Editorial Reviews

Todd Terry Lent Kenny a Drum Machine and in 1989 the Resourceful Rhythm Addict Recorded a Series of Powerhouse Beat Tracks for the Cutting Edge Nu Groove Label. Gonzalez'' Nu Groove Work Culminated in Salsa House, which Received Heavy Rotation from Heartthrob DJ 'little Louie' Vega and the Duo Immediately Began a Prolific Relationship AKA Maw. At the Same Time, the Brooklyn Remixer-producer Has Pursued an Independent Career that Has Included the Pounding House of the Untouchables on Strictly Rhythm as Well as a Wide Range of Hip Hop Projects. Gonzalez's Breakthrough as a Solo Artist Came with the Recording of the Breathtaking Bucketheads Album in 1995. "One Night I was Driving Home from Manhattan to Brooklyn with Jonny D and We were Listening to all Those Terrible Records. I Said Fuck That! I'm Going to Make Me Some Music!" Gonzalez Went Home and Pulled Out a Series of Classics and Produced a Whole Album in Three Days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute masterpiece, January 17, 2004

By 

Jack Dempsey (South Miami Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the House (Audio CD)

Ok. To disclose some bias first, I am somewhat of the opinion that if it is touched by the hands of Kenny Dope Gonzalez or Little Louie Vega (i.e., Masters at Work), or any combination thereof, that it is gold. Yes, MAW have the absolute midas touch. That being said, consider this review:

Those of you who have gotten this far, you probably either know what to expect or you are just cross-referencing anything on the Defected label. In either case, you've come to the right place. Not only is Defected CONSISTENTLY putting out some of the absolute finest house music on the scene by way of releases from Junior Jack, Kid Creme, Miguel Migs, Sandy Rivera (of Kings of Tomorrow fame), etc., but Kenny Dope Gonzalez represents the cream of the crop of the scene. When you combine the two forces, you are sure to have a gem. In this case, you definitely do.

This is three cd's filled with some of the best music out there, mixed by the master himself. It is non-stop from start to finish and truly, and I can't say this of a ton of releases, there is not one dud on here.

I cannot stress this enough: Get this, get this, get this. You will love it, it's a bargain given the amount of music you are getting, and it will give you pleasure for years to come. Also, look for more by the Masters at Work team if you are knew to this gentleman, as well as snatching up more of the Defected releases, particularly Miguel Migs and Sandy Rivera editions (two separate editions).

This review is from: In the House (Audio CD)

I have all of the Defected's In The House CDs but this by far, has gotta be the best one yet. There are so many favorites on these 3 CDs... It's definitely a classic.

I couldn't agree more with the previous reviewer. Defected has been on fire with its "In The House" series. Defected Records truly represent what House Music is all about. And, what better way to select the top dj's of the world, than to have one of the TRUE house master mixing a 3 cd compilation. Excellent!
