Konrad Black has been involved in DJing, producing and performing music for the past ten years. A constant throughout his career is the signature mix of dirty bass threads with atmospheric sounds, emerging from his roots in drum’n’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 Greyscale 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, 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 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 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 the club hit Medusa Smile, both top ranked in playlists of opinion leaders like Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin, Steve Bug, Loco Dice and Tiga.

Along for the ride are the BLK|MARKET Membership residents, Taimur+Fahad. The boys have had a massive year, bringing in the best of the best to play their ever growing party. Their mission from the get go has been, ‘to bring in talent that inspires us as DJ’s.’ That simple policy has guided them and it’s no wonder why their party is amongst the best in the U.S at the moment. Be it opening / closing their events, playing back2back sets with their guests or just laying it down at the afterhours, Taimur+Fahad have had the opportunity to be heard and have earned the respect of many who regard them as some of New York City’s finest DJ’s in the techno scene.
