LTJ BUKEM
London / UK
++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~++
Just who is LTJ BUKEM? Ground breaking DJ? Inspirational musician? Record label entrepreneur? Club visionary, perhaps? The man who took the drum and bass concept from a small venue off London's Charing Cross Road to the nation's superclubs and then onto the international stage.The geezer whose records launched breakbeat into a brand new galaxy of sound. In truth, he is all of the above: a Renaissance man for a digital age. Although he wouldn't like to admit it, LTJ Bukem is the living embodiment of the post-acid house entrepreneurial creative spirit. He is a mild mannered energy flash whose panoramic musical vision has found success in every area he has explored. From running sound systems to cutting up breaks at raves, from relocating the heart of breakbeat culture to redefining the spirit of drum and bass, the man known to his friends as Danny has sat at the forefront of breakbeat evolution, lighting the way with little more than a zest for life and a love of the music.
Like many, Bukem's first introduction to music was initially through piano lessons as a child. This young pianist turned out to possess a natural talent and he quickly moved more deeply into music. Classical music represented the soundtrack to his home life. Both parents had a passion for Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky that rubbed off on their son. However, it was when the family moved to Watford, that Bukem at aged 10 developed his first true musical love. Thanks to a progressively minded teacherNigel Crouchhe was introduced to the world of jazz fusion, a style which has informed his work ever since. In the early eighties, (at the age of seventeen), Bukem discovered the joys of clubbing. The teenager regularly checked out the local soul venues, and legendary lengthy rare groove sessions. As a keen record buyer, he soon became interested in the idea of mixing his own version of a club soundtrack, long he became involved with any sound system. During this time, he also ran a jazz funk band for fun on the side. DJing became his main focus, and by 1987, he gained a reputation for his unique sets. It was in 1988 that Bukem first realized that DJing could offer a full-on career combining the skills and passions he loved the most.
In 1990, LTJ Bukem got his first big break at 'Raindance'. Booked to play slots between 1 & 2am in front of 10,000 people, it was the first true test of this fledgling DJ's skills. At the time it may have taken all of his mates to push him onto the stage, but it proved to be a set hed never forget. From one roller to the next, Bukem smashed the nightand a world class DJ was truly born.
Venturing into the studio, Bukem set out to record some tracks which would be produced on one of the most influential records of the era. The 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 he followed up on 'Logical Progression, Bukem had set up his own imprint. Run from a small office in Harlesden, London, the label 'goodlooking' and its debut track came in the shape of 'Demon's Theme'. Finished in mid 1990 and pressed to dub-plate, Bukem dropped it into his sets for a full year to test the reaction before he finally released the track officially in July '92. 'Demon's Theme' caught the attention of many people with its soulful combination of rushing breaks, lush ambience and mellow vibes. Bukem's next release was 'Apollo' Return to Atlantis in '92, however his biggest breakthrough came with 'Music' in 1993. In 1994, Bukem unleashed '19.5' while the release of the similarly epic 'Horizons' coincided with the opening of the legendary 'Speed' at the Mars Bar in London. The label was gaining ground with its growing catalogue of must-have tunes and popularity of Bukems performances. The launch of 'Speed' was intended to run hand in hand with the growth of goodlooking while also offering a focal point for the growing drum and bass scene. After a shaky start, which almost forced the night into closure, 'Speed' quite literally took off one night in the summer of '94.
Using media attention to highlight goodlooking Records and its label roster, the label licensed a compilation to London Records in 1995. Titled 'Logical Progression, it featured exclusive cuts from the roster alongside older tracks (and is still one of the highest selling drum & bass compilations to have been released). To grow the label, Bukem joined forces with Tony Fordham to build the business. While focused on the label, Bukem stretched out in many directions. There remixes and collaborations including critically acclaimed reworks of Jodeci's 'Feenin' and Michelle Gayle's 'Sweetness, as well as an epic project with David Arnold on the infamous James Bond theme to 'Thunderball.
Goodlooking was established as a leader in the industry. In the midst of all the activity, Bukem also released the 'Mystical Realms EP' in March '98. The EP featured 'Twilight Voyage' with sombre flute refrains, chopping keys and an outer world ambience. The vocal and instrumental versions of 'Orchestral Jam', with its urgent breaks, echo dropped sonar, and dissonant violins, along with the reflective Herbie Hancock-esque last track 'Journey Inwards; represented a deeper development of the Bukem soundfurther underlining Bukem's position as a sonic leader of post rave breakbeat culture.
Bukem continued to produce and mix some of the World's best drum & bass and cross-over music compilations that have ever been released. Titles such as 'Progression Sessions', the 'Earth' volumes and further installments of the 'Logical Progression' series have become notorious for the new and exciting directions that Bukem has always strived to take, but without losing sight of his original musical roots and all the things that inspired him in the beginning.
The start of the 21st century saw LTJ Bukem continuing on his extraordinary musical odyssey with his long awaited solo album 'Journey Inwards'; A diverse and multi directional album of drum 'n' bass, soul, downbeat and house tracks, this music was elegantly mixed to warm the soul and reach the masses. Adding to his impressive remixing portfolio was his interpretation of 'The Essence' by jazz legend Herbie Hancock. During this time, Bukem continued the 'Progression Sessions' series of live mixes captured on CD, featuring epic performances recorded live in The USA, Tokyo, London and Germany. Bukem also compiled the highly acclaimed 'Soulfood' and 'Soul Addiction' compilations, and released two 'Producer' series CDs. Later on he spearheaded a number of new releases including the much anticipated Double A sided 12" featuring 'Switch' by LTJ Bukem, and the mighty 'Drum Toolz' by MC Conrad and Furney on the flip on goodlooking. 2015 saw him remix the house anthem Yohoo by the London electronic music duo Dusky released on their own 17 Steps imprint.
Keeping a keen eye on music and business climate has directed Bukem toward new challenges. Jumping forward, Bukem has been developing his own brand, pursuing new collaborative projects, and extensive travel to share his unique sounds and visuals with new audiences. In a constant pursuit to reinvent himself and his work within the industry, Bukem is on to solo projects as a producer and continuing to bring the sounds of soulful drum and bass to heads through stunning performances worldwide.

