proximitys ambience will never be matched.  heavenly

Ripley never thought she would be sampled....

Legendary first Essential Mix from LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad... Still remember waking up one sunny Sunday in June 1995 and listening to the tape I'd set the night before... Timeless magical music. 

RIP MC Conrad, in my opinion the best MC to ever grace the mic in this music - no-one matched that style and delivery 🙏❤️🙌😎

LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad Essential Mix 1995

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 🙌🙏

Blue Note Volume Nine

The Late Nights at Speed mix was put together by producer and DJ, Daniel Maunick otherwise known as Venom. With connections to labels ranging from Ibiza Records to Talkin Loud, Daniel was heavily involved in the 90s drum and bass scene producing his own music and teaching artists how to use samplers and recording equipment.

This mix is inspired by his visits to Speed at the Mars Bar, the legendary night led by LTJ Bukem and Fabio.

Been listening to, mixing and making jungle, hardcore and d&b since first hearing DJ JINX on PULSE FM playing tracks like Paradise Project, TicTacToe and Order2Move early 1992.     
Mixes are usually vinyl and turntables with a bit of DVS only where strictly necessary :)
Some recently made music now up on Bandcamp
