Over the last two years 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 clamouring for their golden touch and its rare to find a dance compilation that doesnt feature at least one of their releases. Their infectious debut, the anthemic Love On My Mind, has become synonymous with the sort of nights that leave you still smiling at sunrise. Whether its pumping out of a car stereo or a club soundsystem, Amanda Wilsons smoky vocals and that riff combine to create an instantly recognisable classic. Their follow up Watchin also featuring Amanda Wilson was also a top 20 hit in the UK and a huge club hit across the world. 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 & Fitz, Luther Vandross, Heather Headley and Angie Stone. Then came the call from Beyonces label with a request to remix the debut single from her new album Bday. When Beyonce heard the Freemasons mix of Déjà Vu she apparently was overhelmed 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.
