Untitled

Kryptonite is the second album from British-based drum & bass producer DJ Fresh. The album primarily features drum & bass tracks, featuring drum and bass group Sigma and vocalists Stamina MC, Koko, Valkyrie and Ce'cile. The album has been pushed back various times, each time with a new track or an old track removed. Tracks removed from Kryptonite are "Spaceface", a drum and bass tune removed due to Fresh losing parts of the song itself, Fresh has confirmed that he doesn't know "what's going on" with "Lazer Squad", "Off World" was put onto a 12" with "Direct Order" by The Funktion, "Cylon" became the flip to Lassitude, and "X-Project" (VIP mix) has been removed for an unknown reason. There was a mispress of the Talkbox promo vinyl which had "Acid Rain" on the flipside rather than the intended song, "Fight". Due to the public reception to the preference over Acid Rain than to Fight, it (Acid Rain) was made the official flipside rather than Fight.

A minimix was released on the 9th of June, which can be found on Fresh's MySpace.[1]
