This Vancouver native has built a solid reputation over the past few years through his participation in the Modern Deep Left Quartet, Cobblestone Jazz and by various productions under his own name. His forays into jazz, house, fusion, techno and other electronic based music(s) reference a youth filled with musical creativity and ingénue. Between the ages of 12 and 17 years, Mat began experimenting with computer-based sequencing and sound, programming being the logical extension of his early box instruments. During his late teens and early twenties, Jonson could be found performing regularly in Vancouver, Victoria and environs throughout. An increasingly personal interest in live performance prompted Matt to focus again on outboard equipment, old 70’s analogues with a primarily hands-on usage. His deeply moody solo performances served to build a reputation for masterful composition, riveting and intensely emotional musicianship and, ultimately, national and international acclaim. (His solo productions for Itiswhatitis (including the amazing "Typerope" track, selling near 7000 copies) and a collaborative Perlon recording have brought him broad international attention and exposure, and garnered praise from such luminaries as Dan Bell, Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier and Larry Heard. Releases also coming out on Minus and It Is What It Is. For Arbutus 001 Mathew gives us” 911, How Can I Help You?”, a thick and deep techno gem. With his signature synth work and crisp beats, this track has been tearing up dancefloors around the world when he drops it in his live set. In fact it has been frequently requested for vinyl release. This is what analog is all about. The kick and subbase will have you begging for more.
