Just who are the "agents of time" in the title of Mathew Jonson's debut solo album? Is it a reference to futurism, or to the here and now? Is it us, are we them? Whatever the case, it's a suitably open-ended name for a record that presents a side of Mathew Jonson you've never heard before.
On his own, as a member of Cobblestone Jazz, and as a co-founder of the Wagon Repair label, Jonson has continually pushed and prodded electronic dance music's familiar forms into more distinctive shapes, without ever losing focus on the dancefloor. But the visceral, psychoactive thrills of his biggest tracks- 2004's "Decompression," "Return of the Zombie Bikers"—have sometimes eclipsed the deeper side of Jonson's music.
Agents of Time remedies that, building upon his signature sound by veering into slower, more expansive, more contemplative territory. This album finds Jonson sounding intensely focused,even as he displays more range than ever before.

MATHEW JONSON :: Walking on the hands that follow me
Wagon Repair 050 (12") :: Release Date: 08.06.09
a :: walking on the hands that follow me
b :: when love feels like crying
PRESS RELEASE WAG050:
To celebrate Wagon Repair\'s 50th record our favorite Canadians are releasing a special colour vinyl of label head Mathew Jonson\'s latest work.
Fresh in the aftermath of new summer baked Cobblestone Jazz material, Mathew\'s refined combination of unearthly melodic twists and floor friendly percussion is back, offering a darker and deeply personal perspective to his unparalleled output.
Opener \'Walking On The Hands That Follow Me\' stalks with foot stepped bass and rapid fire hat as subtle wisps of melody approach from afar. Deep and nightmarish, a staccato affected confessional vocal pierces the mix as a chilling pad blows an icy wind to make your hair stand on end. Ever cinematic, this vertigo inducing composition is among Mat\'s most seductive and eerie.
On the flip, \'When Loves Feels Like Crying\' tugs with crisp melodic sentiment to a calm percussive motion. Rich yet fragile, harmonic fragments granulate from the central hook, dripping resonant as punched bass tones offer glimpses of movement and energy beneath the cascading surface form.

MATHEW JONSON & ADAM BEYER :: The Big Dipper
Wagon Repair 037 (12") :: Release Date: 23.06.08
a :: the big dipper
b :: marionette (adam beyer remix)
This newest Wagon Repair is a real treat, with label head Mathew Jonson collaborating with Stockholm’s Adam Beyer, who also lends his remixing talents to Mat’s signature track ‘Marionette’ on the flip side. Mat Jonson needs little introduction. Label owner, sought after producer and one third of Cobblestone Jazz, possibly the best live dance act on the planet, his reputation for pushing boundaries has already been enhanced this year with his cataclysmic techno dubstep hybrid ‘Symphony Of The Apocalypse’. Adam Beyer is a worthy accomplice. Alongside Stockholms Cari Lekebusch, Joel Mull and Jesper Dahlback, he has become synonymous with the Swedish techno sound, founding the influential Drumcode, Code Red, Truesoul and Mad Eye imprints as well as developing a signature, heavily percussive production sound. With ‘Big Dipper’ the sum is arguably even greater than it’s parts. Adam’s pounding percussion is distinctively present, with Mat’s acute ability to develop suspense eminent throughout. Throbbing synth melodies ebb over unrelenting drum patterns, mutating in pitch around a needling static bass and a dissonant lead melody. Surveillant pads loom above the mix, isolating and overpowering elements as the drums grow in stature to climax. Adam Beyer’s interpretation of ‘Marionette’ is a crunchy number, strutting with eerie resonant keys and tight, thudded percussion around the original’s distinctive undulating lead melody.
