"This compilation presents the very best of $tinkworx released so far, for the first time on CD, from almost all out-of-print 12" releases. The compilation presents very early works, from the first two 7" singles, released on their own Down Low label, the now worldwide recognized underground techno outlet. Already both those releases caught a lot of attention and were later on even twice re-released by Rush Hour, as well as by the XL-label related Platinum Projects-label. Also on this compilation are four tracks from out-of-print releases of The Hague's Bunker label, and Rotterdam's Keynote label. These tracks, all together with newer tracks from his three 12" releases on Delsin, making it the complete overview of the works of $tinkworx so far. Especially for this occasion, all tracks are fully re-mastered by electrofunk king Dexter (Klakson). Please now enjoy the electrodisco sounds of $tinkworx. With his sounds along the lines of Drexciya, Metro Area, Dopplereffekt, Daniel Wang and others."

Catalog #:	REG 115EP

Originally released in 2005. "Sometime in the late '90s, from the depths of the US, a distinctive little 7" with a fresh dance floor sound appeared. Alerting the ears of the underground, it was picked up for re-release by two European labels...Rushhour Records and Platinum Projects. Whut went on to sell several thousand copies, announcing $tinkworx's arrival on the electronic scene. $tinkworx went onto release a series of records on Holland's Delsin, Bunker and Keynote labels, while his own DownLow imprint established itself as a premier underground electronic label, bringing new artists to the fore as well as releasing material by Dan Curtin, Convextion and Iridite. DownLow was also the label responsible for releasing the long lost Connection Machine album Painless which was once due on Carl Craig's Planet E label, and often thought of as one of the best techno long players ever written. Taking in the raw drums of Chicago, fusing it with the beauty and soul of Detroit's machine music, passing through electronic disco and Italo on the way, the seemingly tired cliches of these influences this time offer a unique quirky sound. His first EP for New Religion kicks off with the raw cut-up metallic future disco of 'Ullumunum,' passing through the deeper shade of techno on 'Torquemada' and 'Niaruna,' to the uplifting melody and hooks of 'Dowg Disease.'"
