When is Bukem coming back?

Hangin to catch the don in action summer time styles again

current rank on "thedjlist": 1417

he was only here a few months back wasnt he?

Bukem & Conrad were awesome as always @ Future music this year!!

yeah future music festival but they need to come back!

Jeez do know how long it took before they even came to Adelaide? I think the first time was about 5-6  years ago. Before that we had been waiting a good ten years for them to come.

Considering they've been coming here basically every year for the last ten I think its safe to say they'll be back soon enough.

Why the urgency to see them all of a sudden?

just wanted to know if they have been booked to tour this year is all

If anyone knows the dates they will. Infact if you are so keen book a show!

and they were goooooooooooood!!!!!!!

bukem rocks, love his style

my fav of all dnb djs/producers, ive got all his progression sessions, as well as some of his other stuff like 'the blue notes of drum n bass'

Saw them both three weeks ago. I liked it.



 

And we'll see em again for christmas 

dates are in the process of being sorted

nice 

nice one mr doe!

i must confess that in my 8 or so years of venturing out to dnb i have never seen bukem!

 

What he said... seriously. Imo of course, many people go on and on about all these guys who have been involved in the scene for the last decade being THE pioneers of Drum and Bass. Well most of them ain't shit compared to Bukem. Fucking Legend and a master behind the decks.

does anyone remember seeing him smoking that massive spliff before his set at black cat a couple years or so ago 

haha what a legend

bukem is the daddy. pure class and probably the cleanest mixer ive seen. make sure you catch him next time.

 What Khem said.

 Just when the Good Looking style was getting a s bit stale BAM he reinvents himself.That set in Feb 2005 at Blackcat blew me away (again)

 

yeah will do chaps...he just never really appealed to me for a while...will be keen to check him next time he is here..

still a must see everytime he comes for me!


his last effort at future music festival my oh my


he even had the house crowd loving it!

conrad cops a flaming in the review of intalex's fabric live mix

got a link?

i didnt even think conrad was on the cd??

nah he's not, the reviewer makes reference to how he thought klute is like earlier bukem was good before conrad came along, not in those words obviously... in the new 24/7

fairy muff

ummm has he listened to any of the progression sessions, i mean seriously how can he say conrad doesnt compliment the music????


IMO klute and bukum arnt even in the same league.

was it the same guy who did the mampi article?

Who the fuck would bag Conrad?

And Klute is good but no comparison whatsoever to early Bukem. I mean, Music is the tune that practically created drum&bass. It showed that the music had a life after jungle - that it was more than a fly-by-night rave genre. Klute has never come close to doing what Bukem did for the music in the early to mid 90's.

Amen

I wasn't into the sounds back then, but falling in love with the music by a mate lending me a few of the first Progression Sessions albums I couldn't agree more with that statement. But (for me) a small amount of the music coming out today has gone well past what Bukem did back then, in terms of pushing the sound further.

WTF?

Dude, drum&bass almost didnt have a sound at all until Music came out. This is the tune that made DJs like Fabio, Grooverider, Top Buzz etc realise just what this style of music was actually capable of. That this style of music could be so much more than something played to ravers. Nothing coming out today has had even close to the impact this tune had.

 

does anyone even remember what bukem was like before conrad came along?

i know conrad was his mc the first time i saw him 15 years ago and he's still his mc now!

i will say though there's been two sets i've witnessed that have completely blown me away and both have been bukem... once at obsession in 92 to about 20,000 people and again in 2005 to about 100 people in some dive in bristol. i expect he'll get me all over again in another decade or so!

TBH dont think ive heard any sets of his pre progression sessions?

first time i ever heard anything from was clash of the titans @ st pauls. 2002?

First time i caught Bukem was the opening night of 'Rush'... cant remember the year.. maybe 2001?

the good man himself just replied to my myspace message saying they'll be back in march 08

aahh yeah

I have a CD set at home called 'Fantazia Jungle Collection' from 1994

One mixed by 'Rider, one by DJ Rap and one by 'Bukem.

The Bukem set is one of the best studio mixed CDs in existence.

I will rip and upload for the people out there who have not experienced such wonderful music

I used to have that cd set. God knows what happened to it.

It's on it's way Tonez 

nice one mate 

As promised

Ive seen the duo a few times and must say that their furture music set was awesome, didnt much like their 2005 Blackcat set tho. Was a bit messy. In fact was speaking with the man after the set and he aswell mentioned that the vibe wasnt there. Maybe its was the few spliffs that conrad was roaching back and on stage. Got me pretty stoned just being back there 

I hAvent seen these guys for ages. My last time was upstairs at St pauls in 2002 maybe? and the sound was crisp as a bell. i remember shouting Conrad this massive nugget of skunk and him rolling a joint on stage and lighting it up. Sensational night. It's almost like i don't want to ruin that mental image i have and be disappointed if i see them again. I also have a great memory of Conrad smoking weed with everyone at a Klute show at the Sceptre in 05 maybe? The night before they played here? Memory is heaps hazy of that one but Weed and Drum and Bass is the shit.

 The time they played after Richie Hawtin it was absolutely off the hook.

 

Gold Medal Hall Of Fame Post Number One

loads of bukem mixes here

cheers khem!

locked & loaded - even better it's the same as my 32nd birthtday
 

that was so funny, he was so stoned he couldnt move and just sat on the edge of the stage bent as a chimp as klute smacked it down!

I went to that show, all I remember was a whole heap of us crew sitting outside out the front off the street against the fence eyes rolling back

PLUUUUUURRR

 :lol:

Way to dig through the archives!

Khem's been on a massive thread resurrection rampage lately

but when is bukem coming back, its been long long long...

hopefully he is a last minute guy in bali.. that would be dope..

Found this and scanned it in for old times sake..

Too bad it was the shit Fierce.

Edit: Woah, just looked that guy up...did he die on that tour?


Edit 2: Probably not, I just saw the date on the flyer...

yep im pretty sure he O.D'd in a Spa bath...

im pretty sure he drowned on the gold coast

Yep.. Patchys right!

Johnny Newell, aka RR Fierce, who tragically drowned in the Pacific Ocean while on tour in Australia in December 2001,

this is true

and he was not the sh*t fierce, rockin ronnie fierce was a legend of the hard house scene

unfortunately the 'hard house legend' tag is probably why he was dubbed the rubbish fierce by the dnb heads here on AM, who would much prefer dj fierce (who is here soon)

http://www.adelaidemassive.com/index.php?topic=6034.0

Fucking awesome DJ.

Hard house would have stayed a much better genre if he hadn't died.

karim's not dead and he couldn't save it

only dead broke 

Tony de Vit too.

looks like we may not need to wait too long until our next 'good looking' fix. i see makoto is coming to HQ. fingers crossed it aint in soho.
