===2000–08: Full Cycle, Kamanchi, Hidden Knowledge===
Thompson continued to release music on Full Cycle and V during his time on Talkin' Loud and [[Def Jam Recordings|Def Jam]] (who released Talkin' Loud in North America). Prominent releases during the early 2000s were new versions of "Warhead"; the Steppa Pt 2 remix and "Warhead 2000" (released on Planet V – ''The Remixes''),<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/Various-Planet-V-The-Remixes-Part-Two/master/277521|title=Krust - Planet V (The Remixes - Part Two)|publisher=discogs|access-date=30 August 2018}}</ref> a remix of Roni Size's "Snapshot" and the angular, paranoid "Kloakin' Device" which led to a follow-up "Kloakin King" and its b-side "Don't Front" in 2002.

In contrast to the "Kloakin" series, Thompson and DJ Die continued to work together on their [[funk]]ier, more [[Soul music|soulful]] Kamanchi project.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/602401-Kamanchi|title=Kamanchi|publisher=discogs|access-date=30 August 2018}}</ref> Following the release of "Stay" in 1999 on V Recordings' ''Planet V'' and numerous dubplates such as "[[Warrior]] Ship" and "Right Now Doing Our Thing", Kamanchi released their only album ''I Kamanchi'' in 2003. The album featured live instrumentation and had a heavy vocal presence from singers Tali, Leanne and Keirin Kirby (under the name Violet) and rappers [[Rodney P]], Darrison and Retna. It was described by Dutch dance website Party Scene as one "that underlines that the future of drum 'n' bass lies in the vocals and warmth and not so much in sinister baldness"<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.partyscene.nl/music/77969/krust-die-kamanchi-full-cycle|title=Krust & Die - I Kamanchi (Full Cycle) |work=Partyscene|access-date=30 August 2018|language=nl}}</ref> while US site [[XLR8R]] wrote how the album "valiantly finds a balance between the crossover cut and the dancefloor filler."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.xlr8r.com/reviews/i-kamanchi|title=Krust & Die I Kamanchi|work=XLR8R|access-date=30 August 2018}}</ref>

Following Kamanchi, Krust and Die collaborated under their solo names with ''Collision Course'' in 2004. Other collaborations during this time included one with DJ Zinc on Bingo Beats ("Again"  / "New Territory", 2005) and Clipz ("Brainwash" and "Robots Rebellion", 2005) while solo singles such as "Follow Da Vision / Paper Monster" and "Malice / Manipulation" led towards his second solo album ''Hidden Knowledge.''

Released in 2006, the album was described by UK music site The Skinny as capturing "every element that Krust has explored throughout his illustrious production career."<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.theskinny.co.uk/clubs/reviews/krust-hidden-knowledge|title=Krust - Hidden Knowledge {{!}} The Skinny|access-date=30 August 2018}}</ref> Krust has stated in interviews how the album was written during a time of studying [[philosophy]] and [[religion]] and how tracks such as "Belief System", "Choose [[Consciousness]]" and "Human [[Awareness]]" were titled to encourage researching their topics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rockthedub.com/2006/07/rock-dub-interview-dj-krust.html|title=[rock the dub Interview]: DJ Krust|website=rockthedub.com|access-date=30 August 2018}}</ref>

It included a bonus CD with a selection of some of Krust's previous successful tracks such as "Guess", "Soul in Motion", "Jazz Note" and "Last Day". Singles that came off the album included the ''Hidden [[Knowledge]]'' EP, which featured a DJ Zinc remix of past hit "Follow Da Vision" and an instrumental version of "New Humans" and a 12 inch of "[[Belief]] [[System]]" / "Mystery School". These were Krust's last official single releases of the 2000s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/24422-Krust?page=3|title=Krust|publisher=discogs|access-date=30 August 2018}}</ref> His last release during this era was a retrospective Full Cycle double mix CD ''Journey thru the Cycle'' in 2007. Full Cycle ceased business in 2008. Both Krust and Roni have stated in interviews how the label had run its course for that period and how they needed to take time away from music to focus on their families and future.<ref name=":8">{{Cite news|url=https://ukf.com/words/full-cycle-next-chapter/15520|title=Full Cycle: The Next Chapter...|date=4 March 2016|work=UKF|access-date=30 August 2018}}</ref>
