Rest in power MC Conrad who sadly passed away today. This is an iconic mix, his art lives on

R.I.P MC Conrad 😢. Absolutely gutted. True legend and nice guy.🙏

It's 2019 and this music still sounds light years ahead of what we hear today.

No other essential mix gave me goose bumps as much as this one. Still to this day as fresh as it was back then. Bukem and Conrad really were the best DJ/MC act in Jungle/Drum n Bass. No act will top them. So sad to hear about Conrad's death - gutted and devastated. He was the same age as me. I always wished Bukem and Conrad would do it again, at least one more time. Thanks for the memories Conrad, you really were the best.

Always recorded the essential mixes, late 90s early 00s, still have most of the cassettes today, only a handful will always stand out for me, this was one that i played so much, and im a house and techno head mainly, i had some people in my car one time, out for a smoke etc, next day couldn't find this tape, asked the boys if they knew where it went, nothing. Gutted! I'd lost it. totally pissed that it was gone, wasnt until a bit of time passed, was out in the car of one of the lads who was with me that night and noticed my cassette was in his glove box, i was fucking screwing, said to him thats my tape, he swore blind it wasn't, i lost my rag, got out the car with my tape and told him to go fuck himself, didnt see him again, got this mix back, happy man again! dont mess with a man and his music! This is up there as one of the best mixes, absolute class. Legend of a DJ/producer and legendary MC RIP Conrad 👊

One of my favourite greatest 90s Essential Mixes ever the legendary LTJ Bukem feat M C Konrad drum n bass on a karma level yes 28 yrs on even in 2024 Timeless masterpiece

Listening to this, as I remember my very recently departed best friend Misha Volkov. He was the first person to introduce me to LTJ Bukem way back in 2006. We spent the waking mornin after a sesh/gig mashed. Like 6 o clock he wips this mix out and makes us sit there and listen to it, without talking shit....Just listen. It was the best way I could imagine being introduced to it as he was so deep into it already so he could break it down for us and be like...WHAT THE FUCK this is a game changer for us. The complexity of the beats, the variety in underlying tones. The amazing McConrad vocals, all while coming down and slowly feeling a bit crap...this brought the vibe right back to the top. LTJ is to this day is prob my fav DnB Dj (for good reason, he is the godfather of Liquid DnB afterall). Fuckin Class, R.I.P Buddy. This ones for you mate. See ya on the other side to do this all again some day I hope xox

Nice to hear Pete pronounced Bukem correctly in this one 😁

I'll never forget Pete calling him LTJ 'Buck-ham' first time around...

I recorded one of the greatest 90s Essential mixes ever from 1996 Ltj Bukem feat Mc Conrad logical Progression brilliant chill out drum n bass Ltj Bukem is a legend of Drum n bass he took it to chill out direction even in 2023 this legendary mix brings you back down chills you out

One thing i'll never forget for the rest of my life: dancing to Bukem and Conrad at Dreamscape.

I remember leaving a club night to go home early so i could record this set back in the day, and to this day, this is still one of my all time fav mixes

Probably the greatest ever essential mix.

I love this mix, especially the first track. It set the tone of the mix perfectly.

Absolutely peerless mix, LTJ is a sublime DJ Producer, somehow channels the music like no other. Saw him 5 times last year. His seat at Outerner almost finished me. No boy test 😎

Musique du passé…du présent …et surtout DU FUTUR , elle évolue tout en gardant sa base 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏼👏🏻🔊🥁🥁🥁📡💥💨💎🌬️🚀💊

I've had this on cassette for 25 years and boy am I glad to find this upload. There's never a bad time to play this absolute classic mix. And what's great is I never had the end of the set because the tape ran out! What a treat the end now is!

Had an experience like no other to this video a couple of months ago. There I was sitting in class, about 8:30 in the morning and I had stayed up all night, only even awake off of the buzz of a mug of coffee and the sheer discomfort of the position I was in. I wasn't able to nap mid-class but I was completely exhausted, no way I could work on school work, so I took to youtube with my headphones in to find some music to listen to. I ended up stumbling upon this video, knowing I'd be in for a treat with a mix by LTJ Bukem I hadn't heard before, but what I wasn't expecting was to be completely entranced by the driving footage in the video. As the tracks in the mix flowed into each other, and afternoon turned to night in the video I had completely zoned out of the class and I was in this dreamlike state with my eyes still open, it was like I was actually there exploring the outside world driving on this road that's unfamiliar yet not too different from roads I've driven on all the time. I always knew I enjoyed driving around listening to music, but this video made me realize that there truly is something special to it. Later that day, even though I had only caught a few minutes of shut-eye throughout the school day, I decided to take a drive around my town and to some areas I don't normally drive through, and I put on an Intelligent D&B Mix made by Blu Mar Ten with a similar vibe to that of this Essential mix. I also put the heat on to keep warm as it was winter at this point. That experience driving around with the music in the warmth wasn't all too different from what I felt watching this video in class.

