RIP to "The Voice", MC Conrad, only 52 years passed away today. Amazing MC, his style, a one of a kind flow and cadence captured and mesmerized me from the moment when I first heard Western off the LTJ Bukem Logical Progression.
This will always be one of the songs that changed my life… when drum and bass moved your soul LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad were the heartbeat. Thank Conrad. You changed a generation with your words… 🧡😞
I remember hearing this on BBC One In The Jungle on Radio One back in the mid-90s. I nearly wore out my cassette tape, playing, stopping, rewinding and playing again as I tried to write down the lyrics of MC Conrad.
Nothing like hotboxing in a car down some random lane as a teenager while this was blaring. This is the best track to come out of that era in my opinion.
My cousins and I have been blasting this from my speakers since its inception. While we live in Central Europe and never had the chance to catch Conrad live, we always wanted to and I was thinking about it recently, checking flights and whatnot. I'm sorry we were not fast enough.
I was the New Zealand promotor for LtJ Bukem and Mc Conrad tours between 1995 through to 2017. News of Conrad passing has hit hard. So many good times, good laughs, funny stories... and we remained in contact in the years after. Too many good souls departing this mortal coil before they should.
this track was a special moment in electronica. the musical quality of a pmf track and the raw energy that conrad adds to it blend together in a unique fashion that is difficult to match and raise this track above its technical ailments
RIP MC Conrad. This tune and your MC'ing is one of my all time greats. Shivers down the spine and so many memories from the 90's. "Crucialise spaghetti!". ;)
One of the all time tunes, still as good today as it ever was! Sends shivers down my spine, this was my favourite tune for quite a while during my teens, thanks to wizbeats1 for posting. I bought Logical Progression back in '96 and although I look after my CDs obsessively I played both discs so much they no longer worked and I had to go and buy another copy of the album around 2000! Am sure there hasn't been a better DnB CD released in the subsequent 14 years.
i've been transported back in time to a moment where iwas in a state of bliss, happy, sad, morose, overjoyed, 18....19...ohhh, for the rose tint of those glasses...
[PFM & MC Conrad] 🌌 "Get in line in your mind, get ready to rip it up We gonna kick it up better be sitting up Pay attention you're next on the agenda We're gonna send ya on a brain bender Get in line, get your views in order, we gonna sorta make them run like water To co connect like oceans together We endeavour where others said never damn! Ain't that clever? 'Caus PFM is here to progress On a mission that stands way above all the rest Yes man!! Set it off with a loud bang Rock on the set with the mic in my hand With a dope dope powerful bass bass boom We got a dope like a big bass bassoon And when we bust a new style style You will go wild wild. You can reminisce... And put it into you style pile We kick it off with nuff nuff clout, PFM set it off cos I got the mouth When I rock on the set with a p for perfection The set was ours at my last recollection So we choose to cruise not get too hectic Go too slow the set might just get septic And you party people might not accept it So smooth and mellow that's how we kept it. And as we move on the scene it get respected. We got you moving with the right directive Inside your mind it gets injected We got sounds assured for those who are selective. I tell you action stations people get ready, Twist ya like spaghetti, boo ya like betty. Foundations we laid down so many, You wake from you deep sleep to feel a new penny Drop into action. You was relaxing...? Extreme !! Now you're doing the max and ooh! It's inside ya keeping you hyper Shoot you out of your cloud like a mystic sniper Now all those non-believers we'll flatten With future patterns due to split the atoms Vibes causing symphonic spasms; and baby's having secret orgasms It's a wild world that we live in You step to the vibe like a new found religion Take your position, compile your vision futurism, algorithm has risen up! As we make your mind corrupt And I can feel this mystic vibe come creeping, creeping, creeping up We bring the beats that bang and beats make your mind explode Sounds to set your mind in mode PFM gonna flick the switch and switch to overload So as we drift away, away we drift And I know now you can see clearly through the mystic.
I knew con worked around him a lot in the early days and I know Mike (pfm) we remained friends till the end this has always been one of my favourite songs hits differently now when I listen to it rest easy brother 🙏💔🙏🥲
Wow how much ahead of its time it’s 30 yrs now and I was 18 then at the time now 30 years before 94 is 64 absolute ground breaking then even more , but I do think todays youth would jump straight in with Conrad and bukem , chase and status the one today 😮
Took a day off work when this came out to learn the lyrics by spinning back on a terrible set of Gemini turntables. Still know it word for word some 15 years later.
