  • A one-of-a-kind drum machine, made from scratch.
    Best known as DMX Krew, Ed Upton has been making acid, electro and IDM-laced bangers since the early ‘90s for some of the underground’s best-loved labels, including Aphex Twin’s Rephlex, Legowelt’s Strange Life and, more recently, Hypercolour.
    When Upton’s favorite drum machine - an ultra rare RSF SD140 - was stolen and he couldn’t find another one, he learned how to solder and designed and built his own. The Opal Rhythm Computor is a drum machine and sampler filled with sounds from his Roland Alpha Juno synth that doesn’t look or sound like anything you can buy in a store.
    Watch it in action above and find his new album Strange Directions at Bandcamp.

    I remember listening to a mix that this guy made in 2004 under the name Ed DMX and it was mainly Grime with some early 90s Hardcore. It was a great mix

      Unfortunately no I haven't. I used to listen to it all the time when he made it in 2004 - it was my first introduction to Grime. I've remembered also that he went under the name EDMX and not Ed DMX. I have also met this guy in real life and he is a great guy
