As half of Masters At Work and NuYorican Soul, to mention just two of his concerns, Kenny Dope fully deserves an anthology in this series. The only shame is that neither of the CDs is mixed – but then that of course makes it DJ friendly. Twenty tracks of classic Dope and Masters At Work remixes and originals are included, from the 12″ Ken Lou mix of ‘I Can’t Get No Sleep’ – with that unstoppable India vocal – to a dub of the allstar Todd Terry / DJ Sneak / Terry Hunter / Tara McDonald collaboration ‘Get Down’. Along the way we enjoy remixes of Brand New Heavies, DJ Gregory and Mishal Moore, while who could resist Ruffneck’s ‘Everybody Be Somebody’? Essential for any vocal house disciples.
