DJ Goldie
by Kat Brady
DJ Goldie has spent the last decade perfecting himself as a jack-of-all-trades while skillfully redefining hardcore Drum ‘n’ Bass music. Founder of the legendary Metalheadz label, Goldie has been a poster child for the breakbeat jungle movement for over a decade —both at home in the UK and internationally. Since the early 1990’s this gold grill-wearing B-boy has appeared in several films, been romantically linked with Bjork, gained critical acclaim for his “finger paint on the walls” graffiti art, and helped evolve the D-n-B genre from its “happy” mainstream ambience to a darker, more soulful underground sound. This Friday (July 21) Goldie brings his big bass talents to the OPM Lounge alongside Toronto’s Mr. Brown, with Basha and Bill Bacon, 10pm.
