BIOGRAPHY
Playing since early 2007, Tony Edit was a local household name in the electronica scene in San Luis, Mexico and San Luis, Arizona. Even though the local electronica scene was almost dead, he single-handedly managed to give hope to all the hipsters and partygoers in the area. With his good taste for music and his unique charisma, Tony Edit was the only dj around to fill the dancefloors with the tough valley crowd. Tony had the support, the looks the banging jams, but he lacked something to really get the ball rolling.
In comes Louie Fresco... Louie Fresco always loved music. He started playing guitar at the early age of 12, made his 1st song at the age of 16, and started messing with DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) at the age of 19. Played guitar with an alternative-rock band named DYNAMO for one year and won 2nd place in a local contest. Quit the band, finished high school, studied at CRAS (Conservatory of Recording Arts and Science)in Phoenix, Arizona just to learn about the technical and industrial side of music. He started producing hip-hop tracks and sold a couple of them in Phoenix, Arizona. Worked in a mexican/ american film called "Vestidos y Otras Anecdotas" (not due 'til Spring 2009) as the soundtrack and score composer.
Tony Edit saw the potential in him, and quickly asked Mr. Fresco to join him and make a dj duo. Louie thought it would be great to experience that feeling of performing before hundreds of people again, so he accepted the proposal. He quickly started listening more and more to electronica music, but he had strong rock and hip hop roots, so he started making tracks and remixing old favorites, and by the end of 2 weeks they we're ready with 8 songs to perform by the end of June 2008. With remixes from 20 Fingers "Short Dick Man" to Nine Inch Nails "The Hand That feeds", the 300 people capacity club, was packed with 700+ people sweating and dancing, not skipping a beat, under the scorching 39 degree temperature and no A.C. The show was a hit, and the "just-one-show,-just-to-get-that-rush-again" became 20 bookings in the course of two months, playing with big names such as Lazaro Casanova, Crookers, Shark Attack, Treasure Fingers, The Rapture, A1 Bassline, Glass Candy, Nortec, Guns n' Bombs, Paco Buggin, etc.
Then came the internet... One blogger, found out about them and posted a few of their songs on his blog.Then it all went nuts... Blogs from all over the world posted their tracks, with not one single negative review. Well known internet website Hype Machine (www.hypem.com) carries a big amount of their tracks, with 2 of their songs sitting on the Top 10 position of the popular list. Shortly after that, pandemonium came when (world renowned dj duo) Justice played one of their tracks at the BBC Radio 1 Amnesia Ibiza Essential Mix. At least 4 blogs per day happen to write or post something good about The Disco Villains, who are now getting booked outside from Mexico and the United States, with gig proposals from Paris, Dublin and Amsterdam, to name a few. The Disco Villains keep producing new songs, trying to put out at least 1 song a week to keep the blogs moving; so, hopefully we'll still hear from them in the future.

- KYLE from HOT BISCUITS"The difference between good and great lies in the production, and Disco Villains are pretty great."- KYLE from HOT BISCUITS"Their mashing is seamless and natural. Might as well have been the original production. These guys need to come east soon. The Baja area has been spoiled long enough."- SOQUITCHERBITCHEN"The Disco Villains are too damn good. This track is definitely one stuck on repeat for me."- SEY SOMETHING"These guys bang hard. The fact that they remixed The Rapture’s “House Of Jealous Lovers†was enough for me to be sold. Then I listened to their Faint/Does It Offend You, Yeah? hybrid and nearly orgasmed. Then I heard their rendition of Fatboy Slim’s “Renegade Master†and died. This behavioral pattern continued throughout the entire day - shit, even up ’til now. Seriously, each track detonates atomic explosions."- GOING DEAF ONE MELODY AT A TIME"Good sampling is kind of an art... and these guys have been on the mark with every track they've put out so far."- THE FAMOUSISH"The remix is much better on the bass and in the low range than a lot of recent bass-heroes like the Crookers and stuff.. The remix is brilliant.. That’s what I call taste... I have a feeling that we’ll hear a lot about them in the future. And of course, if Justice plays one of your remixes on a BBC Radio 1 show that means a lot."- KUNK"Disco Villains, you guys r up there in our favs." - - Evil Eyes from ULTRAVIOLET SOUND commented about the BABYZ remix by The Disco Villains.- ELECTROQUEER"Disco Villains are grabbing attention from top artists such as non-other than The Justice as Busy P likes to call them... This is pretty special to us, considering that no other Mexican act has gotten played by any of the big electro artists such as Justice"- NU KIDZ"The boys took it in a totally different direction than they did with the previously posted Ludacris dancefloor banger - a genre bend that one should appreciate, given the lack of versatility many djs display now-a-days... I could see this song being in a commercial."- AWKWARD PROPS"Next we have the best remix ever. Super techno hipster awesomes Disco Villains, remixed Wu-Tang’s “Gravel Pit.†If that doesn’t excite you, nothing will. Seriously?!?!?!?!? This got me legitimately mad."- THE TAPE"These 90’s rap remixes keep popping up and I keep loving them.
Disco Villains kill it, again. I like this Wu Tang remix even better then their Ludacris mix.
Dudes are quickly becoming my “ones to watch†for 2k8."- GIRL PROBLEMS
"..by far my favorite Wu-Tang song, and Disco Villains pwnd the ish out of this one yet again. btw the disco villains are absolutely exploding, as long as you consider Rolling Stone coverage exploding."- SOQUITCHERBITCHEN"Leave it to the DISCO VILLAINS to remix the song so well that now I love it."- THE FAMOUSISH"..now we have a remix worthy of its predecessor..
it’s a fucking convulsive mess; and I mean that in a good way."- PRETTY MUCH AMAZING"..I was pretty sure it'd be some crummy edit with useless effects, but then I stopped being a hater and started riding for this song like crazy."- PANDA TOES
