Mason Maynard – Memory [Island]
Manchester dance music talent Mason Maynard continues his hot streak with new single ‘Memory’, out now. Harnessing Detroit techno energy, ‘Memory’ is a poignant club cut laced with emotion and laden with groove. It follows ‘Propane’ and ‘Make It Hot’, collaborations with house music legends Green Velvet and Gene Farris respectively, with all three tracks set to feature on the forthcoming ‘Make It Hot’ EP.
Backed by BBC Radio 1 tastemakers Annie Mac, Pete Tong and Danny Howard, who bestowed the accolade of ‘One To Watch’ upon the Manchester-born DJ, Mason continues to cement his reputation as one of dance music’s fastest rising talents. Following on from the success of his McLovin’ EP on Hot Creations and ‘The Feeling’ on Repopulate Mars, which was heavily supported by Annie Mac and saw him deliver a mini mix, and remixes for the likes of Fabrikate on Nervous Records, Rudimental and Michael Bibi. All this plus performances at 93 Feet East and ABODE in the Dock to look forward to in the coming weeks, it’s safe to say that Mason’s continuing to go from strength to strength as one of the new generations most prominent house figures.
