Kryptonite is the second studio album by British-based DJ and record producer DJ Fresh. The album primarily features drum and 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 9 June, which can be found on Fresh's Myspace.
All songs written and composed by Dan Stein.
Kryptonite has received generally positive reviews.
BBC commented that the album was "not as harsh as his work in Bad Company," and had the synopsis of "sticks to a tried-and-tested drum’n’bass sound, but an undeniably bouncy affair."
musicOMH rated it 4.5 out of 5 stars, and commented that "this is a high tempo stormer you should not be without."
On 28 August, the album debuted on the UK Dance Albums Chart, at a current peak of number four.
