the path he chose was ultimately defined by his pronounced affinity for the fundamentals of house music; “there’s just something about that clap”.
