They then went into recording their own music on the legendary Suburban-Base record label releasing THE RUSH under the name "KROMOZONE".
Their next release was under the name TIMEBASE & KROMOZONE and was the highly collectable FIREBALL & UNITY the latter which was sampled by DJ LUCK & MC NEAT on the garage anthem "A LITTLE BIT OF LUCK".
After this came the rave anthems "THIS SOUND IS FOR THE UNDERGROUND" & MANIC STAMPEDE. By this time they were doing dj/mc sets up and down the country and abroad and also doing lots of remix work.
Their fourth release was one of the biggest tunes of 1993 THE SLAMMER.
Krome & Time then set up their own label "TEARIN VINYL" which they released two of the biggest Jungle tunes of 1994 "THE LICIENCE" & "GANJA MAN".
KROME AND TIME are still doing dj/mc sets up and down the uk & abroad.

DJ Krome & Mr Time Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For so long, so long
I've been off that track
There's a mystery in that and it's strong
Once more I'm asking for your time
A few between the two then I'm gone
Don't think I'll be coming back
I'm not coming back
Aren't where we're supposed to be
We're lost somewhere on the seventh sea
I found Time, yes, I thought I did
You slipped away, yeah, you slipped my grip
So this day that I stood my ground
Yeah, wait for Old Man Time
Once again, the day's flown by
On a journey roads get hot, so hot
I'm walking around unclothed, I'm heated to the bone
I'm bare boned, bare boned
I'm thrown, dethroned again
I missed the man by a minute again
But next time gonna have my shot
You gonna see me with Time
It seems me, you and me
Where we're supposed to be
We're lost somewhere on a seventh sea
I found Time, yes, I thought I did
You slipped away, yeah, you slipped my grip
So this day that I stood my ground
You saw me lost but forget it I'm found
Right here at the Black Rock, lay your cards down
Wait for Old Man Time
Oh, I tracked you down Old Man
When I walk at night I see you and I follow you Old Man
But the Black Rock is never too far away
I'm dying just to hear what you say
So next time that I come round
Gonna see me with Time
It seems me, you and me
Where we're supposed to be
We're lost somewhere on a seventh sea
I found Time, yes, I thought I did
You slipped away, yeah, you slipped my grip
So this day that I stood my ground
You saw me lost but forget it I'm found
Right here at the Black Rock, lay your cards down
Old Man Time
You're not too far for me
I've waited my whole life
For just a minute to see
The lyrics of DJ Krome & Mr Time’s song Ganja Man express a feeling of being lost and searching for something or someone, though it’s not entirely clear what or who that is. The opening line “Oh, I have been falling again for so long, so long” sets a melancholic tone, suggesting that the singer has been struggling with something for a while. The line “Once more I’m asking for your time, a few between the two then I’m gone” could be interpreted as a plea for help or guidance.
The theme of time is central to the song, as suggested by the artists’ monikers. They seem to be searching for Old Man Time, who is a figure of wisdom and guidance. The line “I found Time, yes, I thought I did, you slipped away, yeah, you slipped my grip” suggests a frustration at not being able to hold onto the wisdom and guidance that Old Man Time represents.
The lyrics are also sprinkled with references to the sea, which can be interpreted as a symbol of life’s journey and the many paths that one can take. The line “We’re lost somewhere on the seventh sea” suggests a feeling of being adrift and uncertain of one’s place in the world. Ultimately, the song is a plea for guidance and a yearning to find one’s way.

Oh, I have been falling again
I have relapsed and returned to my former habits
For so long, so long
It has been an extended period since I was last sober
I've been off that track
I have strayed from the path to recovery
There's a mystery in that and it's strong
The allure of my addiction is both enigmatic and powerful
Once more I'm asking for your time
I am seeking your attention once again
A few between the two then I'm gone
I only need a brief interaction before leaving
Don't think I'll be coming back
I do not plan on returning for further help or attention
I'm not coming back
I am definitively refusing any further assistance or support
It seems me, you and me
We, as a group, are all struggling with addiction
Aren't where we're supposed to be
We are not fulfilling our potential due to addiction
We're lost somewhere on the seventh sea
Our addictions have left us feeling adrift and aimless
I found Time, yes, I thought I did
I believed that time alone would help me overcome my addiction
You slipped away, yeah, you slipped my grip
But time proved to be an elusive solution to my addiction
So this day that I stood my ground
Despite my setbacks, I am trying to persevere
Yeah, wait for Old Man Time
I am relying on the passage of time to heal me
Once again, the day's flown by
Another day has passed too quickly
On a journey roads get hot, so hot
The path to recovery can be challenging and intense
I'm walking around unclothed, I'm heated to the bone
I am vulnerable and exposed in my pursuit of recovery
I'm bare boned, bare boned
I am stripped down to the essentials in my recovery
I'm thrown, dethroned again
I am struggling with my addiction once more
I missed the man by a minute again
I narrowly missed an opportunity to overcome my addiction
But next time gonna have my shot
I am determined to make the most of my next chance at recovery
You gonna see me with Time
I will prove that I can overcome my addiction with time
You saw me lost but forget it I'm found
Although I may have temporarily faltered, I have regained my footing
Right here at the Black Rock, lay your cards down
I am ready to face my addiction head-on and deal with it directly
Old Man Time
I am relying on the passage of time to heal me
You're not too far for me
I am confident that I can overcome my addiction with time
I've waited my whole life
I have struggled with my addiction for a long time
For just a minute to see
I only need a brief moment of relief from my addiction
