Krust or DJ Krust (real name Keith Thompson born 1968, Bristol, England) is an English drum and bass producer and DJ who is part of the Bristol based Reprazent collective, as well as releasing his own solo material such as "Burnin" which was released on Kickin Records.
Krust was interested in hip hop, acid house and rave music as a youth, and was a member of the group Fresh 4 which reached number 9 of the UK Singles Chart in late 1989 with "Wishing on a Star", but did not release another record.
In 1994, Krust along with Roni Size produced "Witchcraft" which is arguably the first Drumfunk track.
He is most famous in his own right for the mid 1990s release "Warhead" which was one of a handful of tunes released in early 1997 which saw drum and bass move towards a more stream-lined sound. "Warhead" has been remixed several times by both Krust and other artists. Krust is also well known for his 1996 release "Angles" on V Recordings.
Krust's first album Coded Language was released on Talkin' Loud in 1999. Krust's second album Hidden Knowledge was released on Full Cycle Records in 2006.
