Innovative multi-instrumentalist and electronic luminary Mathew Jonson returns to Crosstown Rebels with 'Tako Tako'.The Canadian synth wizard returns to Damian Lazarus' renowned imprint with two magical and absorbing new productions, with the most excellent two-tracker.Mathew Jonson has developed one of the most distinctive voices in electronic dance music. His take on house and techno is rich in synth craft and high on captivating emotions, all shaped by his notoriously extensive collection of analogue and hardware gear that he can play, manipulate and use like few others. An electronic mastermind renowned for releasing countless seminal tracks and albums, both solo and as a member of Cobblestone Jazz, he returns to a label that has been a constant throughout his career. With his 'Tako Tako' EP, he offers two more superb journeys on Crosstown Rebels.The fantastic 'Tako Tako' kicks off with Jonson's signature mix of elegant and refined synth craft, with dancing melodies bringing futuristic energy and neon colour to crunchy beats. They are smeared and smudged in a painterly fashion and help make this production a pulsating dancefloor thrill. Equally standout is 'Just a Little Bit', powered by a jostling broken beat with a warm bassline and wordless vocals sampled throughout. It's funky, kinetic, always on the move, and rounds out another one of Jonson's fantastically inventive yet effective EPs.
