On his latest mini album Ed DMX once again takes his favourite analogue machines out for a spin. Six tracks of quirky, retro-futuristic electro, with 'Chi Sygni' standing out as one of the finest pieces we have heard from Mr. Upton in a while. Recommended.

Welcome to 2012 and our first update of the year! 'The problem starts with the word electro,' goes a quote by Detroit's DJ Stingray, and indeed the e-word has been applied to pretty much any other genre beside the cold, synthetic funk of Kraftwerk, Model 500 more...

Elektro Guzzi, Marcel Dettmann, Sepalcure, Surkin
If you are based on the planet's northern hemisphere like we are, chances are you're either looking for a melancholic soundtrack to the greyness outside or some cheerful music to counter its adverse effects right now.
Either way, this month's releases more...
Ed DMX on an electronica tip this time around, with braindance melodies and more abstract beats dominating the majority of his 'BRK59' EP. Tracks like 'TR808 Echo Beats' might proove a bit too brooding for the electro pop crowd, but fans of early Squarepusher and AFX will absolutely dig this.

DMX Krew joins the Permanent Vacation camp for 'The Game', an unashamed reverence of 1980s synth-pop and proto acid house. The title track's two mixes are complemented by the Moroderesque 'Disco Theme' and the electro-funk of 'Taking Your Own Advice'. Sugar sweet and candy-coated.
That Was Harder Than I Expected
(Track 01 on this EP)
Four pieces in a more classic electro vein than DMX Krew's simultaneous outing on Permanent Vaccation, 'That Was Harder Than I Expected' nevertheless has Ed Upton's talent for sentimental pop melodies shine through its spares and funky grooves.

Picked!
DMX Krew steps up the fun(k) factor with his second full-length album in only 5 months. Where 'The March To The Stars' was a largely instrumental and spaced-out affair, 'Kiss Goodbye' is unadulterated electro-pop with Ed DMX on the mic and p-funk licks thrown in for good measure. H.O.T.!
