We have a new interview with Master’s at Work’s Louie Vega talking about Soul Heaven, Current Projects, and little known bits about his personal life. Enjoy.
How important is Soul Heaven to you and why is you think they have been successful; proudly celebrating their 10th Anniversary?
At soul heaven we have always kept it real musically and all the djs have done wonderful work giving you the best in soul dance music. Soul Heaven always kept a close contact with the fans, and there is always an a class set of entertainment. With the cds, events worldwide, and quality of music they bring, you can’t go wrong. They are also friendly with all fans and give them the time they deserve. 10 years is a long time to keep for an ongoing party, and soul heaven has proven themselves in our industry.
Your career spans way more than ten years but can you remember the time when you celebrated 10 years in the industry and as MAW?
I will never forget our 10-year anniversary (maw). We had a huge party in Miami at opium garden, over 2000 people and the best live entertainment you could ever have. We invited the Nuyorican Soul band to back up Roy Ayers, Bebe Winans, Stephanie Mills, James Ingram, Jody Watley, and many more. Brazilian dancers, fireworks, the infamous MAW gift bags, and much more.
Soul Heaven brought together the soulful sounds of house and really gave it a worldwide stage. How have you seen dance music evolve over the last decade?
Dance music has evolved very much. From djs playing at the Olympics, to playing at the super bowl, working with cirque du soleil and even getting recognized at the Grammys with awards, dance music is growing in a big way. Many pop artists now are leaning towards dance music where before many in that world saw it as taboo. I only see it growing bigger in that way where the worlds will mix more musicially.
Are there any particular styles that you have seen arise and quite happily seen disappear…? (more…)

Dogzilla’s Alex Patterson will be playing a rare US gig in Phoenix, Arizona on December 1, 2007.
After what seems like an eternity the mighty Dogzilla return with their latest opus, the anthemic Frozen.
Carrying on from last years legendary Without You the Dogz have developed their sound along the electronica meets rocky road combining soaring melodies with grungy guitars and driving dancefloor beats. Add the Dogz own vocals and you’ve got Frozen, a modern anthem for a nu-skool clubbing generation.
Along with the radio edits Dogzilla turn in three mixes, Original, Club and Dub that are all based around their trademark sound. Remix duties fall to Germany’s Wippenberg who serves up a pulsing, mutant electro-trance mix that’s irresistible. Frozen is the fourth single from Dogzilla, expect a fifth single in the winter followed by the debut Dogzilla album in 2008.

DJ Tiesto and Armin van Buuren recently defended Trance when thier critics claimed it was “Cheesy” or “Rubbish” taking a stab at those “too cool to dance” clubbers who aren’t there to have fun but rather to look cool and do coke. Or something like that.
