Brett Ewels (born 15 September 1990), best known by his stage name Louis La Roche, is a house/nu-disco producer, remixer and DJ from Norwich, UK.

Career 2008-2015: Early Career La Roche began his career in 2008 with the 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.
