MATHEW JONSON !
(Itiswhatitis, Minus, Perlon, Substatic, Arbutus) with residents Max Power VS Son Of Jacob littlejon In an interview on BBC, When Richie Hawtin was asked "who would be the next big star in techno?", Vancouver's own, Mathew Jonson was his answer. Mathew has been playing to dancing crowds all over the world. Germany, Spain, U.K., Italy, France, Australia, Switzerland, USAand of course Canada. He has been playing along side the worlds best techno artists producers and DJ's. Now KCUF UOY will be added to his list of shows. Mathew will be playing hard techno using records, his laptop, and Final Scratch, and will be banging out some new unreleased stuff for us. Thursday - Dec 9th @ Lick [455 Abbott St] Cover $7.00 (sorry -no freebies before 10 for this event) (no open decks) bio for MJ...... Vancouver B.C.'s own Mathew Jonson has built a solid reputation over the past 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 ingenue. Formally trained in drums, percussion from a young age, Mat also has practiced classical piano. In fact, a young MJ played in the under 18 concert band at the age of 11, a feat made spectacular by his early ability to improvise in lieu of reading music. Through his father's interest in early electronic music and instruments, Mat discovered a new form of sound and musical composition, a form he began to tweak and fiddle with at 10 years of age, utilizing keyboards, basic sequencers and sound modules. Between 12 and 17 years, Matt began experimenting with computer-based sequencing and sound-composing being the logical extension of his early box instruments. A visit to the monolithic Vancouver World Fair in 1986 catapulted the youngster into a world of compu-based generation and musical exploration. The focus of this globally influential event was the transmission of humans and information in the digital age, a catalytic theme for the young Jonson and his already burgeoning sense for production. During his late teens and early twenties, Matt could be found performing regularly in Vancouver, Victoria and environs throughout. An increasingly personal interest in live performance prompted Mat to focus again on outboard equipment, old 80's analogues with a primarily hands-on usage. Mat's deeply moody solo performances, combined with his impressive session playing in the Modern Deep Left Quartet and Cobblestone Jazz, served to build a reputation for masterful composition, riveting and intensely emotional musicianship and, ultimately, national and international acclaim. His solo productions for Itiswhatitis and a collaborative Perlon recording with Luciano have brought him broad international attention and exposure, evident in his tours to Switzerland, Germany, Spain and the USA. Although Mat's Itiswhatitis releases have been licensed by such luminaries as Dan Bell, Ricardo Villalobos and Carl Craig, attracted the praise of Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier and Larry Heard, Mat's understated modesty speaks through the deeply personal nature of his work, a testament to his artistry and genuine character.
