a musical master class to teach new generations that you don't need to speed up the BPMs too much for people to enjoy. It is not a question of speed, but of the driver. Thank You MAW ❤

[@thecapricorn11]

[@Alkholikhash]

Teach how to play without sync or push or stupid all-in-one console😂😂😂

[@LiamSerrant]

Two of my all time Legendary DJs who are playing to a crowd who are just standing there. I have seen MAW DJ numerous times in 94/95 Hard Times in England. 4 decks and 2 mixers back then. No one can dance or are afraid to dance.

[@boogieeweb3]

3rd time playing this mix!!! My inspirations 🎉I grew up with house music! I’m a 93 baby. My mom would blast MAW while cleaning up on Sundays after church. 😊

[@DynamicRockers]

Hard to believe the crowd is not dancing like crazy 🤷‍♂

[@Madrrrrrrrrrrr]

It's too bland for my taste.

[@ralft]

​@@Madrrrrrrrrrrrthanks for being honest , because these guys are legends people are afraid to say when they are off. There is just not alot of variety in there. There are many recent great soulful house music coming out and they can and should mix it up

[@Madrrrrrrrrrrr]

@@ralft That Lil Louis track is great but they mess with it too much. And that boasting intro is also over the top.

[@markf2439]

Always on point, always deliver.What a combination both Kenny Dope and Louie Vega are. House music champions for over 30 years!!

[@boogieeweb3]

I think people are reading the crowd differently because they aren’t dancing, the faces of the crowd seem like they are actually listening to the music, the OGs are in the houseeeeeeee!!!!! They are the masters at work! ❤

[@SUNDA2E]

Thats my though too. Its dosnt seem to be an ordinary ignorant crowd with their phones

[@Positive_Tea]

But why are they just standing there not even moving? How is that possible? Just watching Louie like it’s a TED Talk

[@SUNDA2E]

@@Positive_Tea they are bouncing in a way more or less

[@braindonor8753]

​@SUNDA2E maw generally play head bobbing music. I think this is great. Best I've heard them in a while, lots of new stuff.

I'm not even in a club environment whatsoever. I'm in my little home office, sober as a rock on my 2nd coffee. But this is the sound of LIFE man. Ofcourse it's masterfully mixed, but I think I understand house music a little better after listening to this set. Thank you! 🙏

Love Louie Vega ! I was privileged to see you face to face back in the early 2000s in Jhb. I see all the younger djs came to watch your set and take notes as always 😅

Absolute wrapping up of a generation we will never forget. And they still got it. A sound like no other

[@Michjjp]

Dear Masters at Work. My sincere apologies for the Johannesburg peeps who simply could not get DOWN on your simply awesome mix. This middle aged lady is grooving at home to this beautiful mix. 🕺🪩

[@sesomediagroup]

One new thing I’ve noticed over the years: there is almost *no DJ booth anymore in a lot of these venues. Crowd is RIGHT there, right next to the DJs.

[@1chrisanderson]

it's cool in some ways but I prefer the crowd to be engaged with the music and the dancefloor itself rather than all facing a performer. That, and the popularity contest of 'i get to be up there with the DJs' which i've never been a fan of.

[@djunclephill422]

I think SA are used to amapiano heads. I think maw gave them a house educational

[@Huios1000]

2k’s never heard of Masters at Work. That is the era for compilations in South Africa. Louie Vega shaped SA music alone.

[@Casper0123]

Ahhhhh they play like legends!! Such a boss vibe!!! I love this jam❤

[@Positive_Tea]

My god, how is the crowd just standing there?? Was there a carbon monoxide leak or something?

[@xuover]

😂 if you love music, love to dance. Don’t go boiler room. Strictly nodding dogs and insta streamers only

[@KatMug]

That’s how the crowd listens to the likes of MaW in SA, been like that for years. Head bopping, crowd cheering/clapping and some even crying a few will dance . We dance to other genres but this we appreciate differently

[@kaigadj2470]

In SA it's amapiano or nothing!

[@DRamos-sz9pq]

My thoughts exactly! 💯

[@LadyZ-lr4ud]

Disgusting … insult to this amazing pair .. honestly they don’t deserve a show like this

[@chrisjolly78]

I'm from scotland and I've seen masters at work in glasgow and I seen them at a weekender in England, I love hardcore/jungle/dnb/techno of its good its good

[@braindonor8753]

Its how many years of MAW now...and they are still untouchable on the decks. Something special when they play together. Wish this was longer.

[@broad405]

How special is it, if no one's dancing or feeling the vibe 🤦💁

[@braindonor8753]

@broad405 I think some young people confuse dancing with jumping up and down and screaming.. MAW take you on a journey, they used to play 8 or 9 hours at a time. I just watched every episode from this boiler room and it's like this for every dj pretty much. In America for example for a long time they didn't even face the dj...people appreciate music differently. MAW are incomparable in house music. I get it though...15 years olds who have never been to a club prefer James Hype. There isn't a genre of dance really that these 2 haven't inspired.

[@braindonor8753]

@broad405 I was having this convo with my 19 year old cousin who plays out these days... I don't want to hear djs playing a drop every 5 minutes. It's terrible, it's lazy and it leads to no warm up. Hour each, same set in the same order, its more like a routine than djing.

[@BiggusNickus]

Still rocking the phone as a headphone I see. True early pioneers at work. Love to see it.

I was going to ask when's the next time boiler room is going to have a house DJ. I wish they would bring more house DJs back to their events. That's the main reason I subscribed.

[@pfhrmb]

And techno. The amount of absolute garbage afrobeat and reggaeton has killed it.

[@deanhaynes3136]

Amapiano is the superior genre

[@genogary88]

@@deanhaynes3136 I don't have a problem with afrobeats but I barely hear that. They've just been over polluting their channel with techno and other genres I absolutely care nothing about. I won't say it's trash because everyone has their own music taste but it's something I don't care for.

[@deanhaynes3136]

I mean the boileroom is in Jozi, damn near the birthplace of amapiano, so it’s expected when you watch Joburg sets that you’ll hear amapiano
