MUTEK 2024 | Mathew Jonson, A Master’s Magic

The PAN M 360 team is criss-crossing the entire MUTEK 2024 program, observing as many artists as possible during this 25th edition of its Montreal version. Keep up with our experts until Sunday evening, as no other MUTEK event promises such extensive media coverage!

Berlin-based Canadian Mathew Jonson, a staple of the electronic music scene for the past two decades, closed the show with a bang! The sonic experience was at its peak. Rich in diversity. Warm and round sounds. Jazzy at times, with a touch of electronic samba, not to mention the interweaving of techno and house, the evocations of xylophones and marimbas, and the multiple effects. A regular on stage and in live performances, he worked his magic non-stop, making us completely forget the rainy ceiling and cool temperatures. Regularly touring internationally, including Sydney, Bali, Ibiza, Berlin, London, Naples and Tulum, this globe-trotting performer made Montreal shine during his twilight set. Indeed, this seasoned music producer, who has released albums such as Marionette, Decompression and Agents of Time, was applauded by the international electronic community. And now, by the MUTEK 2024 audience!
