As a 52 year-old junglist who was young & unruly during the golden age of this music, this cuts deep. RIP MC Conrad.

Conrad was the best ever to do it. His lyrics have been part of my life soundtrack for the past 30 years. Rest in beats

I just nearly cried when I found this upload of the newly re broadcast set from 95. This guy is the don. I defy anyone under the age of 60 to listen to this and not be moved to their very core. In my opinion early drum and bass represents the very first truly British dance music, that could never have been created anywhere else in the world. Fully inclusive, this music was created by and for British urban youth and encompassed the entire range of humanity that you only find in the melting pots of UK cities, most notably London. Flawless mixing and track selection showcases a variety of British talent, only enhanced by Conrad's smooth, thoughtfully composed lyrical content. This set never ages and is the drum and bass mix against which all others are compared. Never to be surpassed, it still feels as vital and fresh as the day I first heard it over a quarter of a century ago. Big shout to all the original Junglist Massive, the message in the music is to move! Glad to be the first person to comment on this, thank you Faint.Static. "Music was the madness that was in your soul!!!"

Listened to this taped off the radio on my Walkman on a train journey from Newcastle to Nottingham in the summer of 95
I remember it was very hot that summer
I went to Radford to visit a friend of mine who was an ‘actor’
at the time.
Only small parts in Emmerdale and Eastenders were his claim to fame.
I tried to get him into this ‘new’ music but he was an old punk rocker and didn’t really like it !
I still listened to it after my trip down there all the way home on the train back to Newcastle.
And I’m listening to it again now In 2022 !
A few days before my 50th birthday 🎂
!!!
Long live this mix

Legend and nice guy 🙏

[freakunit]

Taking my old man's jag for a ride while he was out . All my mates in the back smocking squidgy black listening to this. What a time to be alive

[Bargos]

This music still sounds so fresh today.

[albert]

RIP Conrad, perfect partner to the best dnb DJ ever and also to his fellow MC DRS

[lbukem]

This is almost 30 years old and still sounds futuristic. Bukem and his fellow d&b producers were way ahead of their time.

[RolledLs]

First DJ I ever saw live - moon club Bristol, 1990 : he was just bukem then, no ltj, and no Conrad - he played before dj phantasy. Dropped strings of life and changed my life forever. Went to see him play at every opportunity from then on .. bought everything he put out on LGR. Legend

[TheMistermarcus]

Rest in power Conrad... One of the best to ever do it!! 👊🏼

[julianf]

RIP MC Conrad. An amazing talent, taken far too early.
This is an amazing and seminal mix.

[Markymarkvinylnut]

Tears in my eyes as I hear this...47 years old and I'm still totally in love with both these essential mix sets with Bukem and (sadly) the late Conrad.. PEACE

[MegaCozzy]

51 years old Avin it in me house with me grandkids

[daru]

This give me goosebumps every time. Saw them in 1998 at MS Connexion in Mannheim/Germany. Was the driver at that time and danced for five hours straight totally sober. This was a trance-like experience that I‘ll never forget.
RIP MC Conrad 🙏

[garyhall]

This mix totally changed my life....My favourite essential mix of all time...The don...

[timgrisham]

Conrad was always one of my favorite dnb MCs. I remember so many of these classic tunes with his voice. RIP

[DJLABYRINTH]

In July 1995 I travelled through UK + Scotland (Orkney Islands). I was with my ex girlfriend whom I never forgot. Best year of my life. Not talking abt this music. So many lovely memories... Pity all finished.

[djcainemerson]

No one will chop that fader like Bukem to this day 🏆
