MC Conrad – 'Con*Natural' LP

Finally, the album is out, and the productions MC Conrad was involved with before his untimely passing can be played loud and proud. As I’ve worked on the artwork throughout the year, it has taken me to so many places emotionally. From the early days growing up in Oxfordshire listening to LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad on early bootleg tapes to the unforgettable days at Good Looking Records, where Conrad was always warm and welcoming, through to more recent times helping Conrad with his label Resonance, finally arriving at this moment in time. A celebration of the unique talent that will always be MC Conrad. Rest well, legend.

'Experience the ground-breaking artistry of MC Conrad with the release of ‘Con-Natural’, an album of exclusive works. Celebrating his legacy as a pioneer in drum and bass music, this collection brings together some of the finest producers and vocalists, and never before heard material. From his soulful lyricism, to his captivating delivery, MC Conrad’s influence runs deep in the genre, and this album honours his unique contribution to electronic music.

Join us on a journey through sound, as we pay homage to a true legend.'

All sales proceeds from this album go directly to Conrad's family and the MC Conrad Foundation.
