Soundcrash Presents Roni Size & LTJ Bukem

Two absolute legends in the game, LTJ Bukem and Roni Size, join forces for a double headline show of mind-blowing drum ‘n’ bass as part of their UK Tour.

Emerging as a DJ in the late 80s, LTJ Bukem discovered his passion for drum and bass when exploring the realms of jazz fusion. So it’s natural that when Bukem’s career as a DJ progressed in the early 90‘s and he found himself delving in to the studio, it was these frantic breakbeats in tandem with the melodic, yet almost awry bass lines of jazz instrumentation that informed Bukem’s creations, developing a progressive and textured sound equal parts anthemic and tranquil. The album was titled ‘Logical Progression’ and marked Bukem as an innovator, a tag that stuck through his work on his own esteemed Good Looking Records imprint, and still stands strong today as Bukem continues to DJ extensively across the globe.

Bristol native Roni Size is one of the U.K. DnB & jungle scene’s most respected names, with production credits spanning dozens of labels, projects, and releases. Although not as quick to rise to acclaim (either critical or popular) as peers such as Goldie or LTJ Bukem, Size’s influence as a producer, label owner, and committed underground magnate figured him as one of the emerging sound’s true pioneers. The breakout success of his debut album New Forms (including Britain’s prestigious Mercury Award) finally confirmed his stature and vaulted him to stand shoulder to shoulder with the very best in drum ’n’ bass.

For this tour the two artists combine for a DJ masterclass with the inimitable Dynamite MC, taking the crowd on a sonic journey through their encyclopaedic knowledge of the sound they have been instrumental in shaping since its origins. Expect new music, exclusive re-edits and pure dnb bangers. Final tickets are on sale now.
