Biography

Mainstream DJ and bigtime Yankees fan Louie DeVito never dreamed he'd have a million-selling series of mix albums while working as a construction worker in the early '90s, but he always loved music and wanted to be involved. An avid listener of New York City's Hot 103 and Hot 97 and their mix shows, DeVito was moved by the skills of DJ Franco Lamello and he decided it was time to try his hand at mixing. It took him nearly a year to get his first club gig, but it wasn't long before he was dubbed "the Man With the Golden Ear" because of his ability to pick the next big hit. A Friday night mix show on WKTU earned him more exposure, and in 1999 DeVito decided to release his first NYC Underground Party mix CD on his own. Expecting to sell only 5,000 copies tops, DeVito used his parents' house to warehouse the CDs but a little advertising and word of mouth quickly moved 60,000 copies. DeVito continued the Underground series and started the Dance Factory series to feature more popular and mainstream music. The CD sales kept growing and DeVito soon had a hectic DJ schedule putting him behind the decks for venues and events as diverse as the Casbah in Donald Trump's Taj Mahal and the celebrity-filled GQ's Man of the Year party. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide

Louie DeVito is an Italian American dance DJ and producer based in New York City. He is best known for his mix series, NYC Underground Party (Volumes 1-8). According to his website, he is "America's #1 Top Selling Dance DJ." DeVito can be heard "In the Mix" on his Dance Factory mix show on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 36, "The Beat", every Saturday at 12 AM EST.

DeVito first gained popularity DJing in New York City, Long Island and Jersey Shore area clubs, where he is a favorite of many young Italian-Americans. DeVito is known for bringing commercial house and dance hits to the masses, including those who do not generally follow this type of music, with his compilations. For instance, his "Deeper & Harder, Vol. 3" includes the hits "World, Hold On" by Bob Sinclair, "Jazz in Your Face" by Erick Morillo, and "Most Precious Love" by Blaze. Because of this commercialism, some listeners have criticized his mixes as unoriginal, while others have praised him for his song selection and mixing abilities.^[1]
