Freemasons

Freemasons are an English DJ project from Brighton, East Sussex, England. The act consists of the producers Russell Small (who is also one half of the house production duo Phats & Small) and James Wiltshire (who also works with Phats & Small under the alias 'Jimmy Gomez') Having teemed up to start a new production group, the duo stumbled across Amanda Wilson singing karaoke in a pub. Small said of discovering her, "We were just blown away by her voice... she’s got that soulful thing going on, so we approached her and she was really up for it. It (unknown) took two hours from start to finish once Amanda was on board." The trio then got together again at the same pub to discuss ideas and came up with the 'Love On My Mind' track that would give them their fame. All that was left was to come up with a name, of which Small states, "The landlord had said if the track got to number one, he'd give us free drinks for life. We immediately shook on it, so it seemed only fair to name ourselves after the pub." Small and Wiltshire also own their own label, which unsurprisingly is called Freemason.
