Mason have been working on a track with Brazillian Bossa Nova legend, Marcos Valle. The Dutchmen met up with Valle while touring in Brazil and decided on an experiment to combine their sounds. Mason and Marcos swapped files between Amsterdam and Rio over a couple of weeks and created a unique track with vocals and live instrumentation. The result is 'Solarium' a schizoid latin house tune that is destined for Summer parties this year.
67 year-old Marcos is still in the game since his first releases in the early 1960's when he was a peer of the likes of Sergio Mendes and Astrud Gilberto, becoming a household name in his native country and gaining fans worldwide in his long career. He has constantly experimented with music and is even credited as being one of the first people to "beatbox" a decade before it became a hip-hop staple. Valle is no stranger to electronic music having experimented since the early noughties with albums such as 'Escape' and 'Contrasts'
'Solarium' will feature on the Brazilian version of Mason's album "They Are Among Us" (EMI Brazil) and will no doubt find its way across the globe as Summer approaches in the Northern Hemisphere.
