MHZ 10 Yr Tour:GOLDIE Tue. Sept. 7 @Automatic!!!!!
automatic presents
THE METALHEADZ 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TOUR  GOLDIE  W/ MC ARMANNI REIGN It’s 1991 and a bona fide B-boy by the name of Goldie finds himself caught up in the heaving mass of London’s Rage Club at Heaven on a Thursday night. DJ’s Fabio and Grooverider take to the decks once again captivating the crowd with their frenzied assault on the senses. A relative newcomer to the scene, Goldie pesters the duo for names of tracks and becomes an immediate convert to the hardcore breakbeat aesthetic. That many an outsider is choosing to pronounce the hardcore scene dead seems slightly ironic – a breakbeat specialist of the highest order has only just been born. Today there are few more influential and charismatic figures on the drum and bass/jungle scene than Goldie. Schooled like so many of his peers on hip-hop's B-boy ethos of the early 1980’s, Goldie’s influences on the breakbeat culture of hardcore may stem from his B-boy flavour, but as he explains "...but you could go even further, Messing around with sound real bad." After spending years bounding around from New York to Bristol to Miami as a graffiti artist, and noteably working on projects alongside Afrika Bambaata and Soul II Soul, 1991 saw him return to London and exposed him to the hardcore scene that proved to be Goldie’s salvation. Initially, he just listened and leared from the sidelines, helping out on the artwork for the hugely influential label Reinforced, but slow and surely the face of hardcore began to change. Where once the domineering sound had been termed "Happy", a mix of Pinky & Perky sounding vocal mad cap oscillator riff, by late 1992 a new darker age had crept in to the music. It was here that Goldie came into his own. In early 1993 under the pseudonym of "Metalheadz", Goldie would release "Terminator" on the Synthetic label, a track that would have a dramatic impact on every hardcore release that followed. With it’s eerie metallic breakbeats, "Terminator" pioneered the use of a process known as time-stretching in hardcore. It was now possible to stretch a vocal sample over any B.P.M range without altering the pitch. "Terminator" and "Terminator II" and their imitators pioneered the emergence of what became widely known as jungle. "Timeless", Goldie’s (AKA Metalheadz) first release for London Records no doubt shocked and surprised once more upon its release in November 1994. "I’d prefer to call this inner-city ghetto music, because I’m not just going to come up with what most people would envisage to be jungle. I make my music to have integrity and if you can still play it at 6 o’clock in the morning in a club, then its bona fide." With almost no national radio airplay at all the double album shot straight into the national charts at no. 7, which reflected a huge groundswell of record buyers that up until now were supposedly non-existent, and cemented the power of London's burgeoning pirate radio scene, which championed "Timeless" from before its release. Demand for Goldie’s drum & bass work was such that a live tour took his eight piece band to Europe and the USA supporting Bjork. Upon returning to the UK Goldie headlined his own sell-out tour. Whenever time allowed, Goldie would return to London to run his legendary Metalheadz club every Sunday at London’s Blue Note. BY 1997 Goldie spends his time running his Sunday nights at the Blue Note, the Metalheadz night at London’s Hanover Grand on the first Friday of every month, and working on his follow up album to "Timeless" entitled "Saturnz Return". His energy is almost limitless. " I sleep three hours a night, I just have this abyss of energy". Released on February 2nd 1998, "Saturnz Return" spawned the singles, "Temper Temper", "Digital" and "Believe". "Digital" an innovative collaboration of hip-hop and drum & bass featuring New York’s hip-hop master KRS-One explodes both in the UK and the US. Over the last five years Goldie has had his fingers in many pies. Recent tours have included Australia, South America, the United States and Japan to name but a few. These dates have seen Goldie performing alongside such artists as Beth Orton, Rage Against the Machine, Bjork and many more. Through all of this his Metalheadz imprint continues to ride the cutting edge of drum and bass, picking up only the most innovative tunes from the most talented artists. Artists such as Spirit, Calyx, Photek, John B, Marcus Intalex, Klute and Total Science continue to push the sound of the label, adding to an impressive catalogue that includes such luminaries as Digital, Ed Rush, Optical, J Majik, Doc Scott and Adam F as well as Goldie himself. 2004 marks the 10 year anniversary of the Metalheadz imprint, and Automatic is proud to bring Goldie to town on this special anniversary tour to showcase 10 years of the biggest label in drum and bass. http://www.metalheadz.co.uk/main.htm With MC Armanni Reign (Trust/Philadelphia) Tuesday September 7 With Matty and Jay-Auto Automatic The Lotus Sound Lounge 455 Abbott St. $20 in advance at Bassix, Beatstreet, Boomtown, On Deck, and Zulu no guest list for this event Boh Last edited by automatic; Aug 16, 04 at 02:44 PM.
