Their name says it all – Masters At Work. For well over a decade, "Little Louie" Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez have shepherded dance music down new paths with their inventive production style and imaginative feel for different musical forms. The two native New Yorkers have amassed an overwhelming body of work in that time, one that includes hundreds of original productions, remixes and side projects, redefining the way we think of music in clubs. Vega and Gonzalez defiantly mix everything they can find – house, hip-hop, funk, disco, Latin, African and jazz – into a universal groove. And in doing so, MAW has become a cultural mélange unto itself, emblematic of the multicultural society in which we live.

In this show-stopping mix, I pay tribute to the 'Masters At Work' and bring forth almost two hours of house and garage flavours in all their connotations including MAW, Nuyorican Soul, Sole Fusion, Hardrive and KenLou. I also throw in some of their individual work for good measure and can assure you that this project has taken me to a place as a DJ that not many other artists could have!
