A brilliant four-piece outfit of producer/DJ’s hailing from Wales who create some of the most funked up fusions of early dubstep, garage and house to be heard today. With remixes under their belts for the likes of Hervé and The XX they’re already being championed by the likes of Toddla T, N-Type, Annie Mac, Kissy Sell Out and more. With Glastonbury on their gig list this year things are well on the up for C.R.S.T.
There are few producers on the drum’n’bass scene who are as respected and revered as Dillinja. With his trademark combination of dirty stomach-churning basslines and tighter than tight beats, his reputation has been secured as one of the most influential producers in drum’n’bass history, as well as one of the scene’s most called-upon remixers, having worked with everyone from David Bowie to Bjork and Basement Jaxx. A true connoisseur of sound, Dillinja’s mighty 96k Valve Sound System is recognised the world over as being second to none.

Kevin King embarked on his musical journey from a fairly young age. From the tender age of eleven, he was already b- boying: breakdancing and battling it out with the local crews in order to be eligible to receive the latest electro and pioneering hp hop mixtapes from the United States.
A few years down the line, however, Kevin became interested by the sounds of US House and the Detroit-influenced techno of Derrick May and Juan Atkins which had begun to filter its way through the U.K underground dance music scene. By the time U.K camps such as Nightmares On Wax, Renegade Soundwave and Unique 3 began to take these sounds on board, giving their own breakbeat and bass influenced offerings, Kevin was hooked, and made an almost complete switch to the house and hardcore sounds being exposed by both U.K. and U.S artist's. Like many of his cohorts, an investment in a pair of turntables in 1990 was the next step, and he was soon purchasing vinyl in vast quantities. With a friend he began Deejaying under the moniker of Le Monde - French for ' The World.'
