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 🙌🙏

MC CONRAD TRIBUTE MIX

Represent Radio MC Conrad Tribute hosted by Squake 5-3-24

For our 4th episode of Proudly Made by Locals, we're thrilled to present a truly special set delivered by none other than our own talented Vygo, under his drum and bass alias, Alter Vygo. This proper atmospheric drum and bass set was crafted in the memory of the great MC Conrad, who passed away a year ago and left a void in the music world.

Alter Vygo selected tracks between 1994 to 2014, probably the golden era of drum and bass, an era that marked the legendary collaboration between Conrad and LTJ Bukem, a duo whose sound inspired and defined a whole generation, including Vygo. 

Though widely recognized within our community for his smooth house and techno performances, and as a cherished member of the Proudly Made by Us crew, many may not know that Vygo has a side-journey in the drum and bass scene that started back in 2005, when he made his debut at the local dnb events under the "Experiment" brand. In the past few years, at these events he had the pleasure of sharing the stage with names like Makoto, Seba, Paul SG, MC Lowqui, and MC Conrad on two unforgettable occasions. These moments forged a real connection with him and they were actually planning a tour in a few venues in Romania and Hungary presenting Conrad's live project with Ekto1, Adam F and Kirsty Hawkshaw, with the local Konya in the team also, right before he passed away.

Inspired by their timeless mixes and profound messages, Alter Vygo, delivered a story, a tribute to an icon who shaped the genre alongside Bukem. Tune in to this special episode and let him take you on a journey through sound that not only remembers but celebrates the legacy of MC Conrad.

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
