Biography

He is well regarded in both dubstep and the broader UK dance scene.[2][3] Kromestar is most well known for his first album, My Sound[4] which cemented him as a seminal producer in the genre.[5] He later released his second album 2011 Colourful Vibrations. In December 2013, the album Tears of Joy - inspired by the death of his son - was released, with proceeds going to charity.[6] His style is known to vary quite dramatically, from the mechanised sound of his dubstep releases to the smoother sounds of sample-based grime, and an overall aesthetic of concise production. In addition to his own labels Bass 'N' Love and Dub Steppers Recordings, he has released on Mala's Deep Medi Musik, V.I.V.E.K.'s System Music, and many other prominent labels in the scene.[7]
