Source-derived summary

Krush were a UK dance music group, who had a crossover hit single with "House Arrest" in 1987.

Career

The group consisted of musicians Mark Gamble, Cassius Campbell and record producers Mark Brydon and Robert Gordon. Ruth Joy was the featured vocalist.

"House Arrest", a sample-based dance track, was a No. 3 hit on the UK Singles Chart in December 1987 into January 1988. Alongside similar releases by artists such as Bomb the Bass and S'Express, "House Arrest" is considered a pioneering example of British house music. It has since been licensed to numerous compilation albums.

Their second single "Walking on Sunshine" was a club hit in 1992, and peaked at No. 71 on the UK Singles Chart. Brydon went on to have continued success with a variety of other projects within house/dance music.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as british electronic music act. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1790275. VIAF identifies the subject as 141507706. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987, 1988 and 1992.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
