DJ Goldie Interview - THE ROOTS - Behind the Decks

[mchadwicky]

metheny, davis and mingus? nice...

[nightfall91]

Oh my word. Goldie considers ELO an influence, that is so.... cool! Honestly.

[garygluebag]

@motzjamesworkman the point of an mc is to hype the crowd and liven up a rave... trust me some of the shittest MC's are the best at a rave if it gets the crowd buzzin.....g to a rave and find out mate. go to a fantazia or a moondance or somethin an get them oldskool vibez

[motzjamesworkman]

why are mc's so fucking annoying??! thats right... spit on that track making it all dirty.... If they wanted that to accompany the track, then why the fuck was it not recorded onto the track in the first place...... 'Put your hands in the air' what a joke, I didnt think that this was Take That's scene....

[TrayzBoy]

I honestly believe that the UK is doing "way" better musically than he US. Were stuck with the likes of mainstream garbage such as waka flocka, gucci mane, lil wayne. just to name a few. although some artists like Lupe and Nas i still have faith in. I've only just gotten into DnB and i already think it's alot more better than even alot of hip hop. On that note, Go UK. Big ups to to goldie. Fuk the US, I'm moving to London. peace

[freddyreeks]

that club looks dead!

[R3ST1NP1SS]

Goldies the fuccin man!!!!

[MatSallehBoleh]

[Moscillamix]

[booshpower]

[MrEpidemik]

[draicula]

fuckin agreed, if goldie were to show up at Flex Vienna the place wud go insane!

[grinNsmile]

Goldie was at my work place today!! super cool guy with a great sense of humor

[marsvolt]

Woah! Is he playing Commix at the end?!

Thats Awesome!!

[horseyzozo]

[ntnnot]

Anyone know the first tune Goldie is playing?

[JohnnyGlobalUK]

G-Dub - Forever :D

[plonkmaroko]

once again the day is saved thanks to Jungle Jane .....:-)

[Esta08Rose]

whats the song playing in the background at the start?

[jimthearchitect]

Musically very educated. Mother (the album) was essentially a contemporary classical composition. Little wonder why many modern composers are starting to pay close attention to Goldie. Forget acting Goldie. And lets have less of all that larking about with Dizzee. Write another classic d'n'b masterpiece. Oh, and truly a seriously overlooked Graffer. Check out his artwork

[royalwww]

nobody mash up like the UK crowd! Ya dunno.

[SelinaaBaybee]

OMG i no him

goldie's mom used to give me sweets at a pub whenever i used too see her

& he was one of my dads mates from wolverhampton & he came down the street in a black limo (:

no jokes

[Cheesebtrz]

nice! consider yourself lucky!

[Ulmeyda08]

I listen to mainly rock music, but you'd have to be an absolute idiot to not respect Goldie.

[freakcsongi]

massive respect for this great artist!

[jamieiankirk]

just read nine lives by goldie... its realy intresting. he knows ALOT of people and has done ALOT of things. leg. koma *abc

[OaklynTV]

big up goldie!!

[psyne000]

Goldies been around from Day dot, a proper artist.

[Tucomen]

And i also just notice he was on of the players in the movie "Snatch"

[Tucomen]

I you like Goldie check out the "History of House" on YouTube it features Goldie. He's very informative and cool.

[CharliesDaddy22]

Orange @ Astoria was mental.

Goldie used to go to rage too under the arches charing cross..proper hard night out.

[MarcusDarling4026]

"Timeless" WAS timeless!

You can play that shit, today & ppl will be like, "What's that futuristic stuff you're playin'?"

[Profeshian]

Same with Photek's 'Modus Operandi'.

[kicsiZee]

We respect you GOLDIE from KISPEST BUDAPEST HUNGARY

[Alantitmash]

Timeless was the first tape I bought with my own money, and it never fails to make me reminisce about growing up in London in the early 90s. Goldie, Rob Playford, 4Hero and the Reinforced Records crew got me into good music. I just wish they were still making vibrant cutting edge stuff now. But as with most great musicians, artists and writers, the message is contained in the first few works. I'm really grateful for their music and their influence on my life.

