Krust

Bristol-born b-boy Kirk Thompson, best known as DJ and producer Krust, is a pioneering figure in the drum & bass and jungle scenes. Krust has left an indelible mark on the music world. A founding member of Full Cycle, the first non-London label to truly mould and manipulate the jungle schematic, and Reprazent, one of the first D&B acts to infiltrate the popular psyche, and win critical Mercury Music Prize acclaim, Krust is celebrated for his unique musical style.

Krust's epic experimentalism is exemplified in his 1997 single "Soul In Motion" and the groundbreaking 1998 single "True Stories" for Talkin Loud. An in-demand remixer, Krust has reworked tracks for Björk, Korn, Moloko, Claude VonStroke, DJ Krush, Adam F, Shy FX, Alex Reece, DJ Ron, DJ Rap, and many more. His recent album, Edge of Everything, released in 2020 on Crosstown Rebels, received critical acclaim and was nominated for Album of the Year by the AIM Awards and DJ Mag.

Krust has channeled his creative flair and experience into supporting artists and innovators through his lifestyle consultancy, Adapt the Canvas. This consultancy helps creatives reinvent themselves through workshops and seminars focused on creative thinking, time management, overcoming personal challenges, wellness, and developing productive mindsets. Adapt the Canvas has hosted events at prestigious venues such as Soho House, Do Lectures, and The Barbican, to name a few.