His productions have proved to be truly timeless and its a testament to his tireless workrate and talent that hes remained relevant whilst staying true to his dedication to real music. With an unparalleled selection packed full of exclusives, his sets are a joy for heads and newcomers alike.  Soundcrash Music

DYER
Prestige Music Group / JUICE! / Oakland / PDX
++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~++
David Dyer has been well involved with Drum and Bass music for nearly 20 years! Coming up in Central Florida, Dyer became aware of the beats and breaks at a high school age, and rapidly graduated to devoted manager of The Drop Shop, Orlandos premier dance music record store (now dissolved, but forever in our hearts). It was there that David amassed an enormous record collection, and began broadcasting the Future Flavaz' DnB show with cohort LT. Smash. After years on the Bassdrive channel, the duo set out to begin throwing events in the Orlando area. After booking many influential DJs pushing the deeper styles, the progression turned their efforts towards establishing a record label project entitled the Prestige Music Group in 2007. Now with 10 years in the game as label owners, and nearly 100 tunes in the catalog, both Dyer and LT have been living on the West Coast for nearly the same duration. Dyer has been moonlighting as a DJ/Label owner, while holding down a 9-5 with The Hundreds is Huge Inc. as their E-Commerce manager. Now with a new chapter on the horizon, Dyer sets his sites on Portland Oregon as he prepares to join the family at La Mota. Of course the moonlighting will ever continue as he pushes the label project to new heights, and joins the vibrant community in the Portland area. Look for Dyer out in your scene, and say Hi when you see em!

Definition Positive
DnBradio / JUICE! / Salem / PDX
++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~++
After broad exposure to Jazz, Salsa, and R&B growing up, Donahue Holland aka Definition: Positive learned to appreciate the deeper side of some of these genres, and how it affects and drives emotion. His passion for music and mixing exploded in the Los Angeles rave scene during the mid 90s, nurturing this new love for electronic music. Once experiencing Drum and Bass, he shifted gears permanently; realizing that this style was the missing part of his musical soul.

Former resident DJ at Nova Express Cafe, Futurebound Radio, LA, and LiquidBass.net, Def Pos became an LA staple representing these unique sounds. Since relocating to Salem, guest appearances have included Bassdrive, Signal Flow Radio LA, DnBTV and countless live performances all around Oregon with some heavy-hitters such as the Bachelors of Science, Artificial Intelligence, Ben Soundscape, ASIDES, Calculon, MC Question Mark, Doc Scott, Bladerunner and Drumsound & Bassline Smith.

Host of the weekly radio show Atmospheriq Tides, Thursdays 9-10pm PST on DNBRadio, and resident artist at JUICE! Drum and Bass nights in Portland, Def Pos delivers soulful grooves and funky baselines with a level of quality and style not to be missed.
