Raw, analogue, live , legend, Mathew Jonson is one of electronic music’s true originals & is a phenomenon in electronic music. For nearly 25 years he has forged a sound instantly recognisable on the dance floor – often copied but impossible to imitate. Raw, analogue, and alive, he is a master of real-time performance who shapes drum machines and synthesisers into unforgettable journeys, making every show a one-off experience. When you hear one of Jonson's tracks, you almost immediately know it's his. Offering a rare fusion of populist intensities and nuanced musicality, he's thrown the rule book out time and time again. Jonson has always been eager to get his hands dirty and the music reflects that in gnarled bass sequences and long, intuitive lines. His sounds have serious teeth. His in-demand live show is consistently ranked amongst Resident Advisor's top 20. Mathew Jonson is one of electronic music’s true originals, an artist whose sound is so distinctive you can recognise one of his tracks almost instantly. A classically trained pianist and jazz drummer who first got his hands on synthesisers aged nine, he has spent more than two decades twisting house and techno into his own strange, deeply musical and incredibly physical form. Tracks including Marionette and Decompression have become enduring dancefloor classics, while releases for Perlon, Kompakt, M_nus, Crosstown Rebels and his own Wagon Repair label have cemented his place amongst techno’s most influential artists. But it’s live where Jonson becomes something else entirely. Rather than simply playing tracks, he performs his music in real time using analogue machines, synths and hardware, building long, intuitive grooves that can move from hypnotic and intricate to absolutely enormous. His live show has consistently been ranked amongst Resident Advisor’s best, and his legendary set at Fabric’s 15th birthday became Fabric 84. A rare chance to experience a genuine master of live electronic music at close quarters.
