He's been a major figure on the scene almost since the moment he emerged on Itiswhatitis in 2001, with hotly tipped singles for Perlon and Minus quickly raising his profile. Since then, he's turned out 20-odd singles and EPs, plus remixes for the Chemical Brothers, Moby, Swayzak and even Nelly Furtado. Add to that another nine singles and two albums with Cobblestone Jazz, plus two more EPs with Midnight Operator (Jonson's duo with his brother Nathan Jonson, aka Hrdvsion) and the Modern Deep Left Quartet. He keeps busy.

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.

Nach Singles für Perlon und Minus, Remixes für Chemical Brothers, Moby, Swayzak und Nelly Furtado das Soloalbum des Cobblestone Jazz-Mitglieds!
Mathew Johnson zählt seit seinem Karrierestart 2001 zu den absoluten Größen der internationalen Elektronikszene. Nach über 20 Singleveröffentlichungen, Remixen für Künstler wie Chemical Brothers, Moby, Swayzak und Nelly Furtado und 2 erfolgreichen Alben mit Cobblestone Jazz liefert er nun sein seit langem erwartetes Debütalbum als Solokünstler. “Agents Of Time“ besticht durch den typischen Jonsons-Sound, wagt sich aber auch in stilistische Bereiche vor die man von Mathew Jonson bisher nicht kannte.
