Biography
Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez of Masters at Work formed the studio project known as the Bucketheads to pursue a pumping fusion of his prime influences: disco, house, hip-hop, freestyle and Latin street music. The sound was exemplified by the Bucketheads' two huge dance hits, 1996's "The Bomb! (These Sounds Fall into My Mind)" and the following year's "Got Myself Together." The quasi-retrospective LP Dungeon Tapes was released on Positiva in 1995, followed by the debut album All in My Mind. [See Also: Masters at Work, Nuyorican Soul] ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez (born June 7, 1970)[1] is an American dance musician. He is also one half of the Masters at Work musical production team with Little Louie Vega.
Gonzales started his DJ career in 1985 organizing neighborhood block parties in his home of Brooklyn, New York, with his then partner, Mike Delgado. Under the Masters At Work moniker, the parties became quite successful and attracted Todd Terry who later borrowed the group's name for 2 record releases. Terry returned the favor at a later date when he loaned Gonzalez a drum machine which began his interest in producing beats.
