LTJ Bukem is the
stage name used by the
drum and bass musician, producer and
DJ Danny Williamson (born
1967,
London). He and his record label
Good Looking Records are most associated with the jazzy, atmospheric side of drum and bass music.
Williamson was raised in
Watford,
England. He was trained as a classical pianist and discovered
jazz fusion in his teenage years, having a jazz funk band at one stage. However by the late
1980s he decided to become a
DJ, and gained fame in the
rave scene of the early
1990s.

He then dipped in visibility as a producer, with his work running legendary
London club night
Speed and his
record label Good Looking Records coming to the fore. A series of compilations entitled
Logical Progression highlighted a
jazz and
ambient influenced side of drum and bass. The style became widely known as
intelligent drum and bass, although Bukem himself was opposed to the moniker, unhappy with the implication that other styles of jungle were not intelligent.
