Lil Louis

A true pioneer of electronic music, Lil’ Louis stands as one of the most influential figures in dance music history. Credited as the “Founding Father of House,” the Chicago native shaped a genre that went on to conquer the world. From his early days as a prodigious DJ in the mid-70s, when his inventive edits and marathon sets ignited the city’s underground, to organizing what is often regarded as the world’s first rave, Lil’ Louis has consistently pushed boundaries.
