Stink Floyd unveils new single 'Good Enough' via Thomorrow Records
Other | Tuesday 29th September 2015 | Lilly
One of, if not the most elusive producer on the Jersey Club’s scene, Stink Floyd, unveiled his debut ‘Good Enough’ a few weeks back.
The first track to be lifted from his forthcoming EP Fish You Were Here, the track was premiered by worldwide tastemaker Tonedeaf. ‘
Stink Floyd first hit the scene in 2014 when friend and collaborator L’Etranger, released Stink Floyd’s debut EP Stank Side as a free download on his label, Thomorrow. Since then, in little over a year, his work has gained support from TR!CK$, who remixed the record ‘Briethe’, R3LL who premiered the track on BBC Radio 1 and Spazzkid who commissioned Stink for an official remix released on Daedelus’ label ‘Magical Properties’.
Heavily and overtly influenced by Baltimore, Philly and Jersey Club producers before him, Stink Floyd relates to the culture and community of Jersey Club like no other movement. Jersey Club has been a cultural phenomenon in its own state for over 15 years, with the past few years seeing its popularity expanding to global climbs. But hyper-local styles such as Jersey Club, and others such as Chicago Footwork, have cultures that are spread way beyond the music. It’s for this reason, that Stink Floyd doesn’t take a cent for the music he makes. He doesn’t believe that it’s his to take.
“I’m not intentionally appropriating Club music culture for my own gain whether it be in the form of the dollar bill, facebook likes or bookings” he explains. “I do it because I love the sound, the culture and the community and I can personally relate to the culture like no other movement”. So instead, he puts his music out for free and with his second EP Fish You Were Here he is encouraging people to donate to the charity The Community Food Bank of New Jersey.
“This is a cause which is really close to my heart. I’m going to remain anonymous not because it’s a gimmick or that I’m afraid to stand by my work, but because no one wants to meet me. I genuinely have a serious problem with my odour. Stink.”
Stink Floyd has no intention of being anything other than anonymous, leaving his fans unable to identify anything beyond his nom-de-plume and infamous stench.