This hands down is one of Bukem's best sets. He sure knew what time it was in this mix.

I been djíng since 97, and i still havent heard a dj with so crazy skills as LTJ. i have never heard him to be untight EEEVER!!! and its hard with so many atmopheres as its so obvious if he slows or push a record to beatt match... he´s insanely talented!!! i have about 40-50 vinnyls from good looking/looking good/360/cookin`/logical progression /progression sessions!

Touching on some of the previous comments. LTJ’s mixing is next level his pitch control & the way he heats up the crossfader. By far my favourite ever set by a Jungle/ DNB artists. Would have loved to have been in the studio hearing this live. Mc Conrad is another conversation!! A combination light years ahead of the game. @mcmanaki

this is was my first drum and base music I have bought on CD in 2002! It was then listened t0 many times everywhere I travel - to the sea, in my car, at home ! Also was another great mix on that CD - 2stepmix by LTJ bukem!! Thanks!

A moment in history. Sheer magic.

MC Conrad added so much to this it's like leading you into parts where you really start feeling it, like during Hypersleep which is a great track but these vocals really elevate it

RIP MC CONRAD Thanks for making my MIND HYPE!

This was when life was CRUSHING man god if we could only go back. We never need to progress past this point.

The greatest set I ever heard. Still transforms my surroundings and inner being after 24 years.

Goose bumps from the first to the last tune😍

Still listening in 2021

Oh god, i looked for this set long time,i have it on cassete...it was always special to me...Ltj and Conrad was perfect here and music...everything👌❤️🙂 Thank you for upload!

So once again we return in 2022👌♥️

You're listening to LTJ bu-km tonight at BBC Radio One.

I love the come down drive to one of the underrated greatest 90s Drum n bass ambient chill out mixes ever by the legendary LTJ Bukem feat M C Konrad on Radio one Essential Mixes ever courtesy of Pete Tong

IMO, one of the best mixes ever. Possibly THE best. MC Conrad's rapping over Universal's "Groove Therapy" is amazing, true MCing harking back to the MCs of the Bronx in the early days of Hip Hop. But seriously, this whole mix is hands down one of the greatest things ever made. Love from the U.S!

The accompanying video to this just made my day. I miss my beloved city and country so very much, and this made my heart smile. Thank you so much.

Yes my friend even in 2024 LTJ Bukem feat the brilliant MC Conrad coming back in 1996 on Radio one Pete Tongs Essential Mix and like many back in the day recording or listening to many mixes, I think alot fans have already agreed this one of the greatest 90s Essential Mixes ever

One of the underrated greatest 1990s Essential mixes ever Drum n bass jazz smoove groove by the legendary Ltj Bukem feat Mc Conrad

I just found. Feeling beyond to heaven, so good. Thanks for this. I'll spend my whole sunday listening, pure nostalgia.

Close to my personal all-time favorite session of LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad - their live Show in the T-Mobile Electronic Beats Stage in 2002 - still around on KZfaq (approx, half an hour) - make sure to check it out too!!!

3:34 that’s the wrong way mate

This mix got rinsed as a youth!! A soundtrack of my past 😊❤ (Edit) Also it was on my birthday 👍😉

Sound of my youth... Still gives me chills...

I love that moment at 10:44 when the car is passing under the bridge and at the very same moment you hear the seagull sample. :) Beautiful mix, much love to Bukem & Conrad.

RIP Conrad - One of the originals ✊

Long live the king. LTJ Bukem.

Voici ce que tout être humain devrait écouter !!!!! J'écoute principalement du rap boom bap ou actuel de la trap gros kiffeur de saveur... De JAy dee punk barbarians, Word renown, à az, blablastard, mobb deep blackmoon en passant par lord finess, young thug, bones thug harmonie, screed connexion, fabe, bo profet, la cliqua, menelique, rainmen, alpha wann, guizmo, bref je kiff la trap, tout ce qui donne de l'émotion mais je suis tombé sur les mix de LTJ BUKEM et MC CONRAD, HIGH CONTRAST, DJ ZINK, ET AUSSI DES SON DE 2STEP A LA BASE.DJ LUCK ARTEFULL DODGER. MAIS LA JUNGLE quant j'avais 18 ans . C'était en 2005. Je me souviens de ces mix essential 1XTRA !!!!! Malheureusement beaucoup de playlist et de souvenirs de son perdu...... Sur lecteur MP3. Disque dur Hs. Bref souvenirs de ces joints qui m'assomait mais ils étaient bon pas coupé et on les enchaîner on était comme snoop sècher par la fume mais tellement bien !!!!!!! On se me mettait très bien a cette époque des bon 20 qui était de la taille d un malabar . Souvenirs de cette insouciance de jeunesse !!!! Pas de loyer. Toujours fonsdée. Après à la MJC battle de breakdance. On louait les cassettes à vidéo futur. BREAKIN'' AVEC OZONE ET TURBO. PAs de dents cassée. Les copines de l époque. Ça fesait des soirées baba cool avec ses playlist AUSSI BIE RAP QUE 2STEP QUE JUNGLE ON FESAIT NOS BOILERS ROOM. !!!!!! Y'avais pas encore tout plein de connerie sur KZfaq. Et tout ces artistes qui servent à rien. Maintenant je suis papa et quand je réécoute ces sont ces essentiellement dans les transports en communs mais je préfère en voiture comme ce clip ou en vacances sur les plages avec un gros soleil. Et avec les gosses. Je veux leur transmettre les souvenirs magnifiques vécu de mon enfance !!!!!!! GROSSE FORCE A MNDSGN, ANDERSON PAAK, JAMIROQUAI ET TOUT CE QUI INSPIRE ET PROLIFÈRE DES ÉNERGIES MUSICALES DEPUIS DES LUSTRE !!! EROL GARNER

