Though he hardly developed the style, and his later reliance on engineers like Rob Playford and Optical to capture his sound puts into question his true musical importance, Goldie became one of the offset personalities in British dance euphony, his gold teeth and b-boy attitude placing him leagues away from the faceless chamber boffins that had become the norm in intelligent dance music. For the first gear prison term, England had a tick master and plug-ugly head wHO could twin the lots of epic hip-hop stars America had produced, and the high profile of drum'n'bass as the first-class honours degree indigenously British saltation euphony made Goldie a figure of prime grandness. After outlay several geezerhood working on his product skills at Reinforced Records (the home of 4hero), he founded Metalheadz Records, which released germinal dark-yet-intelligent singles by Source Direct, Photek, J. Majik, Optical, Lemon D, Wax Doctor, and Peshay, among others. In 1995, Goldie released Dateless, unitary of jungle's first-class honours degree degree and topper uncut plant of art. The album couch him lame at the top of the drum'n'bass cumulus -- at least in the minds of critics and mainstream listeners -- though his followup, SaturnzReturn, displayed an challenging, personal case of Goldie hardly in retention with jungle's producer outlook. A native of Walsall, England, Goldie was natural to a Scottish-Jamaican couple and couch up for adoption. He bounced round child care homes and various sets of foster parents during his puerility geezerhood, and became fascinated with the arise of hip-hop, breakdancing, and graffiti art. By 1986, he was involved with breakdancing crews around his dwelling house of Wolverhampton; after making various trips to London for all-day breakdancing events (and to learn hip-hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa), Goldie appeared in the English objective on graffiti fine art called Bombardment. He likewise spent time in New York and Miami (working in a market kiosk selling customized gold dentition), only returned to England by 1988. For a prison term, Goldie worked at the Try 1 patronise in Walsall (likewise selling gold teeth), and then moved to London. He began suspension out with deuce fellow heads from the British hip-hop vista, Nellee Hooper and 3-D (after of Massive Attack), and by 1991 he'd been introduced to the breakbeat culture that birthed jungle; at the originative clubhouse night Rage, DJs Grooverider and Fabio pitched ancient breakbeats up to 45 rpm, blend their creations with the popular rave music of the time. Goldie was hooked on the sound of raw breakbeat techno, and he step by step switched his allegiance to jungle from the British hip-hop vista that later generated trip-hop. Through his girlfriend DJ Kemistry (later to build her name with the intermixture twosome Kemistry & Storm), Goldie hooked up with Dego and Mark Mac, 2 of the most influential figures in the emerging drum'n'bass tantrum. The duo's Reinforced Records and recordings as 4hero were fosterage an progressively artistic attitude to the euphony, and Goldie learned much well-nigh breakbeat production and engine room at their studios. He recorded his first undivided as Ajax Project, so debuted on Reinforced as Metalheadz with 2 1992 singles, "Killermuffin" and "Menace." The 1993 single "Terminator" broke him into the hobo camp tantrum -- in any case pioneering the crucial jungle conception of time-stretching (basically extending a sample distribution without fixing its tilt) the undivided evinced the maturation separation between the uplifting spout setting and its rising dark side, reliant on breakbeats and restless vibes. The name was by and by taken for his influential Metalheadz Records, which released material from a legion of crucial hobo camp artists: Photek, Doc Scott, Dillinja, Source Direct, Peshay, J Majik, Alex Reece, Lemon D, and Optical among others. Later singles such as "Angel Falls" and remixes for 4hero's Reinforced label ranch Goldie's celebrity, and in 1995 he signed a contract with London Records. His number one major-label single was "Timeless," and his debut record album of the same nominate followed in August 1995. He gained additional celebrity in early 1996, when an American circuit encouraging Björk sparked a human relationship between the two and light-emitting diode to a brief engagement period earlier they called off a wedding. Goldie resurfaced in 1998 with a high profile follow-up, SaturnzReturn, an epical two-disc set including 1 track, "Mother," that stony-broke the 60-minute roadblock itself. The record album tanked with critics and fans, leading to a return to the underground later that yr with the Closed chain of Saturn EP. Goldie mixed a two-disc volume in the Unbelievable series of mix albums compiled by Ovum, as well as a number of Metalheadz-centric sets. Spite in Wonderland, a yield album credited to Rufige Kru, was completed for a 2007 acquittance. |