RIP Conrad. One of if not the best MC in my opinion. His lyrical genius complements Bukems flavour perfectly. This is a timeless classic. Sorely, sorely missed, another great taken too early. 🥺
This has just made my year!!! My Bro copied this on to tape for me years ago...Going to see Bukem and Conrad end of Jan...cant wait!! This is the best dnb tracks of all time!!! =D
Such a mood to this track. Much prefer it with MC Conrad. Love that he is depicting the dancefloor scene to this genre. Heavy!!! Future rhythm, algorithm has risen up!!!! The track is hypnotic for me. Love soaking up that baseline!!!!
This brings back good memories. Used to make long distance rollerblading trips in the open fields in summer, headphones on, and this music. Those were ecstatic times ! Thanks for the music, LTJ. D&B never was any better.
totally with you. this tune and album will never fade because it is pure class. full circle will come again and proper nightlfe and proper clubs and proper dancin will rule agian while flares and scream and zanzibars will rot in the fires of pop and sixties hell!!
RIP to "The Voice", MC Conrad, only 52 years passed away today. Amazing MC, his style, a one of a kind flow and cadence captured and mesmerized me from the moment when I first heard Western off the LTJ Bukem Logical Progression.
LKJ is the man. Anyway RIP
That’s pretty sad to hear, he really elevated this mix
I can't believe the news! MC Conrad, you were the sound of drum n bass. Rest easy
Fuck what happened
Just put this on as a reminder of the old days there's no way he's gone
This will always be one of the songs that changed my life… when drum and bass moved your soul LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad were the heartbeat. Thank Conrad. You changed a generation with your words… 🧡😞
RIP Conrad, absolute class act. Western is the ultimate track and vocalist combination
I remember hearing this on BBC One In The Jungle on Radio One back in the mid-90s. I nearly wore out my cassette tape, playing, stopping, rewinding and playing again as I tried to write down the lyrics of MC Conrad.
RIP! First song I played after the news
Same mate...the greatest dnb track ever made
Was always my fav on logical progression...
Conrad's vocals are brilliant, perfectly carried by a train-like beat. Quality D+B.
10,000% brothaaaaa
👌💥💥💥💥💥
Makes my hairs stand on end still, 20+ years later!!! Choooooon
..
Excitement goosebumps! Always been my favourite dnb choon. 😍
Same
Gutted doesn’t even begin to describe it. Rest In Power “Conrad The Bad”
Nothing like hotboxing in a car down some random lane as a teenager while this was blaring. This is the best track to come out of that era in my opinion.
Blast to the past this comment - I did the same hotboxing. In first cars … those were the days … loved DnB then and still do even sober.
Arguably the BEST DnB tune of all time
I'd agree
No arguments here
I flattened the battery on the car playing this non stop near st Tropez one night , quite simply magnificent
RIP MC CONRAD.. A TRUE LEGEND
RIP MC Conrad. Massive loss for DnB and all of us who grew up on his sound.
My cousins and I have been blasting this from my speakers since its inception. While we live in Central Europe and never had the chance to catch Conrad live, we always wanted to and I was thinking about it recently, checking flights and whatnot. I'm sorry we were not fast enough.
Probably my favorite DnB track ever....Conrad definitely the sickest MC out there, kills it on this tune!!
I was the New Zealand promotor for LtJ Bukem and Mc Conrad tours between 1995 through to 2017. News of Conrad passing has hit hard. So many good times, good laughs, funny stories... and we remained in contact in the years after. Too many good souls departing this mortal coil before they should.
This is just fucking amazing. So ahead of it's time.
Rest in peace legend.... another great has joined the great gig in the sky... 😢
What happened bud
28 years old still as good as ever 🙂 @4:45
this track was a special moment in electronica. the musical quality of a pmf track and the raw energy that conrad adds to it blend together in a unique fashion that is difficult to match and raise this track above its technical ailments
Agreed 👊👌
Rest in beats Conrad.
