Vaughan Mason, the oft-sampled producer of disco-funk singles like the 1980 roller skating anthem “Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll,” has died at the age of 69

Jimmy Spicer flipped the track for his 14-minute rap opus “Adventures of Super Rhyme ” in 1980, early-Nineties hip-hop artists like Digital Underground, Too Short, Heavy D and De La Soul all leaned on the funk track, while later electronic artists like Daft Punk and the Avalanches would bring it to life again. R&B group 112’s 1996 hit “Only You” with the Notorious B.I.G.
Mason would later record and perform under the name Raze and scored a minor dance hit with 1987’s “Break 4 Love.” According to his son, Mason changed his name to Raze on the belief that since he was changing genres by recording dance music, he needed a new name. He would later call this one of the biggest regrets of his career.
