I’ve been an underground dancer for the past 25 years of my life. Also a member of most of the legardary clubs and private underground parties in NYC like the Loft and Paradise Garage. I consider myself an excellent judge of music and the entertainers aka DJs. My ear is trainned to dance to beautiful music when the musical entertainer (aka the DJ) has a “gift” to deliver it… With that said, allow me to introduce… DJ/ Producer Louie “Lou” Gorbea < ?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Brooklyn, NY native, Louie “Lou” Gorbea began his career in the music industry as a dancer performing with such internationally renowned companies as American Ballet Theater and Alvin Ailey Dance Company. His passion for music inspired him to produce the music for his shows. < ?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Lou and his manager, Kat Ayala created and introduced Ashé to the music community in 2002. Lou landed weekly residencies for the Ashé parties at several NYC nightclubs. Ashé featured guest DJs of world renown. Due to Lou’s music selection and the Ashé vibe, a European magazine called, “Vibrations” featured a story in the winter of 2002. Lou’s style of playing music opened the door to appear at many underground music parties in New York City, New Jersey and Boston. He has been featured internationally at “IL Ciclope” in Marina de Camerota, Italy and at “One Happy Cloud” in Anthems, Greece to entertain thousands of house music lovers. Lou’s gift of playing music had openly expanded in the music industry in 2003 to date. He has made guest appearances at the worlds famous “Copacabana”, “Discotheque”, “Cielo”, “Krash Discotheque”, “Pacha NYC”, “Love”, and “Club Shelter” to name a few. Ashé in association with Louie Vega’s Dance Ritual has joined forces for several summers to produce an Ashé/Dance Ritual music boat ride. Gorbea and Vega have featured live performances by, keyboard player, Albert Menendez (Sterling Productions), artist, Michelle Weekes, Sarah Divine (Sony Recordings) and guitarist Mike Ciro. Ashé also held an annual weekend special event called, “City, Country City” in the Pocono Mountains, PA. Lou entertained along side Victor Rosado and Kevin Hedge (West End Records). Lou entertains regularly at NYC’s deepest party produced by Ashe’ own, Kat Ayala. Ashe’ NYC has grown into one of NYC’s best parties due to the diversity of music and people. He’s regularly featured at “Ain’t Nuthin’ But A House Party” produced by John “Jellybean” Benitez and Marlon D. Lou’s “old school” styles of playing continue to give him more opportunities to share his music around the world. In between his busy schedule, Lou also shares his music monthly on Cyberjamz.com Radio. To date, Lou continues working in his studio producing original tracks in order to share his talents with music lovers around the word. Discography: Feelin’ Good – Feat.
