Huge fan of kromestar here, probably my favorite dubstep producer of all time.
At first I downloaded a bunch of of his vinyl releases and some are very good. Then I got his "Colourful Vibrations" album and realized how much higher quality a lot of it is, production wise. I also got "My Sound" a while later and was equally as impressed.
Rather than me getting stoned and searching through his dubplates and liking every single one, buying, then realizing they're not all that great. Can someone suggest me some of his really good stuff? Stuff like on those two albums, A lot of his very recent stuff I find a bit noisy and his other stuff that sounds like badklaat/requake, which is all good, but not really what I'm looking for.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

I was laughing at the fact that he said he downloaded his vinyl releases. He might have just been talking about his releases in general but since Kromestar has had quite a few vinyl only releases it sounded to me like he was talking about pirating vinyl rips.

I don't collect vinyl nor do I know very much about it, but when I buy a wav and the cover art is of a vinyl disc I'd assume that means it was a vinyl release at one point?
Makes me laugh how ruthless you guys can be sometimes
I've heard most of what you guys have posted. Any places where I can listen to stuff besides youtube? most of it is of awful bitrate and can make really good tunes sound really shit

as long as it's over 160kbps you won't hear a difference since your pc's sound chain has probably some cheap components to it. This usually drags the sound harder than just bitrate. Also, your ears aren't as good as you probably think they are.
So yeah, youtube is just fine.

you'd have a harder time finding bad kromestar, there is no such thing as bad kromestar.

I went through the time to post those sets so you could listen, find something you like, and investigate further and hopefully purchase a high quality version of the song. None of that music is in such bad quality that you wouldn't be able to tell if you like the tune or not. If you've really heard most of the 4+ hours of Kromestar tunes I posted I don't know why you made this thread...
As if that wasn't enough I'll leave you a few of my favorite Kromestar tunes that might not have been in those sets:

kromestar is a badman. im a big fan. he has good presence behind the decks too. he owns them. gets me stoked.
kromestar's dubby bits are absolutely perfect. i put all his dubby ones (at the time of this mix) into this mix. since then, he's released more good stuff, but ive had my head back in DnB lately. dnb is too good right now.
@dubaholic
didn't mean the stuff you posted, meant that towards a lot of the youtube links. listening through the getdarker set. thanks for the tracklist too, usually it's ridiculous finding track names.
don't get me wrong, I like all of his stuff, I just wish he had more tunes like Space Chase or Budwise, and every time I go searching I run into too much stuff sounding like attenshun or 10-30
