Artist:	DMX KREW
Title:	Wave:CD
Label:	REPHLEX (UK)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	REPH 155CD

Compilation of Edward Upton/Ed DMX's (Computor Rockers, EDMX) finest work. This double CD is basically the "best of" the last three DMX Krew / The Collapse of the Wave Function LPs but with a couple of exclusive vocal versions of tracks that were instrumentals on the vinyl. Also included is a CD of "our most requested records" -- a kind of DMX Krew/Rephlex greatest hits, mostly edited a bit to make them better. Tracks from every DMX Krew release on Rephlex are included going back nine years! His newest album and pair of 7" singles: The Collapse Of The Wave Function is similar in spirit to some of the Arpanet releases, and reveals a deeper, more considered side to his production, featuring ambient and experimental tracks as well as quirkier dancefloor numbers. From easy listening for machines, to Minneapolis funk on painkillers, Wave offers slanted perspectives on music inspired by quantum physics and late-night dance attacks.

"Collapse of the Wave Function is the new mini album from DMX Krew aka Ed Dmx. It's quite simply, different from anything else Ed has ever done before, but still recognisably DMX Krew. It's Music from the golden age of the future. This is an album based around the 'Copenhagen Interpretation' of quantum physics, which is to do with the dual wave/particle nature of reality. For instance electrons tend to act like waves and are 'smeared' out over all possible states until their location is measured. The act of making a measurement or 'observation' causes the wave function of the electron to decohere and it then occupies a particular point in spacetime. It isn't just that the electron could be in a number of places and you don't know until you look, experimental evidence has shown that, until you look, the electron really is every (possible) where. According to the Copenhagen Interpretation, any quantum system simultaneously occupies all possible states for that system until it is observed. Since we believe the quantum theory of matter to be true, and everything in the universe is made of matter (or antimatter) this holds for all systems on all scales, in fact the entire universe is a quantum system. Extrapolating from here, it is true to say that, until you remove it from its sleeve, place it on the platter and listen to it, the album you are holding in your hands contains every conceivable piece of music. Only the act of listening to the record causes the wave function of the music to collapse, allowing the listener to enjoy the mellifluous sounds therein. We believe we are the first to apply this principle to recorded sound and are therefore proud to be able to bring you an album of previously undreamed of uncertainty."

Title:	Many Worlds (Collapse of the Wave Function - Vol. 4)
Label:	REPHLEX (UK)
Format:	LP
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	REPH 175LP

This is the fourth release in synth-pop Londoner DMX Krew's (Edward Upton, Ed DMX, Computor Rockers, EDMX) The Collapse Of The Wave Function series, an exploration of the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Physics. Regular DMX Krew electro synth-pop dance trax morph into something profound, universal and slanted. From the sounds of the Eventide Harmoniser (the first digital effects unit) to the righteous yet drowsy funk of analogue synths, this series reveals a deeper, more considered side to DMX Krew's production, featuring quirkier dancefloor fillers. Collapse of the wave function: think electro/techno with hints of ambience, throw in some grime, some braindance, and you've just about grasped the theory.

Title:	The Transactional Interpretation
Label:	REPHLEX (UK)
Format:	LP
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	REPH 176LP

.... (Collapse of the Wave Function - Vol. 5) This is the fifth volume in synth-pop Londoner DMX Krew's (Edward Upton, Ed DMX, Computor Rockers, EDMX) Collapse Of The Wave Function series, an exploration of the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Physics. The Transactional Interpretation LP is a third way of understanding the laws of quantum physics. From the sounds of the Eventide Harmoniser (the first digital effects unit) in "Clock Works" to the righteous yet drowsy funk of analogue synths in "Dydramol Theme," The Transactional Interpretation continues the theme of deep exploration into the strata of electro/pop/synth/dance tunes. Never one to follow trends, this release features a mix of ambient and experimental tracks as well as quirkier dancefloor anthems. Throw in some grime, some braindance, and you've just about grasped the theory. These are top tunes.

"We at Turbo are longtime fans of DMX Krew, so it's a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label White Leather. We don't normally trace an artist's history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. With all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays it's easy to forget who the real masters are. Ed DMX is one of them. I've always held a soft spot for Ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. Hearing his live version of the Knight Rider theme at Sona (Tiga's club circa '96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. Of all the artists I'd met up until then, he was the coolest: he could play synths better than anyone I'd ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set, but he was a sweet, soft-spoken, and super funny guy. For reasons I've never understood, Ed's pop side didn't seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn? interesting stuff, but a departure from the bright immediacy I loved in his earlier records. I was starting to put him into that category of genius artist that pissed me off because they weren't making the music I wanted them to make, but were on some brain-trip doing things I didn't understand (think Aphex Twin, Prince, Jori Hulkkonen...). So I let him fall off my radar.. and then.. 2007 rolls around and his alias 101 Force drops Tha Return, followed shortly thereafter by SH101 Triggers MS10, easily two of my favorite records of the year and some of the best acid house ever made. Buy them now. I could blather on and on about how incredible those records are, but the important thing is that we took action and signed The Bass Drop. This EP doesn't reference or pay homage to acid house so much as it embodies it. This is the real deal. It is with great pride that we bring you DMX Krew, same as he ever was, the analog don back to school all you blog-turds in the art of the acid groove."
