House music's greatest hit-makers? 

Quite possibly. Since the end of the 1980s, Kenny Dope and Louie Vega - given the Masters at Work name, so the story goes, by Todd Terry - have been releasing house and garage anthems with unbelievable regularity. There's 'The Ha Dance' - the track whose Trading Places sample gave ballroom its trademark Ha crash. There's 'Work', one of the most remixed and sampled tracks in dance music history. There's 'To Be In Love', one of the most perfect synergies of dance music and pop music ever made - and these are just the tip of the MAW iceberg, we've not even started on solo hits like Kenny Dope's 'The Bomb! (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind)' and 'No Hook', and side gigs like Kenlou.

You get the picture: these two could play nothing but their own material for two hours and still not even scratch the surface of their vast, influential and - most importantly - ridiculously fun discography. But ahead of a rare London show at Found's 51st State Festival (where they'll be joined by fellow vets Derrick Carter, Dennis Ferrer, David Morales and many more), we asked them to try. This is Masters at Work in the mix for FACT - sometimes all you need is what it says on the tin. 

51st State takes place on Saturday August 8 in London's Trent Park, and might well feature more house and garage royalty than any UK festival in history. For more information, head to 51ststatefestival.com

Gerd Janson is the influential label boss, journalist, DJ and producer behind the Running Back imprint an doesn't need any introduction nowadays. With a fine ear for unearthing new artists and developing them on his label, Gerd has a very busy schedule and puts out a dizzying amount of music from ambient to disco, house to techno. As a DJ, he has no identifiable style but is a master of many and is someone who can play to just about any crowd and make them move. As if that wasn't enough, as one half of Tuff City Kids he kicks out the club-ready jams that keep kids dancing. 

Back on New Year’s Eve 2015, he played back-to-back with Irishman Krystal Klear, who is at the heart of the modern house scene in his hometown Manchester. His fresh take on a classic sound has seen him win plenty of favour with the youth of the day, as well as getting him signed to Kerri Chandler’s MadTech label. Only active for six years, he has already become a regular on the global circuit and now heads up his own Cold Tonic label as well as hosting an influential show on Rinse FM. With a great sense of humour that always permeates his music, former Hoya: Hoya resident Krystal Klear has a passion for a wide range of sounds. 

Our latest mix is taken from the five hour b2b the pair played that NYE. As such it really found them stretching their legs and playing across the board. From slow disco to playful r&b grooves, 80s synths to classic house, it is a truly playful set that is chock full of jams, all carefully mixed into one explosive and loved-up whole.

So, that's it then. Summer's slowly creeping back into its cubby hole; and October is trudging into view, bringing brown leaves and colder eves with it. Maajo is a musical continuation of the similarly titled 12” single by Herman Prime, the Finnish producer’s idea expanded to a five-member band. And the name, which actually translates to "May" in Somali, hands us a final grasp at the sun with this next gift on Queen Nanny. Entitled Tropic Of Tulli, it's a ten-track expedition fuelled by "an obsession with Balearic disco, deep tribal roots and a love of eighties Afro-pop".

"Darkness is Good" blends together the last two nodes in that description. A swampy, guitar-led jam that wades along at walking pace; custom-made for your Sunday lazeathons and late evening chill sessions.

Wax lovers will be pleased to know that it's arriving on 2 x 12" in a gatefold sleeve. But whether it's vinyl and/or digital copies you're after, set your alarm for the release on October 28th.
