The Manchester-based DJ & production trio make a triumphant return after a stellar year with a sizzling new release.

The Manchester-based DJ & production trio MASON Collective have joined forces with rising house innovator Fletch on STREET HEAT VOL 1, their latest edit pack set for release on 22nd February. True to their love for classic hip-hop, soul, R&B, afrobeats, and Latin music samples, STREET HEAT VOL 1 showcases the trio and MASON family member Fletch reshaping a treasure trove of nostalgic gems.

The opener ‘WALK AWAY‘ launches with an explosive house groove and soulful vocal, while ‘QUE PASO‘ follows with Latin-flavored syncopated beats. ‘TONIGHT‘ offers a smooth deep house groove driven by funk bass and energetic hi-hats, and ‘NOBODY BETTER‘ crafts a high-energy garage tune around an addictive vocal sample and bouncing synth pads. Finally, the enchanting EP closer ‘BY YOUR SIDE‘ caps off the edit pack with intricate percussion and dreamy flutes. A versatile and endlessly creative EP, STREET HEAT VOL 1 sees close DJ associates MASON Collective and Fletch continuing their fruitful collaboration, having recently joined forces on their sublime remix of the hit Tyla Water‘, released late last year.

Straddling both music and fashion, MASON Collective—headed by Blair Suarez, Adam Myles, and Omar Guedar—are coming off a busy 2023. Following January’s acclaimed MASON Edits: Vol 2 edit pack release and April’s Soul Rebel EP, the Manchester trio made their debut on Defected with ‘People In Love‘ featuring Bipolar Sunshine, before a packed summer which included the BPM Festival in Costa Rica, as well as shows in Cartagena , Napoli, Rome, Milan, Printworks London, and Barcelona. The Collective also introduced the new imprint V House with their single ‘Samburu‘ with AJ Christou.

Infusing their house productions with hip-hop and UK garage influences, the trio have had a strong few years, with releases on Hot Trax, Defected, Solid Grooves, Knee Deep In Sound, Saved Records, Loco Dice‘s Desolat, as well as their own label Whippin’.

Not your average house DJ, Fletch‘s signature style takes listeners into a wormhole of forward-thinking house music. With The Martinez Brothers, Loco Dice, , Luciano, and Ricardo Villalobos all spinning his tunes globally, you’ll be hearing a lot more from this young, rising artist. Kicking off the new year with a bang, STREET HEAT VOL 1 continues the rise of MASON Collective and Fletch through the music scene with some of the UK‘s most exciting new music.
