(1972-2024)
Absolutely devastated to hear the news today that Conrad Thompson (aka MC Conrad) has passed.
For me, Conrad was one of a kind when it came to MCs in the drum and bass scene. His unmatched talent and lyrical style helped peak my interest in D&B and the Good Looking Organisation itself.
My all time favourite tune is Planetary Funk Alert by Seba (followed closely by Makoto's Golden Girl). Sebas' masterpiece (Planetary Funk Alert) on its own is amazing but with Conrads vocals added, it was really something else and still gives me a buzz today.
Another pioneer of the scene gone far too soon. He will be missed greatly and always remembered as a true legend to me and I am sure, many others.
Thompson died on 30 April 2024, aged 52.
"As we move on as we progress. To increase the pleasure, ease the stress. Check the fatness and the freshness. Vibe is live direct and express. Sounds so deep I must confess. Sound of past, present and future and what you hear is not a test. Ooh yes!!."
Massive respect and peace.
MC Conrad
