Bass Tone into “The Wanderer” by Romanthony @ Pure in Edinburgh, changed my molecular structure forever.

Love the Louie Vega version of “Thousand Finger Man” (with Kenny on drum programming, of course)

One of my most important and beloved mentors coordinated a lot of the biggest MAW stuff that flowed through the majors. When I was enduring the corporate hazing of making an album with a past-prime angry neo soul artists I ended up with a song that was screaming for MAW. I called said mentor and lo and behold several days letter Kenny Dope was sitting in my goddamn office. For about ten seconds it was awkward artist/suit who don’t know each other dynamic. Then. He turned his back to me and I was like FUCK he’s going to leave. Instead he was looking at the shelf full of mixtapes that I kept in there to drown out the FloRida songs that would waft down my hallway. He asked if he could check them out, I told him that he could check them out and if there was stuff he didn’t have he could grab it because they were dubs. I think he grabbed some red alert tapes, signed my copy of street player (!) and a week later sent me an entire box of records and a pallet of blank tapes. I never ever forgot that because I’ve been meeting my heroes since I was a teenager and frankly most of them suck. So big up to Kenny Dope and an even bigger big up to my guy Rich for facilitating a memory that won’t soon fade.

So much gold in here already… For the Kenny Do-Do-Dope Lowdown mix of this. Still a massive massive favourite record.
And then this one from 4:30 minutes in. Just makes my insides so happy. The build up to that whole section…

has there been a better production/vocalist pairing in house music than MAW/India?
perhaps another thread in the making…?

One Rascal Edit takes it deep.
Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty does flute house
Willi Ninja (rest in power 
) reads us all, because he’s hot.
I’m 13 days away from my second dose of vaccine. I literally have a bag of records waiting by my front door as a reminder that I’ll be able to safely travel to my office soon. I might even fuck around and post the mix. Been a long year for a man with asthma (and everyone else).
A couple more the must be mentioned:

I’m not too familiar with many of MAW house productions but have always liked Kenny Dope’s hip hop edits/productions. This one is a fav from the mid 90’s when I first heard it.

Remember that MAW interview where an audience member asks Louie Vega about the impact of “Mambo No. 5”
