LTJ Bukem at The Edge - 1994 

SO much love for this in the comments. I'm a 47yr old dad, started raving in 93. Great times. Still go out now and again, it's easy in London so I'm lucky. Actually met Bukem at Fabric a few months back. Told him I first saw him in 93, he laughed and asked where (Camden Palace now Koko). He was about to go on at 3am, so I thanked him for everything he'd done to this point and he replied, "No, thank you, and everyone who supports this music" Then he played for 2 hours instead of 1 and tore the roof off with GQ. What a geezer. One of the best nights of my life.

These tapes are absolute treasures. They don’t release music like this anymore! So thankful I was alive during this movement and was able to experience it.

Spectacular!! Time Machine !

Something for your mind your body and your soul 😊

Back when there were interesting breaks - great for your ears and even better for your soul and dancing feet.

1993 - my favourite year for jungle/hardcore. 1992 was the last big hardcore 'rave' year in my opinion and 1994 was the year jungle really blew up and reached the mainstream. But '93 was the magical year when the main music press such as 'Mixmag' and 'DJ' etc were all saying 'hardcore is dead' etc (bollox!) and the music went further underground than it had been in the previous couple of years free to do its own thing. It seems that the producers really started pushing the boundaries this year with so many different styles, such as darkside, jungle, ambient/intelligent, jungle tekno, ragga (continuing what had started in '92 as the BPMs had started creeping up rapidly and the big split between (happy) hardcore and jungle had yet to take place really.) The sound was still quite raw and not as overproduced as what came later from '94 onwards as technology increased and became too polished IMO. So I repeat, for these reasons, 1993 will always be my best hardcore year and produced some of my favourite tunes of all time. Big up to all involved, from the promotors/raves,/clubs to the pirate radio stations in London - Pulse,, Kool, Weekend Rush, Rude, Green Apple etc and the DJs, MCs and producers. And of course to some of my favourite labels - Reinforced, Moving Shadow, Basement, Face, Lucky Spin, Deejay, Formation, Production House, Kemet, White House, Good Looking, Creative Wax, Liquid Wax, Suburban Base, Ibiza, Boogie Beat, Labello Blanco, Underdog etc, etc. Music I will love forever and I will keep my records from this period until the day I die.

BY FAR THE MOST IMPACTFULL MIX OF ALLLLLLLLLL TIME

So grateful for folks who upload their old tapes. Gutted I binned all mine! Massive error. Thanks for the shares and for the loud rips ;-) x

not many souls realise how much their ears can be serenaded by this absolute epic achivement of sound making you feel good simple and plain no bulshit just straight atmospheric euphoria

Daniel Williamson...... So far ahead of the curve he can barely see it.... I love any form or sub-genre of rave/breakbeat/hardcore/jungle/DnB.... But Bukem is, and always will be my producer/DJ of choice...

Still till this day since the mid 90's, I get people into Jungle in NYC. Jungle is my favorite genre, and it's still rich to me in this day and age.

15:50 - what a fucking tune that was! I remember this on so many of Bukem's (and other DJs) live recordings from the 92-95 era. What a time! I was 12-15 years old!

LTJ👑 TheInfiniteGOAT💯

Hey man, I'm a younger dj starting out on vinyl, and it's people like you who put these tapes on here that got me into this genre, and I can't thank you enough for that. You're doing the lords work here, thanks for the amazing tapes! It's mixes like these that make me wish i was around in 93 and able to hear this live.

Got lost listening to this, nice atmospheric mix, with plenty of choppy drums! Only wish i could have been there at the time but i was only 11!

This mix is absolute 🔥

This got me. Hats off in 2021, and I just missed this in 94 entering the scene in Fall of ‘94 at the Bassrush party

Bukem always delivers, intelligent dnb / jungle at its best... Keep vinyl alive

Perfection as always. Head and shoulders above any other DJ at that time. Respect 👊🏽

Bukem, again one of the best live mixers ever!! Hope I got some right!

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYES, 13 MINUTES FROM LEICESTER DOING 140MPH AND WE STOPPED AT MAC D'S, back in the day, can still remember floating 3 foot above the ground for 4 hours into the long dark tunnel while shocking out on the top floor

Got to be the finest DJ there is. He knows how to drop a mustard set for the connoisseurs of music. Don't do the white glove gang commercial rave shit. It's all about the underground Darkside jungle. Can't fault his talent.👌

Bukem and Dj Crystal were way ahead of their time.

