Fundamental Records announces DMX Krew retrospective

The Madrid-based electro label pays homage to two decades of music from Ed Upton in rather conclusive fashion with an upcoming 12×12″ boxset. 

The broad spectrum of electro that UK artist Ed Upton deals in under his numerous psuedonyms ensures there is a constant stream of labels gleeful in their attempts to facilitate its wider release. The most recent example being Tabernacle offshoot Ride The Gyroscope who have entrusted the next two editions of the series to Upton under the shortened EDMX, with that news arriving in the aftermath of a 19th DMX Krew album, You Exist, which came on Bristol’s ever-sprawling Hypercolour operation. Any Upton fans out there that have been daydreaming about a boxset housing vast swathers of his output will be thrilled to discover there is a label that have been thinking along similar lines with the means to execute it.

Step forward Madrid electro enthusiasts Fundamental Records who have been putting together limited edition vinyl releases dedicated to the form since 2010 under the tutelage of founder Alek Stark. After an initial focus on compilations, Fundamental expanded their remit to include artist albums and issued the 100 Tears LP from DMX Krew in 2014. In an effort to prove their outright love for all things Upton-shaped, Fundamental have sunk deep into his archive for 1995-2015, a self-explanatory but faintly ridiculous boxset consisting of more than fifty tracks featuring rare original material along with remixes from the likes of Aphex Twin, JTC, Jodey Kendricks, Aux 88 and more. Here is the kicker: it comes in the shape of twelve 12″s housed in an old school-style record shop bag. Scroll down for the entire tracklisting…keep scrolling….

Fundamental Records will release 1995-2015 by DMX Krew on March 26.
