During the late '80s and early '90s, Konders issued a series of productions on the Nu Groove label . At the height of house music's flirtation with mainstream appeal, Konders and his Massive Sounds crew landed on Polygram for a self-titled album.
In the early '90s, Konders and partner Jabba formed Massive B Sound System, which has served as both a production outlet and as a formidable radio presence, bringing reggae of the dancehall variety to the listeners of New York's Hot 97.1 FM.