[junglistik1]

what is the last tune they played?

I know it is an old one, just can't remember the name.

he played it in brooklyn on wednesday.

it was an amazing set.. didn't expect to hear horizons (LTJ)

he was really into it, came hard

[sparks5080]

The tune is

Commix - Be true

[sparks5080]

[bobanny]

[garythoflow]

vemga trypis pa mi nem

[KOWBOYTWO]

i seriously think london, the uk, are the next to blow up huge over here in the US in hip hop!! i cant take no more of lil wayne.

[supermouse720]

dear god i hope your right, but it actually looks more like their gonna rape the shit out of techno instead of getting proper musical skills

[gatorbatt]

@KOWBOYTWO i hope...let's all hope we evolve away from lame ..

[32JSE]

@KOWBOYTWO One year from your comment and i have only seen Dizzee Rascal, Roots Manuva, M.I.A which are pretty good by the way, but all of them were already popular before your comment.

[liamjd1]

@KOWBOYTWO don't fool yourself theres a lot of shite music over here too

[thescunk]

@KOWBOYTWO Amen, we've ODed on him hardcore

[zonedout245]

@KOWBOYTWO Since this comment, a lot of people have been getting into dubstep.

[Liberator975]

big ups to goldie, i wanna be the 2nd dnb dj to come out of walsall! peace!

[hornsholdingmyhalo]

im an american, and i ADORE Goldie, he's what turned me onto DnB! he's the king, screw what anyone else says, whoever that b!tch up there is, they are ignorant as hell...Goldie is fabulous, he is DnB royalty

[AllanPUK9]

kungfumagoo2 man just shut the fuck up no one's listenin to that ignorant bullshit your spurtin!

[bigcrackerpants]

shame hes playing a load of mindless crap these days

[kungfumagoo2]

how do you know i didn't go to raves in 91 your just assuming I have lived in the usa all my life? anywayz its like the monkey and the organ grinder. anyone can walk into a studio and ask them to make a tune,barking orders. the one with the real skills is the one working the gear to produce the sick cutting edge sounds. goldie is just the front man performing monkey. you know i'm right sorry to burst your bubble :)

[treb1989]

ur a fuckin batty boy dirty fuckin american u dnt knw shit suck ya mum dnb all da way pussy

[soulstuckinseth]

Relax man... We Americans aren't all a bunch of punks who know nothing like you may assume.... Respect to your country and respect to DnB.

[RobAudereEstFacere]

@soulstuckinseth, yer bigups man, dont matter where you come from, just as long as you got the love for the music.

[HiDefinitionBluRay]

@soulstuckinseth much love mate!!!

[christoclit]

if thats your honest opinion on goldie then u are a really stupid person ! u yanks are stupid you only have to watch the borat film to know that! goldie is a god at producing and a god at mixing !!! knob head !!!

[kungfumagoo2]

skilless, made a name on the back of others

[AllanPUK9]

kungfumagoo you dont have a fuckin clue, yo momma made a name for herself lying on her back for others

[kungfumagoo2]

nice one allan very constructive

[AllanPUK9]

yeah well if you come with uninformed stupid comments like "goldie made his name on the back of others" wtf do you expect, at the end of day its what he has done himself that has made his name globally recognised not what others have done for him, so you run along & do your homework

[controlremot3]

god you have no idea, then again you are american so there you go.

[kungfumagoo2]

rob playford is the man behind goldie's early success, do your homework

[controlremot3]

so did rob playford help make 'terminator'? no. 4hero are the real inspiration behind his work and you know fuck all. you ever go to a rave in 91 or go to metalheadz or speed back in in the day? no. you didnt do your homework and you FAIL.....

