On Cinco De MOWO!, Mocean Worker collaborated with the likes of Herb Alpert, Marcus Miller, Morley, Steven Bernstein and Cochemea Gastelum to create his funkiest, most infectious collection of songs to date, including standouts such as Shake Ya Boogie," Tickle It" and Changes." Released on his own nationally distributed imprint MOWO! Inc., the album debuted on the Billboard Heatseeker" Chart and led to raves by music critics around the country. The Washington Post stated: While some contemporary mixmasters sound too hip for their own good, Mocean Worker comes across as someone who simply can't conceal the delight he takes in tinkering with jazz and pop sounds old and new." The Seattle Post Intelligencer declared: How is it that some music just makes you wanna get up and dance? This is a good question to consider while listening to 'Shake Ya Boogie,' the opening cut on the new Mocean Worker album. If the answer doesn't come in those first swinging 2 1/2 minutes, don't worry, the rest of the album provides more booty-shaking, thought-provoking fodder."
Internet and blog coverage of Cinco De MOWO! was equally as ecstatic. OkayPlayer.com wrote: This is some funky shit. Like funky shit you can throw on at the bar-b-q and watch all the tube tops jiggle funky. The big band meets breakbeat sound just sweats groove. Dorn weaves the archival seamlessly into the atypical to create a fusion of the recognizable and the new." TheTripwire.com called it: Thick, groovy jazz with a boom-bip touch. The old-time horns give the sound a Woody Allen on acid feel. This is some upbeat, dope music."
