Mason Maynard – Lookin’ At Me EP [Fantazia]

Manchester DJ and producer Mason Maynard is hitting 2020 with purpose and imagination as he announces his new record imprint “Fantazia“. Working alongside USA heavyweight electronic music leaders Insomniac, the first release will be titled “Lookin’ At Me” out February 14th and sets the tone for Mason’s new musical direction.

The four-track EP kicks off with ‘Lookin’ At Me’, a rhythmic vocal-led electro track that showcases Mason’s ever-growing musical palette. Next up, ‘Out Of Line’ gets things started with an uncompromising kick drum before dropping into an acid line that crunches the ears of the listener. The hypnotic vocal ensnares you with low frequencies and submerges the listener under the bass-weight of this pure club weapon. ‘Jack Work’ is a further nod to Mason’s NYC & Chicago house influences utilising delicate piano chords to masterful effect. Seeing the EP home is ‘Fantazia’. The EP’s finale leans to early Warp Records electronica and Detroit style electro and further re-affirms the young Mancunion producers musical direction.

The ‘Lookin’ At Me’ EP marks the next chapter in the story of one of the scenes most exciting young talents. Showcasing a remarkable level of sophistication in his new audible pursuits, 2020 is going to be a big year, and it’s starting in all the right ways.
