Mason presents The Benedict Files - Bermuda Triangle / Nightronics [Aleph Recordings]

15:42 - November 20, 2006

by Dreej

You read it right, Mason from 'Exceeder' fame is back on track with a brand new project on Aleph, a sublabel of Ferry Corsten's highly acclaimed Flashover Recordings. On the disc we find two rather blasting tunes, so head in for a review...

Mason's real name is Iason Chronis. Living in the Netherlands, he has spent his time on releasing records since 2004 now. In that same year, the one and only Tiësto asked Iason to accompany him on one of this tours to play a live violin during his sets. Next to this, he has also been Tiësto's support DJ on a number of gigs.
'Exceeder' became one of 2006's most played records, being found in sets from literally just about everyone. Its uncontestable bassy riff still finds its way into clubs all over the globe, showing just how big an impact it has had.
Out now on Aleph Recordings are two new tunes coming from Mason's hands...

A-side: Bermuda Triangle
This is one of them tracks that bring a smile on your face whenever you hear it. It's really housey, and it features a magnificent rolling, eclectic bassline that sticks in your mind for ages. It's not your standard stuff at all, though: Mason has injected superbly subtle yet amazingly well worked out melodic elements all through the tune, consisting of slowly pulsating, almost emotive sounding, whispering synths. They give the track a totally original feel, which has funk written all over it because of that crazy-assed bassline. 'Bermuda Triangle' constantly teases its listener by going up and down all the time, generating mad climaxes all over the place. A definite peaktime tune which is sure to become another winner!

B-side: Nightronics
Judging from its first parts, this one seems more minimally oriented. Simple, punchy beats and a wobbly, squared bassline are all we get to experience at first sight. Very gradually, the whole thing expands by bringing in crunched bits of rugged synth here and there, with the real fun starting when a dark and gloomy riff enters in. This is very, very electro-ish sounding indeed: it has a gloomy, mysterious feel hanging over it, empowered by using awkward yet wicked melodic intermezzos. The industrial, coarse 'bassriff' plugs itself back in all the time, making this a totally weird yet rather inventive tune to listen to.

Conclusion:
Mason brings us more quality peaktime material with 'Bermuda Triangle'. Its memorable bassline and classy, tiny melodies make it a great track altogether. 'Nightronics' is totally different: it leans to the electro side of things a lot with its dark feel, wicked sounds and inventive structure, resulting in a very daring B-side.
All in all a promising first release on this new label.
