* LIMITED EDITION FLUORESCENT GREEN VINYL STILL AVAILABLE AT PHONICA RECORDS: bit.ly/utter42phonica *
The ever-prolific Ed Upton aka DMX Krew is up next on Utter with 'Turn It On', a four-track EP of Level 42 cover versions. Yes, you read that right... as if 2020 couldn't get any stranger!
This is no exercise in irony though. This record is a true labour of love for Ed, a sincere tribute to a band he adored as a youngster. The original Level 42 tracks he has covered - 'Turn It On', 'Love Games' and '43' - all appeared on their acclaimed self-titled debut album way back in 1981, which also featured the talents of a young Wally Badarou and Atmosfear's Leroy Williams.
Ed has stayed faithful to the tracks' excellent arrangements, swapping out live instruments for drum machines and synths, vocals for vocoders.
The result is a record that retains the original material's brit-funk charm but with that unmistakable DMX Krew electro-funk and boogie flavour. It breathes new life into these classic tracks without deviating from what made them so catchy and fun in the first place. We hope they put a smile on your face too.
Limited to 100 copies on fluorescent green vinyl (exclusive to Bandcamp / Phonica).
Remaining copies on standard black vinyl (distributed by Rubadub).
Dedicated to Rowland 'Boon' Gould (1955-2019).
