About

Spacetime Continuum (Jonah Sharp) is a producer, remixer, and DJ. Jonah was born in Edinburgh. Then after starting his musical career as a jazz drummer in London, United Kingdom, he moved to San Francisco, United States.

He is also Reflective Records label manager and artist, who has earned considerable respect in the electronic music field, for his solo work. He played an important role during the 1990s, in consolidating the global experimental ambient and techno scene, through his Reflective Records imprint, as well as releasing a string of solo studio albums on Astralwerks and Virgin Records. He has worked with many artists including a live album with writer and philosopher Terence McKennna. And also collaborations with Mixmaster Morris, Haruomi Hosono of Yellow Magic Orchestra, Pete Namlook, Ursula Rucker, Move D, Tetsu Inoue and Bill Laswell to name but a few.

An Edinburgh, Scotland native, he started his musical life as a drummer, playing with various art-school punk bands inspired by the super-8 film ethic, of the likes of Caberet Voltaire and early Human League.

After briefly flirting with the late 1980s London acid jazz club scene, as a session drummer, he soon realised the possibilities of a sampler and a drum machine, as a solo performer. Excited by the sounds of Detroit techno, Chicago house, and the electronic music that was coming from Europe. He started performing live and DJ’ing at parties in London in 1989. But decided that the chill-out room offered more potential for realising what he was trying to communicate musically.

He then left London for America in 1992, settling in San Francisco, where he established his Reflective Records label and recorded the bulk of his work to date. Split over a number of different project headings (Emit Ecaps, Alien Community, Reagenz, Electro Harmonix, and Strange Attractor). His most consistently visible work though has been as Spacetime Continuum, most of which was released by Astralwerks and Reflective Records labels.

He has performed live electronic music and DJ’ed all over the world, including a slot at the very 1st Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2000, curated by Carl Craig. And on Mount Fuji in 1999, in front of 18,000 people during an insane torrential rain storm.

He has remixed the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Meat Beat Manifesto and Matt Herbert, and had his music in numerous movies including Darren Aronofsky's 1998 movie Pi.

Recent work includes the 2009 album Playtime with Move D, under the project name Reagenz, released on Workshop. And the 2022 album Empress Eyes with Its Own Infinite Flower.
