LOUIE 'BALO' WHO WAS BORN AND BREED IN
CONNECTICUT, FIRST MADE HIS PRESENCE FELT
EARLY ON IN THE UNDERGROUND HOUSE SCENE WITH HIS
STRONG ON-GOING RELEASES DEFINING HIS LEFT
FEILD APPROACH TO REMIXING AND PRODUCTION. AS
A DJ, HE BEGAN WORKING AT HIS COLLEGE RADIO STATION
WNHU WHILE ATTENDING HIS FIRST SEMESTER AT
SCHOOL, HE QUICKLY MOVED IN BECOMING THEIR URBAN
MUSIC DIRECTOR (BASCIALLY, ANYTHING THAT WASN'T
ROCK OR ALTERNATIVE). HE GAINED ALOT OF
BEHIND THE SCENE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS. BALO
REALIZED THAT PLAYING MUSIC MADE BY OTHERS
WASN'T ENOUGH FOR HIM, SO, HE MODESTLY
PURCHASED EQUIPMENT IN THE FORM OF SAMPLERS,
KEYBOARDS, AND DRUM MACHINES. HE MOVED TO NEW
YORK, ATTENDED CENTER FOR THE MEDIA ARTS AND
BEGAN INTERNING AT D & D RECORDING STUDIOS. SHORTLY
AFTER THAT, BALO BEGAN WORKING FOR EIGHTBALL
RECORDS AS THERE IN HOUSE ENGINEER, FROM
THERE HE PROGRESSED TO PRODUCING RECORDS FOR OTHER
RECORDING COMPANIES (LABELS). HE HAS PRODUCED
RECORDINGS THAT ARE DESCRIBED AS INNOVATIVE
AND IMPRESSIVE. HIS COLLABORATIONS INCLUDE WORKING
WITH AXEL HOLLFELDER OF GUM, JAHKEY B OF
ABOVE LOVE, 'JOE T' TURRI OF SUGARDISH, LEM
SPRINGSTEEN OF MOOD II SWING, BILL COLEMAN OF
PEACE BISQUIT, DANNY TENAGLIA OF STAY TUNE,
JOHNNY VICIOUS OF VICIOUS MUSIK, AND DJ JEANNIE HOPPER
OF LIQUID SOUND LOUNGE. LOUIE 'BALO' BELIEVES
HIS DISTINCT AND DIVERSE APPROACH TO MUSIC IS
WHAT SEPERATES HIM FROM OTHERS, AND TRUSTING YOUR OWN
INSTINCT 100% IS THE KEY.
