In the mid eighties, at the age of seventeen, Bukem discovered the joys of clubbing. The teenager regularly checked out the local soul clubs and legendary rare groove all dayers. During this time he also ran a jazz funk band. DJing however, was his main thing and by 1987 he gained something of a reputation for his sets. In 1990, LTJ Bukem got his first big break - at ‘Raindance’. Booked to play in front of a crowd of 10,000…

Bukem then ventured into the studio to record a track which was to become one of the most influential records of the era. This 12” titled ‘Logical Progression’ surfaced on the newly formed Vinyl Mania imprint. At once anthemic and relaxing it offered the first true blueprint to Bukem’s sonic vision. By the time of his follow up to ‘Logical Progression’ Bukem had set up his own imprint, ‘Good Looking Records’ and its debut offering came in the shape of ‘Demon’s Theme’. Bukem’s next release was ‘Apollo’ in ‘92, however his biggest breakthrough came with his next release ‘Music’ in 1993. In 1994 Bukem unleashed ‘19.5’ and the similarly epic ‘Horizons’. There were remixes, which included reworks of Jodeci’s ‘Feenin’ and Michelle Gayle’s ‘Sweetness’ and a collaboration with David Arnold on the infamous James Bond theme to ‘Thunderball’

The start of the 21st century saw the release of his long awaited solo album ‘Journey Inwards’; a diverse and multi directional album of drum ‘n’ bass, soul, downbeat and house tracks.

Not a huge fan of the whole Electronic "dance" shit (I know you wouldn't technically put LTJ in that category, but I hope you know what I mean). But Journey Inwards is fucking amazing!

Atlantis one of the coolest tracks ever. Too bad this old school type of dNb's was so short lived

I remember hearing Horizons on Swedish dance FM radio in the mid-90's and it blew my mind, and it's still a really awesome track. It's truly the apex of drum'n'bass.
