LTJ Bukem Peshay | en

In the mid eighties, at the age of seventeen, Bukem discovered the joys of clubbing. The teenager regularly checked out the local soul clubs and legendary rare groove all dayers. During this time he also ran a jazz funk band. DJing however, was his main thing and by 1987 he gained something of a reputation for his sets. In 1990, LTJ Bukem got his first big break - at 'Raindance'. Booked to play in front of a crowd of 10,000... Bukem then ventured into the studio to record a track which was to become one of the most influential records...

Peshay real name Paul Pesce began djing in 1987. His first break came in '92 at a rave called Genisis and around the same time he also got into production. Within the year he met Goldie, who showed great interest in Peshay's production skills, that resulted in a release on Reinforced: "The Protégé E.P" named by Goldie himself. This was followed by "World of Music" on J.Majik's Infra-Red label and then a collaboration with LTJ Bukem entitled "19.5" on Good Looking Records and the ground breaking "Vocal Tune" and "Piano Tune" also released on Good Looking Records. Then came "Psychosis"...
