Whether he was working under his own name, pseudonyms like The Bucketheads, or as a member of Grammy-nominated production duo Masters at Work (with Little Louie Vega), Kenny âDopeâ Gonzalez left his mark on the evolution of house music by incorporating Latin influences. He began his musical career in 1985 by organizing block parties in Brooklyn. He released his first album, Courtâs In Session (1988), as a member of the group KAOS. By 1990, he was an extremely prolific artist, releasing numerous singles over the next few years under his own name as well as various pseudonyms including House Syndicate, Total Ka-Os, The Madd Racket, Liquid Dope, The Untouchables, and Power House. Kenny Dope Gonzalez teamed up with Little Louie Vega and formed the house production duo Masters at Work. Scoring hits with 1993â âI Canât Get No Sleepâ (Number 1 on Billboardâs Dance Club chart) and âWorkâ (1991). In 1994, he released âWhew,â, his first single as The Bucketheads. The next single, âThe Bomb! (These Sounds Fall into My Mind),â was an international hit, reaching Number 5 in the UK and Number 49 in the US.
