Over the course of his career, Mason has scored several Beatport No.1s, numerous BBC radio playlist additions, as well as earning BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record In The World title on a number of occasions.

Upon signing the deal with Sentric, Mason said: “Sentric are a young and dynamic independent company who completely get where I’m coming from creatively.

Our alignment on musical creativity and combined passion for how the rights landscape should work for creators has been instrumental in bringing us together. I’m very much looking forward to the journey we are about to take, and to hear the results of our endeavours on radios, stages and dance floors soon.”
