Louie le Fink: The House Music Custodian

Louie le Fink is a seasoned electronic music artist dedicated to preserving the authentic spirit of House Music, a commitment born from his deep, lifelong connection to music culture. His career spans decades, marked by a foundation in DJing and a recent focus on dynamic production.

Louie le Fink’s musical journey began exceptionally early; by the age of two, he was already captivated by Disco hits. His passion evolved, leading him to the foundational sounds of electronic music in the late 80s after discovering the seminal sounds of a tape titled 'Dr. Acid & Mr. House.' This pivotal moment led to an enduring fascination with the genre, culminating in his first compositions created on a Commodore Amiga using 'Protracker' under the moniker 'Chinook'.

In the mid-90s, he formally launched his DJ career as “Dj Tchiko,” where he built a strong reputation across French-speaking Switzerland through numerous performances and consistent radio show appearances.

Following a period of reflection, Louie le Fink returned to music in force around 2009, shifting his primary focus to production. Today, he crafts his signature sound using modern tools like Adobe Audition and FL Studio, complemented by classic hardware from Roland, Jomox, AKG, and Behringer.

While his style is rooted in House, his artistic perspective is shaped by a broad appreciation for all genres that “can arouse emotions.” The musical current he has remained most loyal to is Afro-American music, from its beginnings to the present day—a loyalty that grounds his electronic productions in soul and history. Louie le Fink is more than just a producer; he is an artist driven by a selective ear and a mission to keep the true House sound vital and alive.
