Kromestar (real name Ricky Kalsi) is a dubstep record producer from South London. He is also known for using his other alias 'IronSoul',[1] which he used when he started creating underground grime tracks.[2] Kromestar is considered to be one of the original dubstep producers and is well respected in the dubstep scene.[3][4] Kromestar is most-known for his first album, My Sound[5] which gave him the popularity in the dubstep scene.[6] He later released his second album 2011 Colourful Vibrations. In December 2013 he released an album, called Tears of Joy, inspired by the death of his son, with proceeds going to charity.[7] He ran a label with Jay 5ive called Bass 'N' Love. His sound can vary from extremely heavy, mechanised-like to uber chilled and tight, and is known for his precise production. He has also had releases on Mala's label Deep Medi Musik.[8]
