Goldie: Orchestrating Drum & Bass

Goldie is one of UK dance music's most recognisable faces. The 58-year-old DJ and producer pioneered drum & bass in the early '90s, and in the twilight of his career, is still championing the genre and reimagining it for the present day.
This RA film follows Goldie as he brings his landmark debut album, Timeless, to life with a live set at Ronnie Scott's-an iconic jazz venue in London's West End-to mark the 25th anniversary of the release. Over 14 minutes, we delve into the intricacies of his productions, career and influence on drum & bass, with insights from key Metalheadz figures and band members.
This film is part of Goldie's guest-curated series in October, celebrating 30 years of Metalheadz and UK Black History Month.
