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).

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!

To anyone who is thinking about picking up something from Defected's 'In the House' mix series. This would be a good place to start. Kenny Dope really showcases his talent on these discs. The track selection is composed of mostly newer stuff. Which makes his approach a little different than some of the other dj's on this series. But make no mistake,this is good stuff. High energy mixing and excellent track selection. A real standout.

I AM COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH CD EXCHANGE THEY SAID IT IS LIKE NEW AND THATS THE WAY IT ARRIVED. IT WAS SHIPPED TUESDAY AND I GOT IT ON FRIDAY. CD EXCHANGE IS A GOOD SELLER. WELL I GOT TO GO, AND CALL CD EXCHANGE AGAIN.

I hate when DJ's play a weak song and you're standing on the dance floor trying to signal him to move on to the next track or do something dramatic. This happened one two many times on this CD. I actually considered returning it before I opened it because Dope Gonzales has a hip-hop flavor rather than an actual house flavor and I thought it was sent in error. I held it for 2 wks until I consulted a NY DJ about it. Whatever he and LLV do as MAW is magic, but there is something less desired here. But I will say that he did start jamming towards the last five jams of the first CD. But at a club, I would be demanding my $$$ back. Anyone wanna buy a copy of this? I have one for sale
