The Pad presents: LTJ Bukem

We couldn't celebrate our 35th anniversary, without considering a return of the one and only LTJ Bukem. His set for us 2023 was almost hypnotic, with the crowd moving in unison, as one, appreciating a D&B pioneer in his element. 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. “Few drum & bass DJs have attained the cult status LTJ Bukem has reached. His productions have proved to be truly timeless and it’s a testament to his tireless workrate and talent that he’s 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
