UK hotshot producer Mason Maynard delivers a huge remix of Fabrikate’s Love Was Real, preserving the disco-leanings of the original while adding his own hypnotic house vibe.

Canadian duo Fabrikate’s recent album Made Me Feel blended both house music and disco influences into a sound that while heavily influenced by the sounds of the past, also manages to remain rooted in modern-day dancefloors, taking inspiration from the US, Europe and of course their native Canada. Following a remix of Flame by Cassuis’s Boombass that was supported by Pete Tong on his Radio 1 show, it’s now the turn of Mason Maynard to put a unique twist on another cut from the LP. 

Mason Maynard continues to cement his reputation as one of dance music’s fastest rising talents. Backed by the likes of Pete Tong, Danny Howard and Monki – who bestowed the accolade of ‘One To Watch’ upon the Manchester-born DJ – his productions have landed on esteemed labels like Cajual, Repopulate Mars, Defected and Relief Records, garnering support from industry heavyweights Lee Foss, Skream, Richy Ahmed, Patrick Topping, Claude Von Stroke, Hot Since 82 and Carl Cox, with the latter dropping Mason’s productions in his essential mix.

Kicking off with the triumphant horns and vocals of the original, Maynard allows the looped refrain to take centre stage before flipping Love Was Real into a twisted, hypnotic house cut, complete with relentless pummelling drums and sinister synth stabs.
