WAG 004EP
|
2020 repress. Mathew Jonson's second 12" single on his new label. Return of the Zombie Bikers is a massive spine shiveringly intense almost drum and bass b-lined big room track recorded in early 2005 and can easily be compared to Mat's strongest moments including, Decompression EP on M_nus. This track doesn't necessarily need the comparison; it easily stands out on its own. Let it work on and let it move you. "Put Your Booty Shorts On" is yet another a side track written in 2002 dedicated to his wife Frank and remixed with including a vocal in 2005.

FE 002EP
|
Freedom Engine brings you Volume 2 in the Decompression Remixes Series. The haunting strings of the original wind their way through drums reminiscent of jacking '90s house before the drop of the classic "Decompression" bassline, chopped and spliced. Mike Shannon touches down with a modular synth rework that takes the original and twists it into a modern acid trip and groove. Like surfing a spaceship through a technicolor wormhole to planet funk. Deadbeat shows his strength with a spaced-out dub version. Natalia Escobar stretches and pulls the track into an intense ambient time machine. Also features a GMT remix.

FE 001EP
|
Mathew Jonson's "Decompression" was first released on Minus in 2004 (MINUS 024EP). To celebrate 13 years since its release, Mathew has commissioned 11 artists to remix this classic, split over four releases. The first EP of the series features remixes from dBridge, Konrad Black, and Nathan Jonson. dBridge steps up for two remixes, the first is warped and deconstructed, the second a high energy drum & bass belter. Konrad Black slows things down with a darker groove whilst Nathan Jonson's "Rewind To 96" utilizes rave tropes and chopped vocal samples.

MINUS 108EP
|
This is arguably one of the most exciting singular works of Mathew Jonson's career, recalling his first Wagon Repair release: 2005's Marionette, a record that continues to inspire cultish devotion 6 years after its release and thoroughly deserves every adjective for "hypnotic" and "anthemic" that's ever been thrown at it. "Learning To Fly" retains those qualities while taking them yet further -- a 12-minute sci-fi exploration that achieves that mark of classic electronic music production.

WAG 058EP
|
With Ghosts In The AI, Mathew Jonson looks to both the past and future. The first track is the first solo production that was made in Wagon Repair's new Berlin studios. "Technology" comes from Mathew's past. His brother, Nathan (Hrdvsion), asked him why he had not released it, as it was one of his favorites. "The Alchemist" comes from Mathew's involvement producing the music score for the silent film Faust, which was screened in 2009 with Cobblestone Jazz playing.

WAG 050EP
|
Wagon Repair celebrates their 50th record with a special colored vinyl release by label-head Mathew Jonson. "Walking On The Hands That Follow Me" features foot-stepped bass and rapid-fire hat, as wisps of melody approach from afar. A vocal pierces the mix as a chilling pad makes your hair stand on end. "When Loves Feels Like Crying" is rich yet fragile, with harmonic fragments granulating from the central hook. Punched bass tones offer glimpses of movement and energy beneath the cascading surface form.

MINUS 024EP
|
"The irresistible force of 'Decompression' and lofty pulse of 'Ultraviolet Dream' are crafted by Latin-infused rhythms sheared by gripping basslines and synths that swell. Jonson's productions are somewhere in between cosmic house and minimal techno with influences of jazz, fusion and analog electronic music of decades past. His live shows deliver a refreshing force against a stark laptop set, with Jonson pushing live analog boards, drum machines and effects to the edge, programming, tweaking and reworking his tracks on the fly."
