Manchester-based DJ and production trio Mason Collective debut on Hottrax, teaming up with Renko for three high-octane house cuts entitled ‘Feelin’ Ugly’ EP this October.

Born out of the sell-out MVSON events, Mason Collective aka Blair Suarez, Adam ‘Mase Milo’ Myles and Omar Guedar have garnered a solid reputation for their signature brand of compelling grooves. As producers their inaugural release ‘Whippin’ on Wow Recordings topped Beatport’s overall chart with support from The Martinez Brothers, Jamie Jones, Loco Dice and Patrick Topping. Since then they’ve continued to release on labels like Sola and Solid Grooves, with further appearances scheduled on Desolat and Roush. However, their abilities are not only limited to the studio as they continue to perform at festivals such as Creamfields, Hideout, Parklife and Lost & Found.

Kick-starting the release with pure energy, the fast-paced ‘Barz’ features intricate percussion, rumbling bass and squeaky effects. Teaming up with rising Manchester talent Renko, ‘Feelin’ Ugly’ is more downtempo in comparison, combining eerie atmospherics with murky vocal murmurs and crunchy drums before ‘Roman’s Laugh’ concludes the package with whirring synths, echoing snares and sci-fi inspired blips.
