Brett Ewels (born 15 September 1990), best known by his stage name Louis La Roche, is a French house/nu-disco/funk producer, remixer and DJ from Norwich, UK.
Louis La Roche sprung to prominence in 2008 with his Michael Jackson sampled debut track Love (which was originally mistaken for Daft Punk) and featured on an unofficial five-track EP entitled "The Peach EP" (2008). The track quickly made an impact across online blogs and led to recognition via an article by British newspaper The Guardian. From there, Louis went on to form his own record label "Ever After Records", on which he released the EP's "Me & Her" (2009), "Super Soaker" (2010) and "Number One" (2011), a collaboration with German producer Patrick Alavi. He followed this with the single "My Turn", which featured guest vocals by Yann Destal of Modjo.
At the end of 2011, Louis' next single "Gimme Gimme/The Wall" topped the Beatport Electronica chart, which was shortly followed by the neighbouring single "Untrue/Touch Wood". The track featured a guest appearance from upcoming UK rapper Ad-Apt and contains vocals by Louis himself. Both singles had accompanying videos which were featured on YouTube.
In 2013, Louis released the five-track EP "Composure" on Ever After Records, shortly followed by the double A-side single "Kaboom/Funk Trunk Skunk" on Om Records. This single had accompanying music videos which were exclusively featured on Vevo.
During 2014, Louis released the single "Offline" featuring J Paul Getto & Lizzie Curious on Nurvous Records. This was then followed up with a late 80's inspired EP entitled "Dusty Cassette" on Ever After Records.
On 1 June 2015, Louis released the single "Just Like You" on Ever After Records, which was featured on Majestic Casual. This was followed by the release of Louis' debut album To Rest Is To Rust on 6 July 2015.
In February 2016, It was announced Louis would be releasing three concept EP's entitled "1986", "1996" & "2006". "1986" was released February 5 on Ever After Records.
In addition to his own material, Louis has created a string of official remixes for artists such as Basement Jaxx, Fred Falke, Spiller, Aeroplane, Mike Mago, Don Diablo, VV Brown, Del Marquis (of the Scissor Sisters), , Mercury Music Prize winner Speech Debelle and The Supermen Lovers. Unofficial remixes include the likes of Michael Jackson, Calvin Harris, Miley Cyrus, Riva Starr & Fatboy Slim, Burial, Kate Bush and Gorillaz.
