The Freemasons are Russell Small and James Wiltshire
Over the last eighteen months Brighton duo the Freemasons have become one of the most in demand remix and production teams in dance music. Some of the biggest artists in the world have been clamoring for their golden touch and it's rare to find a dance compilation that doesn't feature at least one of their releases.
Even up until the beginning of the summer of 2006 their remix credentials were impressive, including Faith Evans, Jamiroquai, Fatboy Slim, Blaze, Studio B, Herd and Fit, Luther Vandross, Heather Headley and Angie Stone. Then came the call from Beyonce's label with a request to remix the debut single from her new album Bday. When Beyonce heard the Freemasons mix of 'Dejaˆ Vu' she apparently was overwhelmed and exclaimed "Oh my God I LOVE this mix". So did it seems everyone else, including Radio 1 who opted to play the Freemasons version instead of the original, helping it to become no.1 in the UK charts for Beyonce. Beyonce immediately asked for Freemasons to remix the follow up 'Ring The Alarm' and a song from her forthcoming 'Dreamgirls' soundtrack.
The Freemasons had already planned their debut album 'Shakedown' to be a combination of original new material and their best remix work and now their double CD 'Shakedown' has an impressive cross section of vocalists that's enough to make the best producers in the world envious. "Most of the album was recorded in our studio in Hove," explains James Wiltshire, one half of the Freemasons alongside studio partner Russell Small. "It's basically a record of two years of our lives - minus the weekends! When it came to making our first album, we always wanted to offer the best of our remix and production work - and that's exactly what we're proud to present."
