SCOOP: Mathew Jonson (live) for Circo Loco opening

Terrifically tasty addition to Ibiza 2006's opening weekend.

Mathew JonsonMathew Jonson (left) and his mind-bending machines have for several years now had the power to make sussed club kids go weak at the knees and shortly thereafter leap into the air with great vigour. His name will look good on the posters for Circo Loco opening and the roamin' Romans will be ecstatic to have landed him for their opening on Monday June 5.

Matt's just finished playing the Winter Music Conference performing with an Elektron Machinedrum, a Motu 828MKII, a Midi Controller, a Midas Venus V240, an Ensoniq DP4 and Ableton Live 3 (apparently) which sounds like a lot of kit to lug into an environment as uniquely testing as Circo Loco's Monday morning session.

It's unclear whether the Canadian will risk that lot in the steamiest, seamiest clubbing experience the White Isle has to offer. But assuming he makes it to the booth with at least some expensive hardware still on him, the response when he whips out whatever red hot remix of notorious hits 'Marionette' and 'Decompression' he has tucked up his hard drive could quite possibly knock a wall over. Scoff not, it's happened before.

As announced earlier he'll also be playing Cocoon at Amnesia in July but has not been announced as part of the line up for Sonar in Barcelona. So if you're on the Iberian peninsula and you'd like to experience the latest wares from this masterful musician then you'd better catch the Friday night ferry over from Barcelona.

He'll be joined at the opening by Loco Dice, Tania Vulcano, Fabrizio, Cirillo, Andrew Grant and Luciano, and others.
