One of the original co-founders of the electronic music collective known as Thump Radio out of San Francisco.  Mason was the main radio producer and head of programming for the company.  He has been spinning and producing radio shows since 1984. Starting out with the early sounds of Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure and New Order on college radio KYMC in St. Louis.  It was a natural progression in the 90's when the electronic sounds of house, techno and trance began to influence.

Moving from the East Coast to the West Coast in 1997 and landing in the Haight in San Francisco, Mason quickly became hooked on the downtempo and atmospheric drum'n bass scene that was bubbling in the underground.  After a few sessions of checking out live acts that rolled through SF such as Burdy (Baby Mammoth) and Fila Brazillia it was clear, downtempo music was now the center.  It began to take shape for Mason as he played many of the chill out chambers of the early underground warehouse parties and began spinning the psychedelic Innerchill releases, Pork Recordings and many more down tempo gems alongside fellow DJs, Dob, Bassnectar, and Daniel of the CCC to name a few. Mason was part of the chill out duo for Thump Radio known as Masonic & Dob he and the partners of Thump Radio would launch the weekly chill out party on Sunday nights at the old Backflip, at the Phoenix Hotel. This party ran for close to a year and was called "The Other Side" taken from the other side of the heavy sounds of Thump Radio as well as influenced by friends of Thump Radio, The Cocteau Twins.

From there, Mason was offered a residency in the Mission at Laszlo on Saturday nights spinning funky chunkiness with his good friend Kenni for close to two years.

Thump Radio would begin to take up much more time when syndication began and chill out took a back seat.  While Mason was checking out a brand new venue called ANU, a mix was playing by a DJ called Sinukus (Stephen Wilson). Thanks to an introduction by Dahi; Masonic & Sinukus started their successful Friday weekly Happy Hour called "Thump Chill" that welcomed guests such as Jondi & Spesh, Garth, Didje Kelli, Felix The Dog, Jonathan Ojeda, Ben Doren, Kaya Project, Ambient Mafia and many more...

From the success of the weekly event came a new opportunity on radio a weekly show with Alice 97.3 FM in San Francisco. Mason helped to create and launch the show "Chill with Alice" successfully which still airs today. After parting ways with Alice, Mason moved to Los Angeles and the birth of Below Zero happened during a night while sitting watching the sun set along the Redondo Beach horizon.

Mason was also hired on to produce a new show on XM called "Red Bull on the Move" which was a show dedicated to underground sounds that travel the globe. He also helped to launch Future Bars Los Angeles which managed properties such as Marriott - Marina Del Rey, Ritz-Carlton - Marina Del Rey and Renaissance - Aliso Vaejo and Catalina Island - Avalon Grille & Descanso Beach Club. Mason was the music director and put together a team of DJ's who spin chill, broken beat and house grooves every week.
