Darren Mase is an extraordinary DJ and producer hailing from Den Haag in the Netherlands. Before moving into the spotlight, he spent years working behind the scenes with talented top-notch European artists such as Sander Kleinenberg. With Sander, he produced the mega-hits; “The Fruit” and “This is Miami.” They also produced remixes for artists like; Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, Eurythmics, BT, Usher, Junkie XL, Mylo and Röyksopp. After years of being in the background of the nouveau-Dutch house movement, Darren Mase thought it was about time to step into the limelight.
After his career-making decision, Darren’s first goal was to set up a well-respected label. He accomplished this by establishing Tease Records. The initial release, entitled “Take That Record Off”, was an instant smash-hit around the world. Within a short amount of time, Darren Mase was soon discovered and befriended by world-renowned artists such as; René Amesz, Fedde Le Grand, Don Diablo, Lucien Foort, Tyler Hampton, David Sense, Dirty Flavor, Mike Heart and Laidback Luke. Eventually, some of these already established artists went out on a limb and asked Darren Mase to crank out a remix.
To their surprise, he had developed a unique floor-pounding sound for his productions. As with all good things, the more he produced the more respect he gained. He soon turned from a novice into a highly respected peer. He has had the opportunity to produce tracks and remixes for labels like; La Musique Fait La Force, Rising Trax, Royal Flush Records, Sellout Sessions, Toolroom Records, Wooferfood Records and Big & Dirty.
Darren Mase cannot settle with being just another producer. He has much higher aspirations. “The biggest thrill is seeing people dance and go off while spinning your own productions.” Darren Mase considers his sound very diverse yet eclectic enough to stand out in a crowd. He has developed an extremely evolved sound and loves to throw down anything and everything with a funky groove or an uplifting vocal
