“Blue Moon”
During all the late night Masters At Work studio sessions (in the 90’s) many new creations came about, some were used, some were put
on the side for future use, and some just sat on the 2 inch tapes for decades. This is one that MAW had in mind for a seasoned
house singer but never came to fruition as a full song. These vibes were strictly groove oriented but had melody already for words to be put on the notes played or at least some guidelines. This one smooth and two simple chords developing the feeling with driving beats and big snares. Then breaks out into a four chord melodic chorus like section which gives you that lift. Feels like it’s inspired by one of my fav early 80s instrumental bands Hiroshima (if Hiroshima went house :), that’s just a hunch. Who knows maybe we will get a song on it, but for now here you have the raw out the studio late night instrumental vibes entitled “Blue Moon”.
“Fifth Time Out”
The keyapellas were a version that Masters At Work did in the early years where we would give you the track with no drums so you could work two records or versions while djing. “Fifth Time Out” is a track we came up with ironically without drums, these days you can add your own drums a track like this. We thought why not let everyone hear a track we started without the beat who knows someone may just add a dope beat to it!! We will add one anyway I’m sure while messing around in the studio. This track also calls for some melody and lyrics with a wonderful voice!!! Enjoy the sounds of “Fifth Time Out”, a track done in it’s entirely in the mid 90’s !!!!! From the MAW LOST TAPES!!!
Masters At Work and MAW Records have collectively been responsible for some of the most iconic house music ever produced.
The two native New Yorkers have amassed an overwhelming body of work in that time, one that includes thousands of original productions, remixes and side projects, redefining the way we think of music in clubs.
