Stewart Walker Bio:

After selling his guitar and abandoning „lead singer‰ ambitions in Athens,
Georgia in 1993, Stewart Walker started to assemble a studio. Starting
with a synth, a drum machine, and a guitar amp, he'd work the filter knobs
until the paint rubbed off while dreaming of standing on stage in front of
adoring fans and flashing lights.

From such humble beginnings, Stewart stepped up his knowledge of
synthesis, drum programming and mixing. His early techno enthusiasm
expressed itself in a line of recordings which began with Detroit-based
labels in 1997, leading eventually to larger projects with well-known
European techno labels such as Minus, Tresor, and Mille Plateaux.

In 2001, he founded his first imprint Persona Records which released almost 50 EPs and albums by
himself and other talents such as Touane, Reynold, and Andrea Sartori. Ten years later in 2011,
Stewart founded Son of Cataclysm as an artistic reaction to the economic and human rights
crises of our time.

Successes with Persona and other independent labels have brought Stewart's shows to worldwide
audiences for 15 years. Stewart has been a fixture on the global club circuit from Tokyo to Berlin,
New York to California and all world capitals in between. Always playing live original music has
endeared Stewart to fans who are looking for soul and wisdom in their entertainment. A step beyond
the simplicity of hedonism and personal abandon, Stewart Walker has built a legacy as a techno
musician who still believes in the sound of the future.
