PREMIERE THEIR DEBUT COLLABORATION “PANIC MODE” WITH GROUND SOUNDS
Welcome to another fabulous edition of House and Techno Tuesday, with your main squeeze Jen at the helm.

The tour follows another huge year for Mason Maynard in 2018, with the UK producer delivering productions on ‘Sola’, as well as touring Australia and New Zealand in addition to sets at the likes of Hi Ibiza, Amnesia, Hideout, and The Hangar at Parklife – where an enthusiastic crowd of 15,000 were in attendance in his hometown.
With his burgeoning career seeing Mason garner support from industry heavyweights such as Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Claude VonStroke and more….this debut USA tour will further galvanize this respect as he plays alongside the likes of Lee Foss, Fisher,
Lineup Announcements: Techno fans rejoice. While we are still waiting on the true OG of Techno fests (here’s looking at you Movement) to release their full lineup, (peep our the teaser here),two amazing lineups dropped last week. I don’t know how you would have missed them… but here they are in all their glory.
