Following some stand out shows in 2023 including We Out Here Festival in Dorset and Forwards Festival in Bristol, a return to the legendary Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club across 2 nights and a memorable final show of the year at KOKO celebrating 3 decades of the iconic Metalheadz label, the latest and most impressive iteration of Goldie’s live band is here.
Consisting of a unique two-drummer system in Adam Betts and John Blease, the line-up also includes James Davidson – who collaborated with Goldie on the acclaimed Subjective album The Start Of No Regret – and musical director/multi-instrumentalist Matt Calvert, who has worked with Goldie since those legendary Royal Festival Hall gigs back in 2015.
“I feel like these musicians were born to play my music,” says Goldie. “They get the heart and soul of it, the raw, street vibes and the super-accelerated technological alchemy of it. There’s no doubt in my mind, these are going to be the most incredible shows we’ve ever done. It’ll be a harder, more club-oriented show this time. We’re plugging directly into the heart of the rave, into the heart of drum’n’bass. Flick the switch and head to the stars – it’s going to go off.”
Support comes from Submotive
Submotive (James Davidson) is a drum & bass DJ, producer & engineer from Bournemouth on the UK’s south coast. Previously one half of the recently separated duo “Ulterior Motive” and co-founder of the Guidance record label, James is also Goldie’s engineer and production partner in new downtempo project “Subjective”. Over the last 10 years he has carved out a well respected reputation for futuristic, high production beats with plenty of funk and soul for a large number of top record labels touring the world with high energy DJ sets in the process. This new chapter sees James ramping up rather than slowing down, pushing forward with an impressive lineup of forthcoming releases over the next 12 months including solo releases and collaborations with the scenes best producers and labels.
