By now, Kromestar’s versatility is unquestioned. With undeniably aggressive tracks such as ‘Attenshun,‘ and a majority of the selections on his first LP ‘The Other Side,’ he is able to balance himself with releases like the more recent full-length release ‘Colourful Vibrations,’ emphasizing on the minimal half-step sounds of dubstep.
Kromestar redefines his prowess again on his latest release, a collaborative effort along veteran producer Om Unit in a two track release launching the Cosmic Bridge label. The releases tracks ‘Solar Cycle’ and ‘Merkabah’ use groove more akin to Flying Lotus or Lunice productions than what one typically expects from either of the two credited on the release.
Both tracks exhibit the slow dubbed synth sounds that typify many Kromestar productions, combined here with crushed low-bit synth sounds. Two tracks that are definitely a lot more patient and cerebral than what many have come to expect from either of these two. Not expecting either of these to ‘mash up the dance’ but definitely a solid release from two solid producers whose range make them continually difficult to define.
