Dmx Krew

The 8-track album showcases his blend of joyous, melodic synth hooks, textured pads and analogue drum machine rhythms.

Leaving to one side pummeling sounds, the focus of this album is on sonic fun, mining the 80s pop vibe DMX Krew does so well. From the first 'A New Story', through to 'Uncertain Calculation', DMX Krew delivers densely layered and satisfying tracks, demonstrating the more imaginative side of his output. The slight outlier is 'Continuation' which offers the most forceful 303 workout, best suited to a sweaty dance floor in the early hours. Overall the feel is playful, intelligent, melodic and wonderfully fun - best exemplified by multi-synth masterpiece 'Data Cruncha' and Megadrive-esque title track 'Unlikely Seeming'. To finish the album, 'Unlikely Seeming' is given a rework by Portlandbased artist Break Mode, managing to achieve a remix that is at once ethereal and uplifting - it has 4am written all over it.
