So, let’s talk about Conrad Subs, also known as Ad Krolik in the real world. He’s been cooking up Jungle Drum & Bass tunes for a solid two decades now. Way back, he went by a bunch of different names like ADK, Nifty, and Sulako. But after a bit of a hiatus, he bounced back into the scene in 2017 with a fresh alias: Conrad Subs. And let me tell you, he’s been making moves ever since, quickly becoming one to watch.
His early tracks dropped on labels like Soul Deep, Inna Rhythm, and DJ Hybrid’s Deep in the Jungle, showing off Conrad’s versatility. Liquid vibes, Jump Up beats, classic Jungle feels – you name it, he’s got it in his bag of tricks. And it didn’t take long for things to pick up speed.
Fast forward a bit, and Conrad’s got a whole bunch of dancefloor bangers under his belt. We’re talking about hits like ‘Revival’ on Ram Records, ‘Cool Off’ on Symmetry, and ‘Little Vibey Thing’ on Nuusic. And his Deep in the Jungle releases? Absolute fire, with tracks like ‘Come Selecta’, ‘When It’s Time’, ‘Special Request’, and ‘The Rhythm’ keeping the party going strong.
But that’s not all – Conrad’s also dropped tunes on big-name labels like Hospital, 31, Liquid V, Program, Dread, Delta9, Soulvent, Murky, and Liondub International. Oh, and did I mention he’s got his own label too? It’s called Koba Audio, and it’s making waves of its own, we’ve premiered a few tracks from the label and they’ve all been wicked!
Plus, the guy got nominated for Best Breakthrough Producer at the 2019 We Love Jungle Awards. Talk about making moves! With all this momentum behind him, Conrad Subs isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
Today he joins our Renegade Masters series, I’m sure you’ll agree that he’s paid his dues and deserves the title! The mix Conrad’s recorded for us is brand new and exclusive and features music from himself (obviously), Son, High Contrast, RMS, L-Side, Monika, Heist, DJ Hybrid, Kravitz and Dr.S.Gatchet among others!
