II OUT NOW II

Buy/Stream: lnk.to/HOTC184

Manchester mainstay Mason Maynard makes a highly-anticipated return to Hot Creations this February. Providing the five-track Somethin’ For Tha Underground EP, two leading vocalists feature on the release in the form of legendary MC talent General Levy and American singer-songwriter Hadiya George.

Mason spoke on how the release came together: “I’ve been writing a broad range of styles over the past couple of years and I’ve tried to share some of that here. I’m grateful to have worked with the legend that is General Levy, as well as the super talented vocalist Hadiya George.”

Somethin’ For Tha Underground feat. General Levy begins proceedings. A tribal, old-skool leaning number, General Levy’s vocals add that signature jungle feel, as Mason’s four-four style marches on in the foreground. Ring Of Fire feat. Hadiya George comes next, manifesting as a soothing sunset cut packed full of emotive chords and warming strings throughout. The dub version soon arrives before Motherland ramps up the tempo courtesy of a rolling bassline and rampant kick-hat combos. Finally, Disco Punk brings things to a funk-driven close thanks to an instantly recognisable vocal sample.

Manchester DJ and producer Mason Maynard has built himself an exceptional reputation since first bursting onto the scene in 2017. Releases on Hot Creations, Relief and Sola have cemented his standing as one of the scene’s brightest young prospects, whilst performances at clubbing and festival institutions such as Privilege (Ibiza), Parklife (Manchester), Hideout (Croatia) and Space (Miami) have brought his sound to global audiences. In recent times, his Lookin’ At Me release saw him work alongside USA heavyweight leaders Insomniac, setting the tone for a new musical direction, with tastes of rhythmic Detroit style electro further establishing his ever-growing musical palette.

Aron Quaid – Johnny Walks - GL004
[Out now on Beatport, Bandcamp, and all streaming platforms]

The demo for the title track happened fast. Like, one-day fast. A few days before Gaplife’s launch at Loop51, Aron sat down to make ‘something fun’, no big plan. Just chasing a good feeling. He’d been deep in Italo house that week: bright chords, happy grooves, the kind of stuff that makes you grin without realising it. So he thought, alright, let’s try a “hands-up” track.

And in a single session, “Johnny Walks” came together. Multiple sections, builds, breakdowns, and then in that final stretch…the strings, the lift, the everything-is-right-in-the-world moment. We quickly used it as the backing track for the Loop51 poster because it was exactly that energy: positive, open, communal.

By that point, Aron already had “Night at Hugh” and “Pussy” waiting to be tested. Both were born from the same mindset: keep it simple, keep it moving. He’d been making more melodic, layered tracks and wanted to tap into that pure, four-to-the-floor groove.

“Night At Hugh” samples this old Hugh Hefner interview about fearlessness; it’s weirdly inspiring in context. And “Pussy”... well, that one’s built around a random vocal sample. No extravagant explanation, just one of those happy studio moments that slaps.

Together, these three tracks show Aron in flow mode: no overthinking, just instinct and energy. Melodic but club-ready, euphoric yet grounded. Easy to drop in a set, but also something you’ll catch yourself replaying just for the mood.

Pure Quaid energy.
Dope. Enjoy.
Lee
