One half of the newly re-formed Masters At Work, Louie Vega, can be found behind the decks of some of the globe’s most beautiful clubs and festivals, including summer residencies in the pleasure-seeking locations of Ibiza, Italy and Greece. Hotly anticipated, his live band, Elements of Life II, have released the new “This Is Us” album, and sees Louie reach new heights of creativity with this diverse vocal and instrumental set.

As part of Masters At Work, the legendary NYC DJ & Production duo of Louie Vega and Kenny ‘Dope” Gonzalez, Louie has for over a decade shepherded dance music down new paths with their inventive production style and imaginative feel for different musical forms. The two native New Yorkers have amassed an overwhelming body of work, one that includes hundreds of original productions, remixes and side projects, redefining the way we think of music in clubs. Vega and Gonzalez defiantly mix everything they can find – house, hip-hop, funk, disco, Latin, African and jazz – into a universal groove. And in doing so, MAW has become a cultural mélange unto itself, emblematic of the multicultural society in which we live.

The original voice of New York’s Underground Network party @ the Sound Factory Bar and one of Masters At Work favourite artists, Barbara Tucker has a massive underground following with both new and old House fans alike, who continue to play her classic songs to this day. A truly unique and original vocal star, Barbara’s Live show has got to be experienced to be believed with its showmanship and pzazz.

In the Bar, the one and only incredible UK DJ/Producer, Joey Negro, makes his debut for Groove Odyssey, alongside original Ministry Of Sound residents, CJ Mackintosh and Jazzy M playing the best in Disco and House classics and much more.
The Baby Box delivers a room of 80's Soul and Boogie headlined by Urban Essentials main man and B&S scribe, DJ Bigger whilst The Loft is hosted by Housefm.Net.
