Konceptualizer and Dimensional Holophonic Sound at Up The Creek Records

Konceptualizer was created by Patrick Dintino and Don Porcella to feature an international collective of visual artists and musicians. An Exquisite Corpse of music, the artists create a part and pass it on to the next, intuitively shaping it into something surprising. Through their journey they‘ve found that chance encounters can bear delicious musical fruit. Their debut album 'Think for Yourself' is an attempt at pushing back on corporate media and a satirical look at the posthuman world we live in. The resulting beats of electronic, trip hop and acid jazz create a rhythmic pulse subverting the currency of society.

Dimensional Holofonic Sound blazed a trail with the release of the EP, House of God back in 1990. The title track became a techno anthem and global hit, and has been featured in DJ sets by Aphex Twin, Ken Ishi and Joey Beltram. That first, DHS EP was reviled by other giants in electronic music like The Orb, Josh Wink, Meat Beat Manifesto and DJ Shadow. All the above have collaborated with Stokes as a visual artist in the years since. DHS also produced ground breaking videos that aired on MTV and became influential to other visual artists like Hextatic and Emergency Broadcast Network, (EBN.)
Currently, Stokes is a member of Meat Beat Manifesto and, together with Jack Dangers, runs Tino Corp. Records. Quiet World, Relaxalot is the Label's 14th release. All the while, Stokes continues directing and designing visual work for a host of clients including the DJ Shadow Live show, (2001 to the present,) massive building projections for S.F.City Hall, as well as performing as a VJ at EDM Festivals across the country.
