Party Damage - Harvey Mason Jnr

'La Música EP' (Subtone Records) RELEASED 14th FEBRUARY 2011 ON BEATPORT & iTUNES.

As the son of a drummer (not to be confused with his American namesake) it was inevitable Harvey Mason Jnr would end up creating beats. Although he uses a keyboard/mouse combo in favour of the traditional drum sticks. Originally an Indie Rock n Roll kid, he formed the Rock/Dance crossover band Supersonic Warriors as singer/guitarist. A long-term injury to the Warriors' drummer forced the band to split and forced Harvey into tackling music in a different way. On his own.

He produced, co-wrote and released Supersonic Warriors' debut 'Win Some, Lose Some EP' on his own Bright Light Records label. Harvey describes the very melodic EP as "Electronic dreams, by Electronic means. The songs should, in essence, be acoustic. But we wanted to create a futuristic sounding record". But his main focus soon turned solely to Electronic music production and, in particular, House music.

Harvey has relentless obsession with creating new music using his influences from all elements of House music. Although his music is fundamentally made for the Clubs, he makes a conscious effort to inject an uplifting melodic feel to each of his tracks. "House music should be fun, feel-good and make you want to dance. Simple as that". Harvey's unique, self-taught and unconventional producing style gives every track its own charm and character. After spending the past couple of years writing, recording and finding his own sound, 2011 will see his first solo EP release 'La Música' on Los Angeles label 'Subtone Records' as well plans for releases on his own Bright Light Records. Harvey's attention will then turn from the dance floor to the DJ booth as he looks to take his music to a wider audience. Read more on Last.fm.
