One of the fundamental producers on Manchester's IDM-oriented Ai label, Mark Stewart debuted his Claro Intelecto assumed name in 2003 with the Pacification of Mind 12". Both tracks from the A-side fared considerably; the title cut wound up on several year-end DJ lists and "Touch" was included on Ricardo Villalobos' Taka Taka commix album. In early 2004, Stewart released a second 12" (Division), and a full-length -- Neurofibro, named afterward a genetic disease that he has suffered from -- followed in late April. As with most of his labelmates, Stewart gleans stirring from early electro and Detroit techno (Afrika Bambaataa, Model 500, Drexciya), along with U.K. IDM labels like Warp, Skam, and Rephlex.
