Music reviews. CD reviews. Critically hip!

New York DJ Louie DeVito is to the current state of disc jockey entrepreneurs what John "JellyBean" Benitez was back in the early 80's. JellyBean took a young Madonna and soaked her with material with streetwise lyrics, laced with a kind of hip-hop pulsation (e.g. "Sidewalk Talk"). As JellyBean really gave the Material Girl her early sound and appeal, DeVito has done the same to newer dance acts. On his last Vol. 3., he gave a much need Techno touch-up to such tunes as Melanie C's "I Turn To You" and Ian Vandahl's "Castles In the Sky".

DeVito splices tracks like an emergency room scrub. His re-mixed tracks on his last CD (Vol. 3 of his N.Y.C. Underground Party CD series) are as hot and danceable as they get. But it is on his new 4th CD where his dexterity really shines.

Not only does he do an amazing job on Fatboy Slim's "Star 69 {What The….}," he also reincarnates The Information Society (yes…the same Info Soc. who made some noise in 1989 with "Pure Energy") and their long forgotten early 90's track "Running."

The N.Y.C. Underground Party Vol. 4 was the 3rd best selling DJ-compilation of 2001 (right behind Paul Oakenfold's Swordfish - The Album and DJ Skribble's Essential Spring Break-Summer 2001).

If he keeps us this pace, DeVito will undoubtedly be the "King of Mixology" for this millennium.
