Goldie is a British graffiti writer, drum and bass/jungle artist, DJ, actor, and TV personality. He became one of the first personalities in British dance music, popularizing drum'n'bass as a form of musical expression. Born on September 19, 1965, in Walsall, England, Goldie's early career saw him working on his production skills at Reinforced Records before founding the Metalheadz label. He released influential singles by artists such as Source Direct and Photek. Goldie's debut album "Timeless" (1995) solidified his position at the top of the drum'n'bass scene. Despite later ventures into acting and reality TV shows, he continues to release music and received an MBE for services to music and young people.

A native of Walsall, England, Goldie was born to a Scottish-Jamaican couple and put up for adoption. He became fascinated with hip-hop culture during his childhood years and developed a passion for breakdancing and graffiti art. His nickname "Goldie" originated from "Goldielocks," given to him during his B-boy days due to his blonde dreadlocks. In the 1980s, he gained recognition as a pioneer of aerosol art through his graffiti paintings known as 'burners' or 'pieces.' Goldie's involvement in the breakbeat culture led him to switch his allegiance from British hip-hop to jungle.

Through connections

Goldie’s 1995 debut album Timeless changed the face of music culture. Bringing the nascent drum and bass scene to the masses, the album careered into the Top 10, hit a number of album-of-the-year polls and earned enthusiastic praise from David Bowie. Goldie became a star in the process.

But while everyone was eagerly anticipating a repeat of the Timeless formula for his follow up album, Goldie had other ideas. Instead, he pushed his creativity to the max and released Saturnz Return. Brave, innovative, experimental and bursting with emotion, the two-disc 150-minute album proved to be one of the most bold and divisive sets in history. Yet twenty years on, his vision is thoroughly vindicated. His innovative blend of beats and orchestration has been emulated by everyone from Carl Craig to Pete Tong.

All of the original tracks on the album have been remastered specifically for the 21st Anniversary Edition. The collection also adds a third disc / volume of bonus material. It compiles brand new remixes alongside remastered remixes which receive their first release on CD. It includes mixes by Gremlinz and Jesta, HLZ, Grooverider, Boymerang, Optical, Martyn and more.
