masters at work

Kenny Dope & ’Little’ Louie Vega (aka Masters at Work) have been working together for 15 years. They are Gods of the Global Dance Movement, overground as well as underground. Whether DJing, remixing, reconstructing, working on their own productions or running their numerous labels, unflinching commitment to innovation, experimentation and self expression makes them as prolific today as they were on day one.No one can dispute their crowns, both started as DJ’s, Louie coming from a family steeped in musical tradition began in his early teens and moved on to Manhattan clubs like Devil’s Nest, Heartthrob and Studio 54 as soon as he was capable of getting in. Kenny was with a soundsystem called ‘Masters at Work’, the first incarnation of the mark, dropping Hip Hop beats at Neighbourhood jams.Transcending fashion, not afraid to mix techno with latino, drop hip hop beats over a house groove or take out the 4/4 all together and leave the snares clattering loose and free, they remain true to a an eclectic musical A–Z.