One of the greatest songs of the 20th century
Rest in peace, love, harmony & music
RIP MC CONRAD - simply the best
Best dnb ever made sounds as fresh as the day it came out thanks pfm and mc conrad 🔥🔥🩵
RIP MC Conrad. This tune and your MC'ing is one of my all time greats. Shivers down the spine and so many memories from the 90's. "Crucialise spaghetti!". ;)
Didn't find this track till 99 still sounds beautiful in 2023
czcams.com/video/sliCIAEpKcg/video.html
Will never forget hearing Bukem and Conrad live playing this at The End - what an atmosphere...
What year?
I was there! Incredible! DJ booth in the middle of the dance floor
2003 I reckon
29 years and still immaculate
One of the all time tunes, still as good today as it ever was! Sends shivers down my spine, this was my favourite tune for quite a while during my teens, thanks to wizbeats1 for posting.

I was late didn't find this track till 2000 still feels fresh in 2022 timeless
UP
R.i.P absolutely legend ..❤
It won't be the same without him. Gone, but we'll never stop hearing him. Rest peacefully, legend. MC Conrad. 🫡
Oh my god...this song is almost 20 years old. It has aged so well, Bukem's music is truly timeless.
Fuckin 30 year old now 😳
PFM creation.
Bukem has enough gems, doesn't need credit for this 😉
I don't like seeing this comment now. Almost thirty.
@@OldDeanKenobi he needs because of mc conrad

[PFM & MC Conrad] 🌌 "Get in line in your mind, get ready to rip it up
We gonna kick it up better be sitting up
Pay attention you're next on the agenda
We're gonna send ya on a brain bender
Get in line, get your views in order, we gonna sorta make them run like water
To co connect like oceans together
We endeavour where others said never damn! Ain't that clever?
'Caus PFM is here to progress
On a mission that stands way above all the rest
Yes man!! Set it off with a loud bang
Rock on the set with the mic in my hand
With a dope dope powerful bass bass boom
We got a dope like a big bass bassoon
And when we bust a new style style
You will go wild wild. You can reminisce... And put it into you style pile
We kick it off with nuff nuff clout, PFM set it off cos I got the mouth
When I rock on the set with a p for perfection
The set was ours at my last recollection
So we choose to cruise not get too hectic
Go too slow the set might just get septic
And you party people might not accept it
So smooth and mellow that's how we kept it.
And as we move on the scene it get respected.
We got you moving with the right directive
Inside your mind it gets injected
We got sounds assured for those who are selective.
I tell you action stations people get ready,
Twist ya like spaghetti, boo ya like betty.
Foundations we laid down so many,
You wake from you deep sleep to feel a new penny
Drop into action. You was relaxing...?
Extreme !! Now you're doing the max and ooh! It's inside ya keeping you hyper
Shoot you out of your cloud like a mystic sniper
Now all those non-believers we'll flatten
With future patterns due to split the atoms
Vibes causing symphonic spasms; and baby's having secret orgasms
It's a wild world that we live in
You step to the vibe like a new found religion
Take your position, compile your vision futurism, algorithm has risen up!
As we make your mind corrupt
And I can feel this mystic vibe come creeping, creeping, creeping up
We bring the beats that bang and beats make your mind explode
Sounds to set your mind in mode
PFM gonna flick the switch and switch to overload
So as we drift away, away we drift
And I know now you can see clearly through the mystic.
So wrong bro
@@mattgeorge1499 got it from the internet 🤷♂️
After 30 years still moves me

Sorely, sorely missed, another great taken too early. 🥺
The tune that got me into DnB in '95. RiP Conrad ❤💔❤
If I've listened too this over a thousand times all my hairs are still standing up.
One of the best drum n bass tracks ever produced - Heard this at Quest night the final frontier in summer 94...Wicked tune
Sublime...........A Red Stripe and a joint in hand. Fly High brother. Peace. Clarkee
This is so good! Rest in Peace Conrad. So much talent! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

up there with the best drum & bass tracks ever, its a top-class track on its own but conrad adds something special
damn it was realised when i was only 4 years old, i cant believe how much ahead of time this music is..
Logical Progression: imo the best d+b mix to date, and it's 15 years old now. damn!
The scene have lost a legend 😔
RIP Conrad you were the best of the best
Doesn't get much better than this in the d&b world!! Respect to Bukem and Conrad!!
I'm part of it,and the Drum and Bass is part of me.Legendary and full of lirycs!!!
Pfm smashed this. What a tune ❤
Rest in peace, MC Conrad.
one of the best dnb tracks ever made conrads lyrics top of the list nuttin but a milestone of dnb
