We’ve been itching to announce this one. GOLDIE is a true Drum & Bass icon and creator of the Metalheadz label which is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year. Don’t miss your chance to see Goldie throw down a massive 3 Hour set at Lion Arts on December 15th. Ticket sales go live on Monday December 11th at 12pm. Snap yours up early to avoid disappointment.

The first superstar produced by the breakbeat jungle movement, Goldie popularised drum’n’bass as a form of musical expression just as relevant for living-room contemplation as techno had become by the early ’90s. Goldie became one of the first personalities in British dance music, and the high profile of drum’n’bass as the first natively British dance music, made Goldie a figure of prime importance.

He founded Metalheadz Records and, in 1995 Goldie released Timeless – one of jungle’s first and best full-length works of art, which entered the UK charts at #7 and put him squarely at the top of the drum’n’bass heap. The beginning of the millennium ushered in a new era for Goldie’s musical production. He produced several releases during this period, the likes of which further established the rough yet similarly emotive sound with which he and Metalheadz were best known. Examples include Say You Love Me, Malice In Wonderland and Breakin Glass, each of which were instrumental in the development of Goldie’s own personal style. So too was the output of Metalheadz’ during this period: the label amassed just shy of sixty releases throughout the decade, nurturing the likes of now-globally known drum and bass artists such as Alix Perez, Noisia and S.P.Y to name a few.

Goldie has also ventured into the acting and modelling worlds, making his catwalk debut for the high end fashion house Louis Vuitton whilst his acting credits include the 1999 James Bond film ‘The World Is Not Enough’, Guy Ritchie’s ‘Snatch’ and the BBC soap opera ‘EastEnders’. At the turn of the decade he was knighted as a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for services to music and young people. With it, he became one of few electronic musicians to ever achieve such an award. natively British dance music, made Goldie a figure of prime importance.
