DJ Krust | Galaxy 101 FM, Bristol | 18 January 1996
Kirk George Thompson known as DJ Krust was brought up on a council estate called Knowle West, in the city of Bristol. Krust earned respect through countless releases on V.Recordings (the classic track Warhead for example), and with friends Roni Size & DJ Die made the label the phenomenon it is today.
While Krust was signed to V.Recordings, he and Roni Size set up their own imprint called Full Cycle Records, which became one of the leading Drum and Bass record labels. Near the end of the nineties, Roni Size formed a collective called Reprazent, which Krust and other Full Cycle members were a part of.
Through the 2000s, Krust continued to make well received tracks such as a remix of the Roni Size song Snapshot (renamed Snapped It), Kloaking King, Follow Da Vision, and many others. In 2006, Krust relocated to London and took time off from producing.
In 2008, the Full Cycle camp decided that they wanted to go their separate ways, so the label was shut down. But in 2010, Krust started producing again, and teamed up with friend Nick Toots, to create a band called the “The Rules”, and his own imprint called Rebel Instinct.

With mounting debts, in December 1990, FTP Radio Bristol was bought up by the Chiltern Radio Group who re-launched it as Galaxy Radio 97.2 the following month. Later the Group won the regional franchise for South Wales and The West and re-launched the station as Galaxy 101 in 1994. The 97.2 transmitter is retained, and offers better reception in the city than 101FM. The station has changed hands on several occasions as a result of mergers and takeovers, and for a time broadcast as Vibe 101 and, now, Kiss 101. The Galaxy brand can still be heard across many regions of England.
