Biography of Mr. Vega

Real name / Josh Vega
Moniker(s) / Mr. Vega, Ricky Vaughn, 16 Bit Punks

Mr. Vega’s heart has always been in house music since a young boy watching his father DJ house parties in New York in the early 80s. First starting as a Hip Hop producer before crossing over to electronic music, he was still influenced by the sounds of Daft Punk, Carl Cox, Junior Vazquez and more. Growing tired of the redundant hip hip scene he stumbled on to Justice’s “Cross” & Boys Noize’s “Oi Oi Oi” and instantly he knew what he wanted to do with his life. Vega’s style has become unique and versatile with every track produced being distinctively different from the next. From the hard fist pumping anthems to slower melodic dance hits he covers every aspect of electronic music and he does it very well.

2009 was the breakout year for Mr. Vega flooding the blog scene with popular remixes for the likes of Yuksek, Dragonette, Franz Ferdinand, Lady Gaga, Passion Pit, Felix Da Housecat, Tiga, Royksopp & Phoenix. Near the closing of 09 he digitally released his first official single “I Came To, You Came To” on Kiss My Bass Recordings. The single was a huge success overseas receiving loads of blog support and DJ support especially from NY Trouble & Bass DJ/Producer Drop The Lime who was quoted as saying “ I Came To, You Came To was big in my sets...”.

Vega starts off his 2010 with the start of his own imprint Rot10 Musik and the first official release “Play Me At Pacha Louder”. The single is already circulating through the DJ scene and was featured in IHeartComix DJ Franki Chan’s January Podcast for Urb.com.

With every release and DJ mix he is continuing to gain more and more attention from veteran acts and will join them as he performs at WMC this year as well as supporting them in upcoming tours in the spring & summer. Mr. Vega is very well apart of the new school of electronic music producers and shows he intends to stay at the on top of his class.
