Mason Maynard

Manchester DJ and producer Mason Maynard has built himself an exceptional reputation with his groove-led productions. He wasted no time at the turn of the year, hitting the ground running by being named one of Tomorrowland’s Ones To Watch in 2022. Shortly after this, Mason dropped his second release on Hot Creations, Somethin’ For Tha Underground EP, featuring the legendary MC talent General Levy, garnering support from industry heavyweights such as Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati, and Danny Howard (BBC R1) to name a few.

This was swiftly followed by Think About It EP on Saved Records, along with the announcement of his new record imprint, Xscape. The first release, entitled All Over U, sets the tone for Mason’s new musical direction, blending rhythmic Detroit-style electro, hypnotic vocals, and nods to the young producer’s NYC and Chicago house influences, further establishing his ever-growing musical palette. Mason Maynard’s burgeoning career has so far seen him unleash collaborations with the likes of Green Velvet and Lee Foss, as well as a massive remix of Elderbrook and Rudimental’s club smash Something About You, which showcased Mason’s mature, drum-led house remix style and was met with global acclaim. He has also released productions on esteemed labels such as Island Records, Polydor, Ultra, Cajual, Repopulate Mars, Defected, and Relief Records. Notably, his Hot Creations release McLovin EP gained heavy industry support from The Martinez Brothers, Patrick Topping, Skream, Richy Ahmed, Claude VonStroke, Hot Since 82, and Carl Cox, with the latter dropping Mason’s productions in his Essential Mix. Recognised for the extreme weight of his blistering productions at such a tender age, Mason was tipped by Seth Troxler as a future star and backed by BBC Radio 1 favourites Pete Tong, Danny Howard, and Annie Mac, for whom he delivered his first minimix. He also received the accolade of “One To Watch” from Billboard Dance, cementing his reputation as one of dance music’s fastest rising talents. In 2020, Mason closed out the year playing at Elrow in his hometown at Warehouse Project’s newly formed Mayfield Depot, but the highlight had to be his set in front of 15,000 people in the Hangar at Parklife (for the second year running). He also took the USA by storm with 7 headline tours, playing over 40 shows. From Japan to Mexico to Barcelona, Mason has performed at the highest level for the world's greatest events, such as EDC, Space Miami, Electric Forest, Hideout, Reading & Leeds Festivals, and Creamfields. He has also maintained a strong presence in Ibiza with shows at Hi Ibiza, Solid Grooves (Privilege), and performances at ABODE’s residency at the Balearic super-club Amnesia. 2022 is set to be another exceptional year for Mason, with a stacked release schedule and worldwide touring back in full swing. This will be the year Mason Maynard really develops his new musical direction and becomes a pioneer in his field.
