[Dynagroove] little louie interview...shout out to DEEP...and excerpt from him on "the scene"

Very nice... Where'd you find that? ;)


The man makes great points, and sheds some much needed light on some key
points that I think people might have forgotten about. You cant go back,
but you shouldn't forget your roots either.

THE SCENE CHANGED, WHY?

"Before, kids that liked hip hop, liked house music. So, it was a little
more open, the club scene was a lot bigger. The kids would like LL Cool
J, but they'd also like Mr. Fingers. It got lost for a minute. A lot of
those clubs started closing. Hip Hop became very commercial. I think its
now cycling around where if you go to the clubs, you see kids that would
be into a Jill Scott, D'Angelo and they go to Dance Ritual and clubs
like that.


I can't sit around and complain, its not like it used to be. Its never
going to be like before. Its what it is now. We are going to make it,
what its going to be.

When I go to Los Angeles, play at Marques Wyatt's party DEEP, its one of
the most amazing gigs in the world, it reminds me of being at home at
Dance Ritual. We'd just got to work harder, get to the ppl out there,
let them experience it. If they get converted, they get converted.

I think a lot of the people out there are too bitter and complaining
about it. DO something about it. Its never going to be the Paradise
Garage, its never going to be the LOFT. But you can still capture some
of those moments, too many people just dwell. If it was over you
wouldn't hear nothing.

I hate when I read an interview and I hear, our music is dying. It is
not dying! I'm playing around the world to clubs anywhere from 800
people to 30,000 people the vibe that I give from New York, I bring out
there. I don't change it. That's what I do. You can't tell me that its
over. I travel more than ever. I can play a crowd as big as Danny
Tenaglia or Sasha, but I'm playing what I do, and I play it well for the
people, so they appreciate it."
