About Louie Austen

If you think of class, style and entertainment you think of the worlds only electro crooner genius LOUIE AUSTEN with his unique Rat Pack meets Electro/House musical escapades. Louie has been around for longer than you may realise. He has leaped from thriving as an enigmatic night club crooner to one of the most exhilarating performers electronic music has to offer and this being in his 60ies! Part of Louie Austen’s appeal lies in the fact that he has not entirely discarded the entertainer in this metamorphosis. He is a mediator who mixes various genres, some of which were previously regarded as incompatible. For several years now he has managed to resolve alleged contradictions and break down prejudices – jazz and dance beats, advanced age and youth culture, smart style and underground. “In a way I stand for a kind of reconciliation“, he describes his unique position, “a bridge between old and new or between young and old.“ But how did it all get started? In 1999, the bustling Viennese Electro scene gives birth to a new and surprising idea. The Viennese electronic producer Patrick Pulsinger contrasts his experimental electronic tracks with Louie Austen’s velvety voice. He had run into the classic jazz crooner in a studio and immediately proposed a collaboration. Louie is intrigued by the electronic beats and sounds of the young generation. He has various new musical coops for 2021+ up his sleeve, stay tuned and get seriously electrotained!
