First up, it has to be said we are very intrigued to find out exactly what a ‘frisky biscuit’ is! Although, if it’s the definition of well produced, catchy tune that makes you want to hear more, then Dutch producer Mason’s new album is full of them.
‘Frisky Biscuits’ is the third L.P. from Mason and for this one he lands on respected electronic music imprint, Toolroom. On this album Mason effortlessly weaves between house, funk, disco, and the type of impossible-to-define sounds which have seen the Dutch artist consistently walk his own path in a 25-year career in electronic music. The 13-track album is littered with guest vocalists such as Jem Cooke (Camelphat) and Shingai (The Noisettes), all bringing their unique talents.
Created wholly in lockdown conditions this album is an antidote to the Covid era. Realising that people needed something to smile about Mason crafted a record that smacks of positivity and joy. This is not heads-down fuel for a dark Berlin warehouse but a soundtrack for dancing on picnic tables in the sun. The Amsterdam-based producer has created a typically eclectic selection of tunes designed for sound tracking all activities of life and not just sweating in a nightclub. In that sense it is very much a lockdown album.
Mason comments,
I wanted to turn these weird times into something productive so I locked myself in studio like a true hermit. I’m hoping with this album to bring my share of warmth and positivity to this world, which I like to think we can all use these days.
‘Frisky Biscuits is an excellent album – we recommend you check it out!
