Colourful Vibrations. In December 2013, the album
Tears of Joy - inspired by the death of his son - was released, with proceeds going to charity.
[Tears of Joy Stoneyroads Kromestar Tears of Joy] 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, Om Unit's Cosmic Bridge, V.I.V.E.K.'s SYSTEM MUSIC and many other prominent labels in the scene.
