Mathew Jonson – Typerope EP

For some reason, my copy has slightly different label art than any of the ones shown on here. Anyone else?

Typerope is definitely the headline track, but listen also to Magic Through Music. It's a bit of a gem.

The pad/bleepy noise that undulates throughout the track is so catchy that all Mathew needed to do was tweak the elements to make a great track. But, the layout is also great, with parts building and fading in a subtle but spellbinding manner.

At 8:07 this track is long enough to verge on melchior/villalobos territory in terms of deepness but without getting boring, or too noodley. It never fails to send me off on one.

This record is a monster of a track and probably Mathew's best known track. I remember the day i got this. The guy in Koobla records handed me every release on itiswhatitis and i played through them and bought the lot. You really cant go wrong with this label. Typerope has such a great chugging bassline that works at any time in a set. Its one of those tracks that if you dont know what it is, as soon as you get it, youll say to yourself - Oh its that track! Its definately my top track of 2003.
The first copies were released on clear vinyl.
