Thomas Krome?

Right, this keeps coming up (and just now in the schranz thread), and I can't remember the last update.

A couple of years ago I heard that he preferred reading books to techno and had no plans to return to releasing. There's also the apparant fallout between him and Dahlback after DK8.

So despite giving up releasing he still plays gigs sometimes? What gives? I mean Krome is one of *the* techno producers bar none. It would be a shame to think that that was it... ****, the good guys have been dropping like flies over the last few years, it ain't good.

i doubt he'll make a return also, especially in todays market where even his solid stuff would probably sell poorly, unless that is he doubled the tempo and added a sample sounding like mini mouse on helium

...or he goes mnml.

Really sad, this guy was one of my first big heroes when I started to spin the wheels.
Stuff like Bitches from hell or Woodcarvers on nightmare is still in my case :(

I agree! His tracks on Corb are awesome.

I had a talk with Joel Mull this summer about Krome. Apparently Krome has his own non-music-related personal issues which are supposedly the main culprit. Will stop there to support his privacy. I also don't know about the DK8 rumor. Krome had nothing to do with DK8 and if I remember correctly. I think the only thing he has had to do with the label after the first release was the artwork for the them.

I think if Krome did venture into mnml land ala Mad Eye or We Are styled tracks, he'd be pretty succesful. His beats have a ton of swing and dynamics to them so I think it'd be great to hear at a slower speed personally. Some new hard stuff would be great as well.

When he played at Darkside last year he said that he had been having some personal stuff going on but that he would be releasing some new music in the new year...shame it's not turned up yet though 'cos he was one of the best producers around.

To be fair he wasn't the most prolific over the last couple of years before his current sabbatical but it would be fantastic if he eventually put something new out.

i still like playing his eggplant ep on planet rhythm!

Fair enough.

Yeah, he didn't do DK8, just the artwork for it as you said, but I think that was his last involvement there.

Yeah, anything by him would be good. Maybe someone should ask him to do a 12"? Although, I'm sure we'll hear from him when he's ready...

yeah my mate got that its class - would be great to see a load of them early p.rhythms get remixed and rereleased.

Thomas Krome is great too - would be good news if he carried on releasing tracks, although you can never read enough books . . .
