As a child, Bukem was introduced to the world of jazz fusion and in the mid eighties, at the age of seventeen, Bukem discovered the joys of clubbing.

 LTJ Bukem - Biography - AOL Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Allied with the early-'90s rave and hardcore scene, Bukem began working on production near the end of the 1980s; though his light, airy sound made little sense to his contemporaries, Bukem's style was emulated much more as the jungle scene gained momentum during the mid-'90s.
Bukem soon grew frustrated with a lack of control for his own recordings, however, and in 1991 decided to form his own label, Good Looking Records.
Bukem did contribute several productions (and mixed tracks for the second disc of the set), but the album definitely portrayed an artist committed to the jungle community more than his own career.

 LTJ Bukem : Journey Inwards - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
As any listener who's heard a single from any label headed by Bukem will probably be able to guess, his focus here is not quite standard drum'n'bass, but a set of earthy breaks inspired by the smoother end of '70s jazz and fusion.
Compared to the other jungle pioneers who've recorded expansive double-disc albums (4 Hero, Roni Size, Goldie), Bukem's is most similar in concept and sound to 4 Hero's Two Pages, an organic LP with midtempo breakbeats and earthy workouts for instrumentalists (not programmers).
From the shimmering waves of Rhodes keyboards and the undeniably upright bass on the title-track opener (which might be a bit too expansive in its own right), Bukem moves into true drum'n'bass with a sleek, excellent two-stepper called "Watercolours" which features a downplayed, honking sax.

 Harmony Central®: Album Review: LTJ Bukem featuring MC Conrad and DRS - Progression Session 5   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Whatever they say about drum 'n' bass being over, LTJ Bukem is having none of it.
Bukem avoids the temptation of Pro Tools and other computer gadgetry in producing his celebrated mix albums, instead making dub plates and mixing them live before overlaying freestyling vocals (provided by his long-time MCs Conrad and DRS).
From its gentle textural synth opening and solid choice of tracks from label bedfellows including Big Bud, Pariah, Intersperse, MC Conrad, and Bukem himself, to its intricate rhythms, organic growth, and tantalizing build-up, Progression Session 5 is an album of inspired confidence and futuristic drum 'n' bass ingenuity.

LTJ Bukem (Daniel Williamson), is a drum and bass (genre of techno music) DJ.
I have heard LTJ Bukem at the Montreux Jazz Festival Japan and was very pleased to hear him perform live.
His melodic techno music has complex textures that makes the music as enjoyable as baroque music (in my opinion) and has high repeat-listening value, something of a rarity for techno music since most music of this type tends to be disposable in nature.
