- Drum’n’bass pioneer MC Conrad remains one of the most respected performers on the scene - and continues to innovate and elevate the musical genre he helped to make into a global phenomenon.Exploding out of 1980s hip-hop and electro, Conrad first embraced early 1990s rave before finding a home in the nascent drum’n’bass scene and forming a legendary partnership with DJ LTJ Bukem. Together they took the seminal sound of Good Looking Records around the globe - with Conrad’s powerful lyrics embellishing Bukem’s lush soundscapes. As well as their legendary Speed residency at the Milk Bar in London, a foundation stone of the drum’n’bass scene, together they played at pre-eminent club venues such as Ministry of Sound, Cream, Fabric, The End, Space in Ibiza, Melkweg in Amsterdam, Liquidroom in Tokyo and Zouk in Singapore, and many of the world’s most prestigious dance festivals including EDC, Roskilde, Montreux, Exit, Miami Winter Music Conference, Ultra and Coachella. Along the way they shared the stage with, among many others, Carl Cox, Snoop Dogg, Method Man and Redman, De La Soul, Goldie, Roni Size, Lauren Hill, Herbie Hancock, Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Jeff Mills and Derrick May. Unsurprisingly, Conrad also became a sought-after guest MC and vocalist, with DJs and producers such as PFM, Adam F, Blame, PHD, Total Science, Zero T, Makoto, Unglued, LSides, Urban Dawn, Furney and Paul SG utilising his lyrical agility to stunning effect. Conrad’s musical curiosity has led him to explore the house and techno scene as well, and his deep-dive 2013 DJing podcast Up on All Fours - under his producer alias Con*Natural - set a benchmark for the format. This has led to further cross-over activity including remixes, recording vocal duties and audiovisual art displays with established artists such as Kevin Saunderson, Pig&Dan, Abdul Qadim Haqq, Archie Hamilton and more. Always with an eye to the future, Conrad established the digital-first drum’n’bass record label Resonance in late 2020 to foster new talents such as Outlier, Aquariid, Cyclic and Kolda. Its success to date means that the label’s tenth release - a four-track EP - will be its first vinyl pressing. All this, in addition to MC Conrad still gracing stages around the world, means he remains a drum’n’bass force to be reckoned with.̸LTJ Bukem / MC Conrad - Promised Land Volume One 2 versions Higher Limits 1995 LTJ Bukem Featuring MC Conrad - Progression Sessions 2 versions Good Looking Records 1998 LTJ Bukem Featuring MC Conrad & DRS - Progression Sessions 3 4 versions Good Looking Records 1999 LTJ Bukem Featuring MC Conrad - Progression Sessions 4 6 versions Good Looking Records 1999 LTJ Bukem Featuring MC Conrad & DRS / Makoto - Progression Sessions 5 3 versions Good Looking Records 2000 Logical Progression Level 4 8 versions Good Looking Records 2001 LTJ Bukem Featuring MC Conrad - Progression Sessions 6 - America Live 2001 2 versions Good Looking Records 2001 Vocalist 01 4 versions Good Looking Records 2000 LTJ Bukem Featuring MC Conrad - Progression Sessions - Japan Live 2002 2 versions Good Looking Records 2002 LTJ Bukem Featuring MC Conrad - Progression Sessions 8 - UK Live 2003 3 versions Good Looking Records 2003 LTJ Bukem Featuring MC Conrad - Progression Sessions 10 - Germany Live 2004 3 versions Good Looking Records 2004 Singles & EPs MC Conrad And Makoto - Golden Girl 2 versions Good Looking Records 2004 Total Science & MC Conrad - Soul Patrol 10 versions C.I.A., C.I.A. 2006 LTJ Bukem / MC Conrad & DJ Furney* - Switch / Drum Tools (12") Good Looking Records GLR068 2008 Compilations LTJ Bukem / MC Conrad - Goodlooking Experience (4xCD, Comp + Box) Good Looking Records GLOBOX1 2005 Miscellaneous LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad - Progression Session (2xCass, Promo) Not On Label none Unknown Makoto & MC Conrad - Progression Session (2xCass, Promo)
