The 14-Hour Tribute to Masters At Work
Masters At Work doesn’t really need any introduction. The NYC House Music duo comprised of “Little” Louie Vega and Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez became legendary almost instantly with their unique musical approach.
The impact they made on House Music and dance music overall is undeniable and has rarely been matched. Their catalogue is rich and varied, from straight up club tracks to Latin Jazz. Constant and quality releases just kept coming from 1991 until the early 2000s.
As part of my Raw House Supreme Show I decided to showcase the work of one of the most important and influential duos in building the foundations of the now global House Music movement. Each mix focuses on a different time period in the Masters At Work discography. Clocking in at a total runtime of nearly 14 hours with 151 selections, this thing is a behemoth… lock in!