Classy operator, Bukem Junglist!

Justice's Soothe My Soul just kills it every time

Search his Yaman tapes folks. Was light years ahead in 91/92.

Awesome! I Love Old School Mixtapes!

Thanks for these uploads mate, these mixes are historical

End of 93 -94 Danny changed the game Good mix....(Why wouldn't it be ??) Thanks for sharing

I used to frequent Buzz and The Edge back in the day! Thanks for all the uploads ♡

Track A3 is "Submania - We Come To Tell You" which is a Blinder off of the 6 Track EP on pro one records PRONE16T

Few tracks not even mixed in, just dropped at the right time, yet this mix still gets so much love. Proof it's all about the selections. Technical skills come second

What a fantastic mix this is. I love his later jazzy sets, but this one is of a differenct character-a nice blend of the sounds of the time and what was to come.

The Bukem The bad bwoy. Different genre of dnb ,tht's wht makes it so Sooouuunnnddd...

Remember the original black tape with the chequered edge logo loved those tapes big up for upload

Saw Bukem @ the Bank , NYC , 93-94 ? Thanks for the upload 🙏🙌🙌

Pięknie dają po garach miód

Old Skool Mixtapes is the best! Serious Dnb business here:):)

fat breaks, floating synths, deep bass, warm drums. I think a lot changed since people moved to fully digital processes, and things don't sound this good since at least the early 2000s.

Mmmm, Bukem, Bad Bwoy ... Love it mix, mash Whasssup x

I had the original Edge pack that this set came from, something like 6 or 8 cassettes, this was always my fav although I am sure there was a Ratty set in there that was pretty amazing too!

I like how this tape is a love song.

I got bag full of them prirateradio stations london was doing it x .. 1994 to 1997 haha

I accidentally forwarded the video to minute 45:35. Just by listening to the song of that minute I already know that it will be a masterpiece

like this one!

БОМБА!!!

sounds important for your survival.

great set

The drop on 28:08 is dark as arseholes 👹👌🏻( Ahhh Bukem’s quickly got it out, it’s too dark a fights broken out 😂)

Dope mix

My town, my time. Wouldn’t trade it!!

i love you. 🔝🔙again. thanks ♬friend.

Wish this was still played at clubs :D

OMFG, ACTUAL RAFIQ!

Top !

Has there ever been a better drum and bass dj than bukem/Randall? They're still the best now (Andy c had his moments)

If you ain't raving 'yer mis-behavin' !

Good timez

Ha; love the visual tape

5;43 that lovely drop

COVENTRY KID LOVING THIS DRUM AND BASS RIGHT IN YOUR FUCKIN FACE LOVED THE EDGE WHAT AFUCKIN CLUB

I’m searching RU-vid for a mix I had . It was Bukem and one of the songs went “ rythemn.. rythemn.. can’t find it anywhere.

Top club top night top set

13.55 - 20.01 - tear into it - parallel worlds

👌🏽✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

This is 100 percent from 1994

Tracklist? Ill start the ball rolling.. @48mins: Fantasy #3 - Deep Blue (JMJ & Richie Remix)

I miss the edge and capital ballroom and the DC family.

Great. Except allowing ads

Do you reckon the sea gulls are a live recording or just a synthesizer preset?

Soundsplash to infinity

Can anyone id ?? after Tango & Fallout? Really trippy hook.

Am I right in thinking this was the first intelligent set in Cov.

What is the name of that masterpiece that drops at 42.55?

Is there a download available?

Axe the tape

Two years later this came out. I didn't had access to jungle d&b before 95. This changed my life: www.discogs.com/TPower-The-Self-Evident-Truth-Of-An-Intuitive-Mind/master/45402

Interesting thing is that I used to love this genre a lot more than I do now and only because I learnt to play the drums. Now the rhythms seem simplistic and even down tempo I think I might try getting authentic live merengue and uptempo Afro-Cuban rhythms and mixing them up with modern electronica to see what happens

Hey guys was this the Edge in Ft Lauderdale? I think there was also one in UK?

The Edge in Florida???

31:17 😮

Any ideas at 25:00 ?? Thanks

Ja sind ja auch von mir Dicker

15:00 🤒🤒

Anyone know the track @26.43
