Acclaimed UK electronic music producer, DMX Krew has announced a brand-new album, Unlikely Seeming, on the Byrd Out label. The eight-track album showcases his blend of joyous, melodic synth hooks, textured pads and analogue drum machine rhythms. Leaving to one side pummeling sounds, the focus of this album is on sonic fun, mining the '80s pop vibe DMX Krew does so well. BBC 6 Music's Tom Ravenscroft describes the trailing single "Wednesday Memory" as "the funkiest thing ever; it's almost too joyous." From the first "A New Story," through to "Uncertain Calculation," DMX Krew delivers densely layered and satisfying tracks, demonstrating the more imaginative side of his output. The slight outlier is "Continuation" which offers the most forceful 303 workout, best suited to a sweaty dance floor in the early hours. Overall, the feel is playful, intelligent, melodic and wonderfully fun -- best exemplified by multi-synth masterpiece "Data Cruncha" and Megadrive-esque title track "Unlikely Seeming." To finish the album, "Unlikely Seeming" is given a rework by Portland-based artist Break Mode, managing to achieve a remix that is at once ethereal and uplifting -- it has 4am written all over it. DMX Krew, aka Edward Upton, has been crafting innovative electronic music for nearly 30 years, releasing on the likes of Rephlex, Central Processing Unit, and Gudu. With a sound rooted in synth-pop, electro, and Italo disco, DMX Krew's music evokes nostalgia for pop melodies and the early days of rave culture.

After the re-release of the classic Nu Romantix album (PERMVAC 173-1LP), Ed DMX aka DMX Krew returns to Permanent Vacation with his new album, Party Life. This time the long-haired UK legend is taking a step back from his trademark electro and techno sound and putting on his romancing suit. Ed is crooning over '80s styled boogie, disco, and funk tracks in a way only he can do it and that will either make you jump for joy or cruising down the coastal promenade. Party Life is another example why Ed is a master of all crafts in the ever expanding DMX Krew universe.

BYR 014EP
|
Stellar Gateway is five tracks of beautifully honed, acid-laced electro from Ed Upton (aka DMX Krew), who continues to be an unstoppable musical force. To pick out two tracks, "Opening Statement", unsurprisingly the first track on the EP is a complex beast, with pulsing layers of sounds and beautiful melody. "Stellar Gateway" kicks off the B Side, evoking an cosmic trip. Acid doesn't need to be in yer face; it can creep up quietly, but still whisk you away to the dance floor.

"He Sings! He Dances! The fabulous new album!!!" says the original sticker on DMX Krew's Nu Romantix LP and nothing changed 20 years later for Edward Uptown, aka Ed DMX. Permanent Vacation marks the 20th anniversary of this influential album, originally released in 1998, with this special re-release. The music is now as relevant as it was 20 years ago, when the king of electro power ballads sings about the essential things in life and takes you to the place called love -- that is more needed than ever before. Presented here for the first time on a loud and sharp 45rpm, double 12". The set includes an instrumental of "Come To Me" as bonus track. Carefully remastered by Lopazz.

Since releasing his last album on Hypercolour in February 2016, You Exist (HYPE 005LP), DMX Krew has not for one moment rested on laurels, releasing two further LPs on the Ekster and Abstract Form labels, as well as EPs and singles for Central Processing Unit, Shipwrec, Revoke, and more. Continuing to remain faithful to the roots of electro, IDM, and the deeper shades of techno, and without compromise, DMX Krew cranks out emotive and brain scrambling electronica at a mighty rate, and never disappoints. Strange Directions is album number 21 from DMX Krew, and lands once more on Hypercolour, the British label that continues to make heady waves in the music scene with genre shifting releases from the likes of Matthew Herbert, Luke Vibert, Gary Gritness, The Cyclist, Outboxx, and A Sagittariun since the release of You Exist. You'll know what kind of ride you are in for from the first few bars of album opener "Snowy Blue"; hypnotizing bass and spatial keys float over dusty micro breaks, produced with an infectious aesthetic that continues over the long player's fifty-five minute tenure. Experimental and expansive joints such as "Odd Chill" and "Strange Directions" sit comfortably alongside funkier techno jams such as "Thin Hype" and "Zero Sum", whilst the melancholic synth sensibilities of tracks like "Hip Hopeless" and "Axial Mode Beat" catches DMX Krew in fine form. Another fine set of highly polished and visionary electronic goodies from one of the scene's most dedicated and consistent players. Comes in a full picture, reverse board jacket; Includes download code.

Ed DMX aka DMX Krew, the visionary British electronic producer responsible for a slew of excellent releases for labels like Rephlex, Spectral Sound, and Permanent Vacation and his own Breakin' Records and Fresh Up Records since the mid-1990s, presents You Exist, his debut appearance on Hypercolour. Nine tracks of beautifully crafted, melodic electronic sounds. From the opener, "Spiritual Encounter," DMX sets the tone perfectly with oodles of pitch-perfect synth riffs and driving drums, working his way through snappy and bright pop moments like "Hard Copy" to darker, more melancholic cuts like "Computational Paradigm Shift." DMX breezes in and out of electro techno territory and more contemplative IDM vibes with ease. You Exist is a consistent, engaging work that captures a truly genuine musical form, produced and delivered with love from one of the scene's unsung heroes to please the ears of discerning listeners everywhere.

Permanent Vacation is very proud to present a four track EP with new material from DMX Krew. "The Game" is a great synth pop/new wave track in the best DMX Krew tradition with a massive Chicago bass line and Ed's distinctive vocals. In the "Dance Mix" the original gets "electronicized" by Ed himself for heavy dancefloor action. The flipside sees two analog boogie disco house tunes of the highest order.

REPH 204CD
|
Evolving from where Collapse Of The Wave Function (REPH 155LP) and Wave Funk Vol. 1 vinyl EP left off, this is a wide variety of entertaining listening spanning the realms of electronic dance music. This is one CD of brand-new material + one CD of previously vinyl-only releases. 35 tracks in total. Ed DMX lives in London where he makes music and runs his label Breakin' Records. He also travels around DJing and performing live most weekends in different parts of the world. The first DMX Krew release was 1995's Got You On My Mind on Dutch label DAP, and this was followed in 1996 by Sound Of The Street on Aphex Twin's label Rephlex. This record hinted at what was to come with its mix of instrumental electro, synth-pop and techno made on vintage equipment. Lots more releases followed, mainly through Rephlex, but also on diverse labels including International Deejay Gigolos, Ersatz Audio, Sonic Groove and several others. DMX Krew remixes have also appeared of various artists including Gentle People, Biochip C, Denki Groove, Le Car and many others. In 1997, Ed DMX started his label Breakin' Records, which gained a cult following as one of the UK's first electro and bass labels with releases from DMX Krew and under the alias Computor Rockers, as well as first signings Bass Junkie, Mandroid and Ceephax Acid Crew. The last three albums and pair of 7" singles released on Rephlex under the umbrella of Collapse Of The Wave Function reveal a deeper, more considered side to his production, featuring ambient and experimental tracks as well as quirkier dancefloor fillers.

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.

.... (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.
