From someone who comes from a urban, house, vogue, ballroom, LGBTQ background I can definitely say that the Ha dance is part of the soundtrack of our lives. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@1:38:41 greatest moment in rbma history
Too fucking good lmao
Louie Vega VS. Louie Bega....Hilarious!!
turned into a legit question
I wonder Who was the P Diddy of House and Techno .... oh wait....
He didn’t do his research bless him 😂
His frikin uncle was Hector Lavoe, OMFG it makes so much sense.
haha that is what i said
Seriously. How fucking awesome is that.
He dropped that real casually. That’s really something.
Hector Lavoe is known as the King of Salsa Music World.
2023 just found this out. Both my favorite records happen to come from the same family
First time I heard Louie Vega, I was about 16 years old and I heard him at this club on the west side of NYC called “Hearthrobs” which was the original “Funhouse” club. I met Kenny at “The Music Center” in Sunset Park Brooklyn where we were both born and raised at. I had two friends who were brothers and they both taught me to dj when I was about 17 and I would always go to the music center and buy tapes/records from there. Me and Kenny got real cool as the years went by to the point where I would go to the music center on a Saturday morning and Kenny would be in the back of the store with like 3-5 boxes of domestic and import tracks, he would see me walk to the back and he’d be like “you ready blow your whole check?” I would laugh and ask him “you got the treats”? He would laugh as well and show me the boxes of records that he just received. I would spend hours listening to everything that Kenny played till either I got tired or I knew I wasn’t gonna have enough money for all the records where in some occasions totaled about $200 - $300 on records and yes, 95% of the time....I spent my whole check, LMFAOOOOO!!! Great times and great memories. Big shout out to Louie and Kenny. True legends!!!
Thanks for sharing brother!
God I love those guys! They Changed my life and I praise the good lord for uniting these two geniuses. I fell in love with House Music back then in the same time period because of Masters at Work and Todd Terry! The scene is not the same anymore and it is sad. No soul anymore ,I hope to see House Music come back to the feeling! Their is only a few still creating and these two are part of it.
Your story is the same as mine Todd and these guys were my sole reason for switching over from Hip Hop To HOUSE Back in NJ..... "OLD SCHOOL HOUSE MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG" 👏👏👏👏👏🙌👍❤❤❤❤
Brian Moore Yes!!!! To me what I hear sounds all the same, remember when you can tell who produced what, you heard a track and instantly said, yeah that’s Loui or that’s Todd Terry or Keri Chandler, now I’m lost! Lol🤣 I just don’t pay too much attention anymore to who’s who in the game.
Love Nuyorican Soul! That whole album is awesome. Still listen to it this very day.🔊🔊🔊🔊
HOTRODDER50: Absolutely! Me too! Nuyorican Soul is a great beautiful record that sounds crisp and fresh today...and also its remixed version...
This is a lovely laid-back conversation featuring two greats…..a music education ❤
2 scientists of house music
absolutely brilliant, how the awkward/incorrect question, is diffused from lil louie vega and lou bega....
these guys are my music/dj heros.
a massive section of my vinyl, cd and mp3 collection, stem from these guys.
either they play the music, featured on a cd or have expertly remixed or produced it. their golden touch, flows over most things in house and dance history.
just a quick note also. thanks to Alan Fearnley records, Middlesbrough, who always set aside for me, "EVERTHING" MAW.
i wanted it and he knew i'd lap it up. top fella and i miss those days, skipping uni to go and search through the masses of vinyl and cd's.
peeps don't understand how things were back in the day. no mp3's, you tube, i-tunes but there was always vinyl.
glad these guys are still pressing forward with the vinyl media.
long live MAW. definately the black gold of my sun....
Yep, the issue with me is, their tracks are so good, my library is very dominated by masters of work in regards to djing
M.A.W. Legends. Period.
Good lord, these dudes are cool... This is the second time I'm watching this, and I'm inspired all over again...
History teaches us that Disco started in New York City, House Music began in Chicago and Techno was born in Detroit. 3 major cities play different roles in Underground Dance Music. Enough of that! Master At Work are creative House genus till this day. They are legends in the House music genre. Enough Said!! #respect.
Yup, I was one of them UK DJs buying the MAW 12s on strictly rhythm in 96 🙋 🤘
haha you know. to be honest, anything on strictly rhythm was a blind buy.
uncomnizm -🗣Down ‘Black Market’ off ‘Berwick St’ every Saturday in the West End happily spending my pay, grinning from ear to ear!💯💥
I heard that debbie Gibson joint in the club & NEVER knew it was her! MASSIVE tune in New York City!!!
