Everyone knows Exceeder, the massive club anthem which made it to No.3 in the UK pop charts following a mash up with Princess Superstar, but the story behind iO Music’s latest signing runs much deeper…

Born Lason Chronis, Mason has always had music in his blood. The son of a Dutch actress and a Greek sculptor at the tender age of six he knew he wanted to play violin and began taking lessons in classical and jazz music. Sometime in his early teens he saw footage of hip-hop DJs in America and was hooked and even though he was too young to legally be allowed in bars he fast became a notable DJ on the local club scene.

At the end of the ‘90s Mason’s profile was on the rise and he began to integrate his violin (with effects) into his DJ sets, needless to say this proved a hit and his DJ schedule went mental, just as he had begun studying Music Composition and Performance. After graduating he dropped his debut release Helikopter EP in 2004. Whilst DJ’ing in South America, Tiësto saw Mason perform and asked him to play electric violin alongside him during his Tiësto In Concert events which saw Mason tour the world as well as offer support DJ slots at selected events.

In 2005 his second single The Screech a chunky breaks tune was released on Dutch imprint Middle Of The Road Music and Mason found support from the likes of Roman Flugel, Tiga and Sebastian Leger. This saw Mason become resident for Amsterdam’s Electronation parties as well as perform at the countries main clubs and festivals including Dancevalley, Mysteryland, Sensation and Extrema Outdoor and thinks hadn’t even kicked off yet.

Single number three, Exceeder, initially released on Great Stuff Records caused devastation in its path. Finding widespread support from Fatboy Slim to Eric Prydz to Sharam Jey to Pete Tong (not to mention the chart success) the record catapulted Mason into dance music’s A List. Numerous remixes later and two more singles (Quarter for Great Stuff and Bigboy Excersises on Art & Craft) Mason finds his sixth single Bermuda Triangle a lush, electronic house record, evoking memories of summer and with crossover sensibilities, coming out through UK imprint iO Music. Featuring John Dählback on the remix this track is set to effortlessly keep Mason’s name firmly fixed in clubland.
