Krust

Bristol-born b-boy Kirk Thompson is best known as DJ and producer Krust. With an indelible legacy as a key figurehead in the Bristol sound, he has never compromised since emerging in 1989 as a member of Fresh 4 (achieving a Top 10 chart hit on Top of The Pops). A founding member of Full Cycle, the first non-London label to truly mould and manipulate the jungle schematic; and Reprazents, one of the first D&B acts to infiltrate the popular psyche and win critical Mercury Music Prize acclaim.

He is regarded as one of drum & bass and jungle's founders and pioneers noted for his unique musical style.  Krust's epic experimentalism can be heard in his 1997 single ‘Soul In Motion’, and similarly ground-breaking ‘98 single ‘True Stories’ for Talkin Loud.

An in-demand remixer, Krust has reworked tracks for Bjork, Korn, Moloko, Claude VonStroke, DJ Krush, Adam F, Shy FX, Alex Reece, DJ Ron, DJ Rap and many more.

His recent album entitled Edge of Everything was released in 2020 on Crosstown Rebels and received critical acclaim. It was nominated for analbum of the year with AIM Award and DjMag.

In addition to making music, Krust has amalgamated his creative flair and experience to support artists and innovators through his lifestyle coaching consultancy - Adapt the Canvas.
