Turned on to electro in 1983 after buying a Kraftwerk seven-inch as a stripling, Upton began transcription as DMX Krew in the mid-'90s, with his first album The Sound of the Street show in 1996 on Rephlex Records. Tracks wish "Rock to the Beat," "Displace My Body" and "Dance to the Beat" were rough just effective pastiches of supernumerary street-level electro from the glorification years, patch the high profile status of Rephlex (the label founded by Aphex Twin) guaranteed Upton a arcdegree of exposure. Rephlex's commitment to electro (as witnessed by its retrospective of electro-bass pioneers Dynamix II) resulted in respective extra DMX Krew albums, including 1997's Ffressshh! and the future year's Nu Romantix. We Are DMX followed in 1999. Upton also remixed an electro classical (Herbie Hancock's "Rockit") for Sony, recorded an EP of Kraftwerk covers and released tracks by Bass Junkie, Mandroid and Biochip C on his own tag, Breakin' Records.
