KONRAD BLACK

Todd Shillington, aka Konrad Black has been involved in DJing, producing
and performing music for the past 10 years. A constant throughout his career is
the signature mix of dirty bass threads with atmospheric sounds, emerging from
his roots in Drum and Bass and Hip Hop.

After his first release on Formation Records in the UK influences such as
Maurizio and Klang inspired more minimal sounds, and in 1998, a meeting with
Swayzak in Vancouver led to ‘Greycale’ for Slow Building in 1999. From there
Konrad went on to record a number of tracks on 240 volts, including the "Nails" or
alternatively titled "Heavy Metal Withdrawal" EP as well as the "Busting Down the
Door with a Shotgun" EP.

After moving to London and working with Ed Rush and Optical's prestigious D&B
label Virus Recordings (which ironically coincided with his deter out of Drum and
Bass), Konrad recorded the track ‘White Cigarettes’ for Swayzak’s 240 Volts
Compilation released that year. Concurrently Konrad worked with March 21st of
Circlesquare on the ‘Headgear Project’, releasing ‘Believers Goodbye’. This
project culminated in collaboration with Swayzak for the track ‘In the Car Crash’
on the seminal album ‘Dirty Dancing’, released in 2002. From there he went on to
work on Circlesquare’s album ‘Pre-Earthquake Anthems’ for London based
Output Recordings. Likewise, Headgear's final joint production then was the
Unkle remix of ‘In a State’.

In 2004 Konrad then formed Wagon Repair Recordings with Mathew
Jonson, Graham Boothby and Jesse Fisk. He continued his wide panorama
of sound on his first release on the label: ‘Draconia’, which enjoyed critical
success internationally, followed by club hit 'Medusa Smile', both top ranked in
playlists of opinion leaders like Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin, Steve Bug, Loco
Dice or Tiga. This is only the beginning of things to come, as label manager, DJ,
producer and performer Konrad Black will show very soon…