I was today years old when I learned Louie Vega made Deep Inside
they are so humble that makes me nervous.
Geniuses just true Masters as appropriately named. That Debbie Gibson track base and beat still slaps hard!! They are right with the point that people would pickup copies of an artists single if the b side had an MAW dub remix.
Cause of these guys I'm hooked on house & techno .... My first tape. Deep inside 1993 😀😀😀
wow i had no idea he is related to Hector Lavoe. Hector is a ICON so NYC salsa music back in the 70's. Amazing artist.
I'm from chicago and I remember when the Todd terry music started playing in chicago and we thought house was tainted because rap was flowing over the beat. It was something new and we didn't know what to think of it. Salute to Kenny Dope and Louie Vega Legends. Big fan.
Do you remember Fast Eddie?
@@atombomb6719 I remember him but never met him! Remember hearing his music blasting down the block playing house music
@@charliesoul3.051 quiet as kept- he was on heavy rotation in NJ colleges & Newark Clubs. Great memorable times
The NYC House Masters
kenlou the bounce!
No matter how many times you here "the ha dance" that bass and beat just takes over ur body. Lmaooo
Fun fact: On Debbie Gibson's "One Step Ahead" track, the "Yeah" throughout that track is sampled from Carl Bean's "I was born this way" (Better days version)
these guys are genuine and LOVE the craft ... THANKS FOR INSPIRING all of us!
Huge fan of M.A.W. I have a few of their works. That Deep Inside is a pure masterpiece!! Such a great interview. I learned so much about them! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I love it! "Forget the vocal let me get the dub!" True Masters!!!! Love these two!!!
Kenny Beats. All. Day. Long.
I remember all this..been a fan since the beginning
How cool are these guys?! Great video!
Great history lesson in club/house music👍🏽👌🏽
Deep Inside is one of my favorite classic House jams. I have it in m collection and play it every chance I get! Thank you MAW!!
On the birth of Masters at Work (04:00) - I love when the people you surround yourself with give you permission to offer your contribution if you would happen to have one. Because otherwise, there is no point.
i start djing in 1985 in brooklin what a line love it
A fantastic video. I grew up Idolizing Masters At Work
I LOVE THEM!!!!
Masters At WorK great artists & producers for House Music in the world..
So many beautiful emotions with their music, thank you ❤❤❤
Watching and listening the Nervous track for is 30th anniversary! Still sounds so GOOD!!
I wonder Who was the P Diddy of House and Techno .... oh wait....
‘Trading places’ is one of my favourite comedies & so are ‘M.A.W’ as dj/producers .Knew where they got that sample from the jump! 💯😆
Love From Tottenham, London,UK!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Dang didnt know they were cool as this! big props for both!
I Heart MAW 4 Life!!! Respect and many blessings to you and yours for years of house music all night long!!!
Sounds of my 20's
Pure Awesome........So Nostalgic....👍👍👍

great
great interview. What have been an even crazier one if you had Marc Kinchen interview them ;)
Fantastic MAW
They need to interview the latan rascales they changed music,
I'm producing in ableton using stock synths analog and operator, asking how to sound design in this style? and music theory in this style
also supporting the label and artist buying copies, clearly talent :)
Close your eyes and Louie sounds like Steve Buscemi.
Interested to know who the DJ was who asked the vinyl question and current day process question
Can we talk about the MAW remix of Neneh Cherry Buddy X...🔥
Among so many others....
👌👌👌👌
Oh please, anyone who tunes in here or are in the audience SHOULD be aware who Todd Terry is and he needs no further explanation?
why dont say that the groove of deep inside was taken from "cloud 9 - do you want me baby"?
i think Louie Vega remixed HIDEAWAY by ERASURE
MAW dubs . all . fucking . day .
What record are they talking about at the 1:05:00 mark?
only 36k visualization ?
is that gerd janson?
+jordan glenn pretty sure that's him, no?!
yes it is him. he used to be a journalist, and did several of these RBMA panel interviews
Love this interview... however the ha dance was always second to seduction (th-cam.com/video/ZbAL8xR5g5E/w-d-xo.html)! That bassline in seduction! GOOD LAWD! CLivilles and Cole were BEASTS, RIP Cole, wish their could be a RBMA lecture with you guys T_T
