Goldie

Drum 'n' bass's first superstar unleashes his timeless breakbeats for Brighton Festival 2023.

No one has done more to popularise drum 'n' bass's raw sounds than Goldie. He paved the way via his influential label Metalheadz Records, breaking through with dancefloor cuts and one of the genre's first albums, the aptly named Timeless. Last year he released The Start of No Regret, a second outing for the collaborative downtempo project Subjective he shares with James Davidson, aka Submotive, the fellow drum and bass producer from Bournemouth, who has carved out his own reputation for futuristic beats with funk and soul.