The development arc of that period from the Amen-led jungle of the Kenny Ken era, into fully-fledged drum and bass, was fascinating to be around. The jazzy scene ran right alongside the darker Metalheadz-style vibe but they both had mad respect for each other. It was such a free and easy time. You could check out Doc Scott on the Friday and Roni Size on the Saturday and probably see some of the same faces.

I was 20 when I used to listen to this and was obsessed with the mix at 22:01 It was driving me crazy what that tune coming in was.. few weeks later it was released seba&Lotek So Long. When I got that tune I recreated that mix almost everytime and I'd turn around to my mates thinking how great I was...they prob thought what a dick cause everyone had been listening to it for weeks lol... i have both these tunes...fuck, nearly all, packed away in my garage. I bet my grandson will enjoy them when im in the ground. first we go this way then we go that way

1st time hearing this , it’s immense.

Back again!!! This mix is timeless! Hope you’re doing well Driving Music! A lot has changed in just 2 short years

Oh my fucking god this is still timeless. Driving music indeed. Let the subs rumble.

And yes, I love LTJ too! Fantastic artist and this mix is amazing!

Yoooo big ups from 410/ 443 WEST SIDE ROLL UP

Brilliant timeless chill out DNB mix

LTJ Bukem is as legend!

Thank you very much for this!!!!!!!!

I’m new to this guy, but I’m learning about more than I thought I might. Anyone care to divulge some technical information about what I’m hearing? The mixes are more than seamless, the MCs effects are integrated with the music etc. Live in the 90s... I’m having a hard time imagining how this kind of complexity is even possible.

Yet another lit set from the legendary Bukem!❤️❤️❤️

amazing mix - up to this day unsurpassed

so dope, Baltimore!

amazing mix

And MC Conrad over tychonic cycle!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

There’s lots of good essential mixes but this is the daddy. The sequence of Intense Only You/Subject 13 Faith/ DJ Crystal Mindgames that starts at about 01:11:00 must be one of the finest in dance music history 😍

Cuts out at the best bit

night ride & jungle, a total ace

I remember recording this it was my favourite

great mix

Saw these two perform live in Portland and in Japan

Magic ❤

Wicked mate 👍

Great mix but it's a shame about the multiple cut-outs. There's one around the 49:40 mark and then again at 1:17:30

MUTED 46 TO 1 07 MIN IN . IVE PLAYED THE HELL OUT OF THIS MIX FOR YEARS AMAZING STUFF TOP 5 ESSENTAIL MIXES OFF ALL TIME FOR ME. ! I GOT DETENTION IN FRENCH CLASS FOR LISTENING TO IT WHICH I CLEARLY JIBBED OFF AND GOT THE BUS HOME LOL

27.00 that's what you call a tune🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

3:30 Driver was already so lost in the tunes they turned right into a one-way street.

what does it say about how massive a mix this is, that we are still going back to it in 2021?

BIG UP DJ SHARKEY DJ PATMAN AND ALL THE FLE X FM CREW XXPHINN

Does the sound go out for anyone else around minute 52?

42:50- IN MY OPINION, this segment represents the moment President Eisenhower was STOPPED from invading AREA 51. In MY opinion.🛸🛸🛸

something about this music paired with urban landscapes is so aesthetically pleasing. I think the various repeating elements of the highway are reminiscent of the music, and vice versa. is the car in your vids a porsche?

R. I. P Mc Conrad 😢

Back in 96

watched the whole thing

I knew the highway looked familiar. Someone lives in the dmv.

3:33 they turned the wrong way down a one way lmao

So Long...what a great track. Pity the audio fell away there. Great mix though!

Always a journey

1:42:00 Axis "High Point". What a tune!

2023 !!!

Landmark music

Ya check check one 2! Thank you!

theres a huge gap in this set from 50 mins in to 1.07 like they toke 2 tracks out or somthing so its incomplete i have a version where theres an issue at the start in the first hour aswell

3:30 :)

Are the caps in this mix ment to be there or is it just me

Maryland Represent

Drivin through the streets of Tdot 🤣🤣 random CN Tower reppin ✌️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
