Best known for his releases across Bunker, Delsin, W.T. Recordings and more under the shark loving $tinkworx moniker, US producer JT Stewart is retaining the Drexciyan themes that ran through that recent 12inch while reining in some of the dread filled textures that permeated its every pore in favour of a more classicist take on the Detroit Utopian techno vision.
Newworldaquarium’s new ‘Indishe Buurt’ imprint is now officially up and running and goes straight into it. The first record is from JT Stewart aka $tinkworx who it seems has the Mono/Poly on this Drexciyan homage sound.
A-side is a great track by Scan 7, previously released in 1993 on the ”Magic Tracks Compilation” CD only. This is your chance to finally have it on vinyl! The B-side is a techno track in the well known Stinkworx style, and quality.
$tinkworx, a.k.a. JT Stewart, grew up in rural upstate New York in the Albany area. Being the son of an infamous record collector; Mike Stewart (to this day operating one of the highest regarded rare record shops in the world), music was constantly heard in the Stewart home. JT decided he wanted to try to make some electronic music. Luckily he received a vintage analog synthesizer (a Roland JX8P) as a gift from his parents. He acquired a cheap drum machine and more pieces of equipment and started making songs. He sent them to his favorite labels, and received overwhelmingly responses from Morgan Geist (Metro Area) at his Environ label, and from Russ Gabriel (Ferox). But having only cheap recording equipment and little money, it would be a while before any $tinkworx material being released.
