Mason starts his own imprint Animal Language
Already the name for Mason’s ongoing series of mix albums, The Amsterdam Tape is, as you would expect, a signature Mason production. Infectiously hooky and uplifting the warm, squelchy electro pads provide the groove while the smart arrangement of builds and drops ensure things don’t boil over too soon. Bomb!
Kippschwinger dips its toe a little further into the underground with a wickedly druggy low-slung groove and washes of chopped up percussion and effects. The knock out punch comes in the form of huge brassy organ stabs and a cheeky over-riding melody. Subtle and obvious all at the same time, this one is genius.
The Kippschwinger Refurb completes this package. Animal Language releases will include a deconstructed pastiche in an alternative musical style. The Refurb of this first release is an epic 80’s piano ballad with a serious nod to Dire Straits. Watch out for future Animal Language ‘Refurbs’ to include anything from Mariachi to thrash metal mixes!
