Mason Collective arrive on Nervous Records this January with a new soulful-funkier sound that delivers with ‘Room For Me’.
Manchester’s own Mason Collective has been steadily carving out their own lane in the underground house scene, making a name for themselves with their infectious groove-driven sound and high-energy DJ sets. The three-piece crew—Blair Suarez, Adam Myles, and Omar Guedar—have built a reputation not only as tastemakers but as a tight-knit unit fully committed to the craft, blending stripped-back minimalism with raw, club-ready energy. With a background steeped in throwing their own parties and curating their own aesthetic, Mason Collective has always understood that success in this game is about more than just music—it’s about culture, consistency, and vision.
Their latest single, “Room For Me,” released on the legendary Nervous Records, is yet another testament to their refined and considered approach. From the outset, the track radiates a level of maturity and self-assurance that speaks to the trio’s steady evolution. Its stripped-back groove is both intentional and expertly executed, a masterclass in restraint that allows each sonic element to breathe. The EQ work is precise and purposeful, ensuring every kick, snare, and atmospheric texture lands with clarity and weight. It’s a production choice that nods to their deep respect for the scene’s forebearers while staying firmly in step with today’s sound.
Then there’s the vocal work—a standout feature. The interplay of dueling voices gives “Room For Me” a dynamic, almost hypnotic energy, while the layered, ethereal chorus floats effortlessly over the pulsating beat. That contrast between the silken top-line and the tough, broken-beat undercurrent adds a fresh dimension, proving just how confident Mason Collective are in their artistic direction. They’re not just following trends; they’re refining their own blueprint.
Elegant yet raw, deep yet dancefloor-ready, “Room For Me” is a perfect snapshot of where Mason Collective is heading. They’ve never been ones to rush the process, and this track is further proof that they’re in it for the long haul—staying true to their sound while keeping things fresh. Another solid win for Nervous Records, and an even bigger statement from one of the UK’s most exciting underground acts.
