Whereas Vega leans towards a softer sound that's more Latin and soulful in spirit, Dope takes an edgier approach to modern House music, using hip–hop and rap to invigorate his 2003 mix, and various shades of Acid to spice up the proceedings on Disc 2 of the present mix. The more appropriate analogy here, therefore, is with the pair of 2003 releases "SoulHeaven Presents London_Ibiza" by Louie Vega (suSU) and "In The House: Kenny Dope" (Defected). That mix was attributed entirely to MAW, whereas on the present outing we are treated to a "deconstruction" of the MAW sound: Louie Vega gets to mix on the first disc, while Kenny Dope takes over on the second. On their first installment for Defected in 2004 ("SoulHeaven presents Masters At Work"), the Masters turned it an authoritative 2 CD mix that covered their familiar territory of Deep/Soulful House, with all the usual inflections (Latin, Jazz, Hip–Hop, and even Gospel), exclusive track selections, and seamless mixing that have marked the signature work of this team over the past decade.
