LTJ Bukem - Intelligent Jungle (1996)

[@ronultra]

I love how a whole new generation is finding and appreciating this music

[@MPC2500XL]

In 2022 people rn dancing to music I already heard alot of times I'm just here cuz the real music settles here for another traveler to come by.

[@bluejackmedia]

Seriously. I was in Amsterdam recently, and persuaded the DJ to play old-school DnB - the 20-somethings all loved it! Made me happy to be alive :)

[@lunarcdr3083]

Ye, interesting

[@gravityhammer25]

I really be tearing up the streets while listening to this kind of Jungle music quite possibly the best driving/racing music EVER. It's exciting and calming at the same time, perfect balance.

[@ethanransom6444]

I really be out there on the motor bike doing the same

[@RatsAndFunTV]

yes a good music when you have to drive all night long.

[@yggdrasil9039]

[@gravityhammer25]

@Mr Chillwave It's all good, I know how to have fun and be safe at the same time. Never doing anything too risky... i'm never actually racing anybody just spirited drives on rather empty roads that I am very familiar with.

[@melancholicdrive7209]

this music is so perfect , you can just chill while having it as background or dance really hard to it.

[@spiritualopportunism4585]

I think it's more introspective music than background. I tried background but it was just so damn hypnotizing I had to stop what I was doing and listen and concentrate hard.

[@DJ_TideWave]

1996 was a great year. Oh man I miss those days. What a great decade the 90s was for electronic music and especially drum & bass.

[@Dewsta26]

Ikr 🖤👍 and yet the normies all say that 90s was crap for music.... No mate, you just weren't part of it. Rave for Life

[@kylezehtabi5452]

1996 really was a golden year... Not enough people remember that

1996 was good all around 😩

[@amr1t_]

wasn't alive at the time so I can't speak about it as though I was there, but the music (especially dnb) certainly was great

[@tellthemermaid]

What Miles Davis is to Jazz, LTJ Bukem is to Jungle.

[@midovaloryn]

You said it, Mango La Croix

[@MPC2500XL]

Real bro

[@bluejackmedia]

Believe

[@success9271]

LTJ Bukem was my gateway drug into Jungle. I don't how it happened, but I stumbled upon his Essential Mix with Pete Tong right here on KZbin about a decade ago. I fell in love with the sound instantly, and still, all these years later I never tire of it.

[@mrbiggielarge]

Nah that's Oliver Lomax. Artemis/Shogun. Bukem is close second

[@bluejackmedia]

Bukem is a hero of mine. I heard him tear up raves in the UK from the early 90s, then he basically created his own sub-genre of music, still going strong today. I guess unsurprisingly, this sort of set is where he tends to sound more comfortable, however - I just bought tickets to go see him at Fabric in Feb '23. He's on the bill with some very contemporary acts (Grey Code anyone?) as well as US house legend Juan Atkins. Should be fascinating! And at 46, I don't know how much longer I'll be going out to experience this music live. Long live Drum & Bass; keep this music alive, spread the word. Peace x

[@jamesmorrison-knight3477]

I'm also gonna see him in a couple of months. Though I listened to some of his recent mixes and he seems to play mostly liquid DnB, which is nice and all, but imo doesn't nearly compare to ambient/intelligent jungle. Any why he pivoted away from jungle?

[@bluejackmedia]

@@jamesmorrison-knight3477 yeah fair - be interesting to see what he plays in London, with one of the best soundsystems at his disposal. GQ is the MC, so you'd hope it'd be quite hard. I've always admired LTJ's musical opinion in general, even his old house sets and more mellow stuff on GL was incredible imo. Grey Code is also playing 'new style DnB' - I've looked him up, sounds shit. Might be in the UKG room for that set :)

[@bluejackmedia]

And to answer your question, I'd argue he always had a much broader tatse than just jungle. He almost became a deep house DJ, in the very late 80s, and although Logical Progression was released in 95, most of the tunes he'd written years before. Not many people who can rightly claim they invented a whole sub-genre of music. I coiuld go on. I won't :)

[@mirai5850]

I bought tickets to see him recently as well in Chicago, I discovered him a few years ago when I heard about the song Twilight Voyage from one of my friends. Been a fan ever since.

[@bluejackmedia]

Nice. My friend Erick (RIP) was a huge DnB fan in LA back in ‘99. Love it when you guys embrace it. Bukem has just announced his US tour, so you might be able to see him soon. Check his insta. I’m seeing him again in London on the 28th. Can’t wait. One day I’ll go see him in the US too, just to check the vibe :)

[@kamtheo9774]

I have to thank my Dad for playing Jungle and D&B my whole life. When I hear this I’m just swamped in nostalgia of London as a child and remember all the different places my took us around London in the 90’s it’s the small things like this that sit with us as we get older

[@weirdomachine]

14:24 you know its a heady jungle mix when they start pullin out them donkey kong country synths

[@tenkoh6245]

such true facts

[@MPC2500XL]

I was born in 2009 and listening to this makes me feel like I was born in 1995 the best year of music.

[@P1nacl33]

i was born 2008 i feel the same way

[@daphunkyzzindahouse]

Whenever I listen to oldschool dnb and jungle, I can taste the sound. I feel really taken away from my room to the 90s era and living it, like a time capsule sort of

[@MPC2500XL]

Yea man the music tastes like the candy from the corner store and smells like a fire place

[@parasiteunit]

As someone who used to make music with nothing but a sampler... The programming in this is epic. Those subtle little tweaks and fills with a loop took hours. Can do the same with audacity or a wave editing program in around 20 mins now. This took patience and you had to really UNDERSTAND the system you were using.
