Rephlex DMX Krew - Where is a good place to start??

[Guest MastaN8]

I love 80's electro-hop and really didnt give this guy much of a listen untill now... I know he's got 6 albums out on rephlex... Where should I start?

[Hugh Mughnus]

The album "Wave Funk" is AWESOME in my opinion. I think that's a decent place to start!

 

It's ripe with analog synths...

[Redruth]

frreesssshhh!!!!

[modey]

My favourites are We Are DMX and Collapse of the Wave Function. We Are DMX is total shameless 80s style synthpop, and Collapse is like a bangin' version of 70s German electronic music.

[Root5]

We are DMX

[YEK]

the older stuff is more 80s

[Chris Toffer]

I am also curious where is a good place to start.

 

Got hold of most of his albums a while ago but haven't really bothered listening to any cos there's so many

wrong, check out this label:

http://www.discogs.com/label/Fresh+Up+Records

 

nearly all of it is ed

and very 80s

[modey]

Has he released any more vocal albums recently?

[dr lopez]

we are dmx

 

but also: march to the stars is really great and easy listening -- A bunch more just came from the label.. i grabbed mine for like 10 bucks and normally they run for 30!

I started with We Are DMX, so I'll parrot that suggestion. It's a great album oozing with 80s cheese (20 Minute Affair).

my bad. i haven't been following his new stuff very much.

[Guest Papillon]

Nu Romantix is very good. I didn't really like sound of the street when it came out but I haven't listened to it in a decade so I should take another listen.

 

This is from Nu Romantix

god damn, this thread has made me want to revisit early DMX Krew. Awesome!

 

I saw him in '04 and he was excellent. He was singing too. So good.

[Adieu]

dmx krew from this year is pretty good too. more acidic than the electro stuff you are seeking though.

DMX Krew is one of the most underrated and consistently high-quality artists around the IDM/Rephlex crowd IMO.

Not to mention, he's a super nice guy, he actually responded to my message on facebook about a production technique on one of his tracks... plus he's awesome enough to put up this site - you can see his studio (circa like 2008?) and he even sampled a ton of his gear for listens and gives a few tips on how he does his music.

 

Big ups to Ed

[modey]

Yeah, I had a bunch of email conversations with him in '04; we talked about vocoders and deliberately playing records at the wrong speed. Great guy!

Troons eargasms can be heard year-round

I can feel ur luv.

[Guest Hanratty]

I know all the early stuff, and it's great, but can anyone describe his recent output? Is he evolving? how so? I kind of thought his music was maturing from the little I heard, and I don't remember what I heard.

[GraveGlitcher]

Is he evolving?

most definitely
