Louie Austen

Louie Austen is Austria's charismatic lounge-meets-electronica crooner who became an unlikely club icon. Born in Vienna, this silver-haired charmer started his career as a jazz vocalist and nightclub entertainer before unexpectedly diving into electronic music in the 1990s. Nicknamed "the Frank Sinatra of techno," Austen built his signature style by blending smooth jazz standards with pulsing house beats, often collaborating with cutting-edge electronic producers. His rich baritone voice and retro-cool stage presence have made him a beloved fixture everywhere from the Vienna Opera House to Berlin techno temples, proving swing never truly went out of style. Recent releases like *Dance Vienna Dance* and *Out of Control* keep his fusion fresh, while holiday tracks like *White Christmas* showcase his knack for reinventing classics with a synth-powered twist. Whether crooning over minimal techno or bossa nova beats, Austen remains Vienna's most dapper musical time traveler.