[DIOSANO]

ok RESPECT to Goldie,but w happend with Meat Beat Manifesto,Dangers made a Breakbeat and D&b since 1988....the roots are Grooverider,dJ Timecode(moving Shadow),Jack Dangers(meat Beat Manifesto),Goldie was the first D&b producer who jumped to mindstream.

[DandBtid]

this is a bloke who cn dj wat a man

[rytis300]

that movie was with David Bowie too they played gangsters in 1999 the movie name is "Everybody Loves Sunshine"

[c135977w]

Does anyone know the name of the british movie where Goldie played as a ganster with another actor who played as his cousin who wanted to leave the ganster lifestyle?

[sorourke4]

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Sick film

[sorourke4]

[Sleezyandy]

[raveakidd]

[DjRevTech]

[coachpaint62]

saw goldie's comment on documentry he made any the early 80's I was filmed as part of it

for some time before then I had beeen supplying goldie with aerosols for work he did for Wolverhampton Art Gallery and other projects I remember taking him to get a state of the art Air Brush Kit.He even made a canvas for one of my kid who was mad on Transformers

[ChengYuWen]

BBoy and Graf, Wow That great..

[snairblair]

wot ya mean 2 much talkin its an interview u nad

[Fouksmix]

too much talking

[siralantaylorATlive]

hahah if you look at 00:18 you can imagen him saying to himself, "oh here we go, go and fucking give it some blabby blabby all over my ill mix" hahaha

[toastandjam4]

uhh. nope

[s0348953]

who does he mention as being his major influence, can't make it out?

[LegrandnjHipHop]

he's saying, "Pat Metheny" an American Jazz Guitarist and leader of the band Pat Metheny Group.

[Bumrah123]

Check out his autobiography 9 lives. Quite old now but you'll read it over and over, totally amazing life, amazing guy. What an inspiration

[LegrandnjHipHop]

agreed ...

[tableturns77]

99% mcs suck they ruin everything

[christoff10]

100% right these guys have got to go.

[werjopt]

lol... wtf...

can't imagine tarantula or choke without an mc...

[benjaminge14]

shit

[yarou151]

liked the interview, quite insightful;

just as a side note, anyone know the name of the track between 0:15 and 0:50 at the beginning before they get started- so sweet!!:D

[PaulTheBoatMan]

MOTHER VIP NUFF SAID

[willartrobinson]

what an insight...wow...didn't realize Goldie was influenced by pat matheny...fukin ace...his art is pretty good too ...what a nice chap

[Pauluk33]

Pendulum ain't goldie. different sound and about 15 more years in the business. I'm not into pendulum very much mainly cos of the dire vocals over all the tunes. The better at remixes, thats where pendulum skills lay cos i like their remix of voodoo people. If they replaced with female vocals or have no vocals at all, their tunes would be vastly better.

Whats this but halabaloo over Pendulum anyway?

[aikighost]

Middle class jungle fans buy more records probably :D

[supashoopa]

[twilkes123]

long live the king

long live the king

long live the king

long live the king

long live the king

long live the king

[baggybod]

commix

[baggybod]

kill it

[Weston1968]

I guess this didn't cost much to produce, as they have to share a mic!

[T3knopath]

Goldie is living legend, love it or hate no one has touched the work that went into MOTHER!

[roxannejane101]

Depeche Mode is good.

[LionOfChina]

Who is the woman conducting the interview?

[noburgers]

that tune at 4.25 is Be True - Commix

[johansmit1]

wats the tune called that comes in at 4.25min?

goldie rocks! i went to a party of him in antwerp and he rocked the club big time everyone was going crazy

[bugstrut]

Goldie's memory is terrible. The Graffiti documentary that he claims he featured in back in "'94 or '92", was actually made between '85 and '87. I got a copy of it in '95, and used to watch it all the time.

[laoninja123]

I like pendulum....

