London-based Edward Upton, better known as DMX Krew, Ed DMX, or simply
Edmx, stepped into the limelight with his releases on the legendary Rephlex label, soon after starting his own imprint
Breakin' Records. His fascination for electronic music started at the early age of 10, with synth-pop groups like Kraftwerk or Information Society, but also hip-hop artists like Erik B. & Rakim and Public Enemy - influences that can easily be discerned in the unique DMX sound, oscillating between funked-up synth-pop and dark and moody electro breaks.
