29th January sees Manchester trio MasonCollective release their debut EP on Mar-T’s renowned Tech-House imprint, Wow! Recordings – entitled ‘Whippin’.
Since their formation in 2014, MasonCollective have quickly gathered attention in the underground music scene for their explosive DJ sets and highly renowned MVSON events in Manchester, where the group are based. This experience managing and promoting events, as well as past residencies in Manchester clubs Sankeys and Hidden has helped to shape their music’s sound and style, one that always retains a “bouncing, high-energy groove”, according to them.
Kicking off the EP is ‘Whippin’, a six-minute number that blends frenzied effects and shimmering synths with a pulsating, uncompromising bassline.
‘Apricot’ follows a steady-groover that builds its drive through tribal percussive elements, chopped up vocals and other off-kilter effects synonymous with the Tech-House genre.
Closing the EP is ‘Lapdance’, featuring playful percussion, bouncing effects and another infectious underlying groove that’s ready-made for their notorious Manchester parties.
‘Whippin’ is available exclusively via Beatport on January 29th and everywhere else two weeks later.
