Meet NY-based producer Thomas Arsenault, AKA Mas Ysa.. Mas Ysa is another of a heap of interesting acts making up the lower part of the Splendour In The Grass 2014 line-up - acts you might not know too well yet, but will do yourself a massive favour in getting to know them... Who are you? Thomas Augustin Lenny Davila Arsenault is my name if that's what you mean. Other than that, aren't we all one? I'm you, you're me, and so on.   How’d you meet?

Sunday 8 June (Queen's Birthday long weekend for you east-coasters) sees some serious vinyl fanatics going for a dig through their (EPIC) crates for an all-vinyl assault on the Cliff Dive Bar. Sexy bass basher Touch Sensitive will be joined by John Wall and lady about town Ariane for a no-CDs, no-laptops, no USBs affair from 9pm til 3am. How deep will they be digging? Well we have it on good authority that Touch Sensitive's record collection rolls some 5000+ deep, while Fuzzy director Wall has a ridiculously large 20,000 he'll be flipping through. Expect plenty of late night grooves, from italo to funk, disco, balearic and late '90s/early '00s house and all that lies between. Free entry, long weekend Sunday and vinyl grooves - what's not to love? More info from the team at UNDRCRTL.
