One of 2005's biggest underground dance tracks.

  • We Say...

    Wagon Repair — founded in 2004 by Matthew Jonson, Todd Shillington (aka Konrad Black) and Jesse Fisk (aka Loose Change) — didn't waste any time in establishing its idiosyncratic identity.

    Its first record, the Missing Link's Screw Loose EP, released in the last week of December — hardly an auspicious time to bring out a vinyl single by an unknown artist — staked the label's claim to a neglected parcel of techno terrain, emphasizing rough-hewn machine rhythms and grumpy electronic tones that were neither obviously analog nor digital, sampled nor synthesized. From the beginning, Wagon Repair was not an either/or proposition, but an and/but one.

    With Wagon Repair 04, featuring Mathew Jonson's "Return of the Zombie Bikers," the label showed its affinity for out-and-out monster jams. Riding a staggering, syncopated beat and wooing dancers with a snake charmer's portamento riffs, "Return" was one of 2005's biggest tracks and remains one of the label's most gripping.
