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 🙌🙏

The Positive Vibes Show 23rd June 2025

A rare Sunday upload from me: the final part of the aquatic jungle series. Been sat on this one far too long, it was put together back in early 2023, but the weather's too good not to share it. Ambient/atmospheric jungle is the perfect summer soundtrack for me, and these watery bastards are about as close to a Bukem-style mix as I've got so far.  There's a nice variety of styles on this one ... hope you enjoy it.
