Konrad Black

Canadian Konrad Black, whose solo release The Scorched Earth on Broken Beat caused quite a stir in the scene, not to mention the dark tones of Draconia & Medusa Smile that enveloped dancefloors around the Globe, christening his influential Wagon Repair label in style, as well as establishing him as a highly innovative producer and much sought after remixer (just check out his work for Tiga, Snax, Audion and Martini Brös if further proof is required). Part of the first wave of North American producers to infiltrate Berlin’s modern techno movement, Konrad Black's shadowy production style and charismatic live persona has since had dance-floors basking in the long shadows cast by his presence on the scene. His signature sound is a masterwork of harmonious contradictions, pairing apocalyptic basslines and moody synth progressions with a cinematic temperament that finds its most compelling moments within the spaces between the notes.
