Goldie: Dare To Dream (8PM Show)

Goldie (born Clifford Joseph Price) is a pioneering British DJ, producer, visual artist and actor, renowned for his transformative influence on the jungle and drum and bass scenes from the 1990s to the present day. Emerging from the UK rave culture, he became one of the first breakout stars and most recognisable faces of electronic music, known for his fusion of breakbeats, orchestral textures and emotive vocals.

The first special guests to be announced include London-based, French-Senegalese polymath anaiis, jazz drummer, composer and producer Yussef Dayes, and jazz singers Natalie Williams and Cleveland Watkiss, with more big names to be announced soon.

Goldie first gained recognition as a graffiti artist in the early 1980s, contributing to the UK’s burgeoning street art movement. His passion for hip-hop and breakdancing led him to the US, where he immersed himself in the New York scene and began crafting gold dental jewellery, which became a signature part of his image.

His musical journey began with collaborations under the alias Rufige Kru. In 1994, he co-founded the influential label Metalheadz, which became a cornerstone of drum and bass, releasing seminal works by artists such as Photek, Source Direct and Lemon D.

His 1995 debut album Timeless, featuring the iconic track ‘Inner City Life’, reached number seven on the UK album chart and is hailed as a landmark in electronic music. ‘Inner City Life’ was recently included at number 12 on Billboard’s list of the 100 Best Dance Songs of All Time.
