LOCUS Podcast #2 - Makoto

A month on from Conrad's passing I was reminiscing to the second Bukem and Conrad Essential mix and thought I'd upload. Equally brilliant and revolutionary as their first Essential mix, this one built on the impeccable selection of 1995 with another slew of dubplates highlighting incredible tunes that would come out of Good Looking and a few other select labels over the coming years. The tunes ranged from intricate ambient workouts like Jonny L Tychonic Cycle to deep amen batterers like Universal's Live Session (which was a little different and better on dubplate). Some took a little longer such as the lost G-Force Proximity tune that didn't surface till only recently. It's no exaggeration to say all the tunes on this mix were peak golden age, particularly Crystl Mindgames and Intense Only You...

Again, Conrad absolutely rules this mix from start to finish with total confidence and deep soulful lyrics - beautiful stuff from the leading master of ceremonies. A perfect mix for a summer's day. 

'The music's gonna pick you up and take you for a stroll....New found mystics they unfold, we bring you stories that have never been told...'
So long and rest easy Conrad 🙌🙏

For everything else drop me a line, hope your feeling the music! Blame

Blame is one of the most creative producers on the drum & bass scene, an accolade hard won over years of consistently breaking musical boundaries in an attempt to bring true innovation to the music that he loves.

It all began when Blame started to create tracks that would be synonymous with the early hardcore scene. Music Takes You, a project for the Moving Shadow label, saw him break into the UK charts and become number one in the dance chart; many books charting the early days of dance music have since credited this tune as a seminal moment in what was to soon become drum & bass.

After experiencing such early chart success, Blame decided to focus on his musical direction, and received critical acclaim for tunes such as Planet Neptune, also released on Moving Shadow. Soon after Blame joined LTJ Bukem’s Good Looking Records, and it was here that he began to try out more new sounds, quickly becoming one of the labels most important artists. Blame also mixed the second in the famous Logical Progression compilation series. He not only made waves with innovative, space-age tunes such as Visions Of Mars and Alpha:7, but he also became one of Good Looking’s best DJs, touring the world with LTJ Bukem.

The next step was for Blame to set up his own label, 720 Degrees and since then has used the label as a platform for ground breaking drum & bass, including Two Revolutions, a compilation album that showcased the labels increasingly dancefloor-oriented sound. It was a direction in which Blame’s own music was heading.

Blame’s continually prolific recording schedule has lead to successful releases on Hospital Records, Metalheadz and Charge Recordings, alongside which Blame also launched a brand new project simply named Blame Music, focussing on a cinematic, experimental and almost film soundtrack style sound. The first release Hiro caused a massive stir throughout the drum & bass club scene.

Fast forwarding to 2008, Blame released Stay Forever, a beautiful blend of energetic breakbeats and soaring string sections that instantly caught the attention of Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe, Pete Tong, Trevor Nelson, Colin Murray, Fabio, Rob Da Bank, Ras Kwame and Annie Mac. The Stay Forever vocal mix featuring Selah went straight onto the BBC 1Xtra daytime A playlist with massive support from Mistajam.

The start to 2009 was incredible. Blame & Selah's follow up Because Of You became Zane Lowe's Hottest Record In The World and Sara Cox's Single Of The Week. It was also daytime playlisted on BBC Radio 1 and 1 Xtra, receiving huge dj support from across the board.

More recently Blame released his album entitled "The Music" and has delivered some legendary remixes, adding his unique touch to crossover chart hits including: David Guetta & Kelly Rowland’s UK no.1 When Love Takes Over; the top three charting Show Me Love from Steve Angello & Laidback Luke feat. Robin S; Example’s first UK hit Watch The Sun Come Up and Alesha Dixon’s pop smash Let’s Get Excited. Blame also remixed Getting Over You by David Guetta, Chris Willis, Fergie and LMFAO. 

Blame's recent remixes include Raze's house classic "Break 4 Love", Stooshe's "Betty Woz Gone", Sway's "Level Up" and Skepta's "Make Peace Not War" and is currently working on some very exciting new projects.