[MrEpidemik]

they suck balls! fucking moron lol

[DarkShroom]

pendulum have kicked drum and bass up the ass, love or hate them

[MrEpidemik]

compare pendulum to....lets say LOGISTICS...and then we can surely say pendulum are pure shit

[DarkShroom]

well I love them both. I do understand why there's a bit of a rejection of Pendulum amongst the hardcore drum and bass fans, I have this same argument with most of my mates.

A lot of DnB producers though admit that pendulum upped the anti, even if they are a bit up their own arse.

[MalukuMix]

Dont diss Pendulem!

They better than you!

[Windy72]

The crowds do look a bit unresponsive compared to back in the old days of the jump up Jungle.

[kitchtomes]

the man who said "there will never be a better dnb album than Timeless". Don't believe the hype. And what is with all those muppets in that

club he's playing, they look lost. Yawn.

[thepaddyman123]

he is a legend

[rottenapplez]

what did jungle jane do to "hook up" the interview?? haha

[yourassisontheline]

Now i know why Metalheadz always had the best artworks. GOLDIE is GOLD. Original part of the HALL OF FAME. But right, jungle time may have gone and liquid dnb like High Contrast now rule the ares.

[Reptile754]

i think goldie is gud in jungle but hype @ trueplayaz and new headz like pendulam

but what the orignal heads have shown that they enter DNB and step back,

[UltimoImperio]

DJ Hype.. he was a master of the jungle back in the days but now he's lost it all..

Pendulum don't care about making good music just commercial stuff that'll sell to 14 year old skater boys.

[agonydaddy]

GOLDIE! U WERE IN Miami visiting ur Real Dad ur JAMAICAN DAD It's ok you can tell them..UR JAMAICAN @ LEAST I KNOW UR ROOTS GOLDIE UR THE BEST @ JUNGLE REP DJ KOOL HERC The Jamaican That Started ALL THIS>>>>BIG UP!!!

DJ Kool Herc was the originator of break-beat While growing up in Kingston JAMAICA he saw and heard the sound systems first hand at neighborhood parties called Dancehalls

Hip Hop,JUNGLE, BREAK BEAT, the whole chemistry of that came from Jamaica.Bless up!!!Unno Fi KNOW. .DONT 4 GET

[PropagandaPolice]

You Jamaicans are always so damn provincial!!

I guess you've earned though....one small island influencing so much of the world's music.

[agonydaddy]

It's Funny You say that Jamaica is Such a Small ISLAND. .But the Influence is every where Music 2 much 2 mention I cant even go in an Elevator w/out reggae or even watch TV, edu (Spelling B they Banned us),Government (COLLON POWELL),Basket Ball(Patrick Ewing), Historic Events (Marcus Garvy),Track & Field World Record holder (OSSAFA POWELL),Pirates of carribean(PORT ROYAL)lol.ITS EVERYWHERE im glad u noticed 2b Honest Not many people see what u see or even give it the time of day Bless

[lewisham692]

Goldie gets lifetime props for the Apache on Inner City Life.

[munchup11]

nicky blackmarket, hype, andy c, shy fx are the top boys in jungle/dnb

[Kennylad77]

high contrast is the main man in d'n'b, obv not jungle as he's only been around since '02 but that guy is the man!

[rottenapplez]

psssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­sh!

[rollindotcom]

Jungle was Hijacked .... by Goldie and others

[MrHSingh]

GOLDIE IS THE KING OF D&B

[adamnshane]

Yo thats like a lil bit of speedyg mixed wiv dnb ! sounds sik got the bline cumin in!

[xstephanieb2007x]

[khaledonia]

[playawifey]

[davesin]

Your mother and father must be brother and sister.

[missconceptions]

[pommedupin]

[redeemedmedia]

Hip-Hop is universal...

[jenkkemal]

[DTsumasaburo]

Pat Metheny

[protobunnay]

I don't know where or when that video was shot...of him doing a show...but is it just me or was half the crowd just standing there...=/ who the fuck goes to see a dj like GOLDIE and *doesn't* move....wtf?
