One half of the newly re-formed Masters At Work, Kenny ‘Dope’ Gonzalez, continues to enjoy a hugely busy International DJ diary as well as keeping up a steady stream of productions, remixes, compilations and running his Dopewax and Kaydee record labels.
One of the most prolific artists of the modern music age, this four time Grammy nominated musical genius has been entertaining and astounding the masses alike with his fusions of house, hip-hop, Latin, jazz, funk & soul, reggae, alternative pop and broken beats for 20 years. Known as a living encyclopedia of beats and tagged with the nickname “Debo” by his closest friends, Kenny is a purveyor of sonic masterpieces.
As part of Masters At Work, the legendary NYC DJ & Production duo, Kenny ‘Dope’ Gonzalez has for over two decades shepherded dance music down new paths with MaW’s inventive production style and imaginative feel for different musical forms. The two native New Yorkers have amassed an overwhelming body of work, one that includes hundreds of original productions, remixes and side projects, redefining the way we think of music in clubs. Vega and Gonzalez defiantly mix everything they can find – house, hip-hop, funk, disco, Latin, African and jazz – into a universal groove. And in doing so, MAW has become a cultural mélange unto itself, emblematic of the multicultural society in which we live.
