RUFIGE KRU – GOLDIE



It all began in 1991 at a club night called Rage at Heaven. The rave scene had emerged from acid house and was building its own identity, with pioneer Djs such as Fabio and Grooverider mixing cutting edge sounds with vintage funk and reggae and playing tracks like Carl Craig’s seminal ‘Bugs In The Attic’ at 45rpm instead of 33. The vibe was explosive, the adrenalin was pumping.

This is where well-travelled Walsall born B boy Goldie – a name he got while customising gold teeth – ended up when just from a few years in New York and Miami, taken by his new girlfriend Kemistry and her flatmate, known as DJ Storm.

Rage puzzled him the first time, blew his mind the second and there was no turning back: Goldie the UK B Boy who was hanging out with Nellee Hooper and 3 D pre Massive Attack, gold teeth maker, respected breakdancer and renowned Grafitti artist (his first brush with fame was taking part in ‘Bombin’, the definite documentary about the 80s grafitti scene) had found his purpose in life. He was going to make music, and his music was going to be played at clubs like Rage.

Soon, Goldie met Mark and Dego – AKA 4 Hero - from Reinforced Records, the reference label of the emerging scene. In exchange of artwork and logo design, he got into their legendary Dollis Hill studio. Under their guidance, Goldie did not only capture the vibe of the music he had heard out, but he added his own touch, inspired by his passion for hip hop, an insatiable musical curiosity. getting the ultimate kick of watching and hearing Grooverider play his first ever track, Goldie grew in confidence and made his first official release for Reinforced, ‘Darkrider’ in 1992, under the Rufige Kru moniker. Thanks to the expertise he had picked up and his meeting with like-minded producers such as Doc Scott, Goldie was finding his own sound.

His passion and determination were rewarded the following year, and his third Reinforced release. With its dark atmosphere, steely breakbeats and restless vibe, ‘Terminator’ introduced what was to become a must in jungle production, timestretching. All the DJs followed the path of Grooverider, who instantly played the track when it was given to him. ‘Terminator’ brought a fresh, darker edge to the scene. Jungle had reached another level.

Through his own Metalheadz imprint set up shortly after, Goldie showcased early releases by some of the most crucial jungle artists; from Doc Scott, Photek and Peshay to Dillinja, J Majik and Optical. The Metalheadz weekly residency at London’s legendary jazz club The Blue Note captured the essence of the music to a packed and enthusiastic audience and became a must.

Goldie landed a contract with PeteTong’s offshoot FFRR, part of London Records, and released the sumptuous Timeless, a twisted hymn to urban Britain. Hailed unanimously, the album sold over 250,000 copies, comforting a charismatic, passionate and inspired Goldie as the spokerperson of the hippest scene of the times.

Fame kept rising beyond music. While turning into a bona fide celebrity with acting in cult and mainstream films, taking part of high profile TV shows, and becoming a fixture in the gossip columns, Goldie never ever lost touch with his jungle roots and was often spotted in the middle of the dancefloor at his own club nights, or paying respects to Grooverider or Randall. Nothing has captured better his attachment to the music than his sporadic return to the ‘Rufige Kru’ moniker for more uncompromising slices of vinyl, such as ‘Beachdrifta’ backed by a ‘Stormtroopaz’ VIP mix for the relaunch of Metalheadz in 2001. for the last few years, Goldie has DJed all over the world, still one of the highest profile ambassador of drum and bass.

For Goldie, turning into ‘Rufige Kru’ is capturing the essence of what makes him so passionate about music: a dark, unsettling, gutsy sound going back to the roots of jungle, made even more potent through state of the art studio production. In 2006, Goldie enrolled young and gifted producer Heist (AKA Strider) to help him deliver his ultimate tribute to the scene that captured his heart and soul over fifteen years ago: a Rufige Kru album, ‘Malice In Wonderland’ the first artist album ever for Metalheadz. Get ready for a treat.

Panacea emerged in 1996 with his massive full-length ‘Low Profile Darkness’ - a landmark debut that smashed headfirst into drum & bass by musically invigorating and unifying movements that artists such as Alec Empire (DHR) and Ed Rush & Nico (No U-Turn) had lead in developing. Massive interest by the press followed, hyping the controversial musician. The leading member of the ‘Position Chrome’- collective, Panacea has gone on to release over 23 EPs and 5 LPs.’Low Profile Darkness’ was followed by ‘Twisted Designs’, using a more technoid sound. It was licensed to ‘Industrial Strength’ in the USA, the prolific label run by hardcore-godfather Lenny Dee. Due to the sucess of the record Panacea started touring in the states, where he found an audience obsessed with his sound. Returning to germany he then finished ‘Phoenix Metabolism’ an album very much influenced by hiphop culture. ‘German Engineering’, released in 2000 follows after one of Panacea's most ambitious years ever while ‘Underground Superstardom’ in 2002 sums up the metamorphosis of the eccentric and extraordinary artist and introducing collaborations with nyc-based female ‘DJ Siren’ and close friend ‘Dose D.’, a superb berlin dnb-dj. Also the video for the single ‘The Evil Seed’, released with the lp, causes quite some irritation using the talents of actress Nora Tschirner who is in germany well known for being an mtv-vj and a soapstar! Further credits include the critically acclaimed ‘Architettura’ installment on the US label Caipirinha as well as releases under the minimalist guise M2 on Mille Plateaux, leading industrial label Ant- Zen and Hands Recordings which is home to industrial-legends ‘Winterkaelte’, his collaborative project Disorder 2nd Gen with fellow Position Chrome artist Problem Child and the superb 12" double pack release, followed lin 2003 by the full-lenght CD ‘Hardcore owes us Money’ under The Redeemer moniker with Ambush Recordings DJ Scud. Furthermore Panacea released records as ‘Rich Kid’ on the berlin- based label ‘Ad Noizeam’, DJ Scud's legendary ‘Ambush’-imprint and again Ant-Zen. a great deal of work and passion in '02 went into his debut as composer for ‘Fatal Attractions’, a radical modern-dance theater by Christoph Winkler, internationally acclaimed choreograph. Debuting in Berlin it chaught the attention of the ‘Goethe- Institute’, for which Winkler produced ‘Hinter den Linien’ in '03 using the talents of Panacea again who found just another way of making his work more prolific. Further into 2003 he started collaborating with one of his heroes of old ‘Luna-C’, the notorious UK-Producer who entered the british charts in '91 with his massive hit ‘Sesame Street’. The hardcore-hero then founded ‘Kniteforce’, a label well-know to those who followed the history of hardcore/jungle in england, where Panacea released three 12’ and various tracks on their compilations. he also remixed artists like Belladonna Killz, canada's most exciting new talent and Luna-C himself. after a namechange The Panacea teamed up with the offkey-crew in late 2005 and will go on working closely together with raiden in 2006.One of the hardest working and varied musicians in the world, The Panacea succeeds again and again with his furious drum ‘n’ bass.

Nicky Blackmarket

is one of the original pioneers of drum and bass, and he is still the most faithful soldier for the scene around the world. His early influences came from his mother's background in the jazz scene, and it is improvisation and variety that characterise his DJ performances throughout his career. At the start of the eighties, Nicky was 14 and playing electro at youth clubs in London. He played with long-time collaborator Clarky and began to mix all forms of dance music, at house parties and on the radio. Friends FM, run by Mad B, gave Nicky a good education and the momentum to start his own shop in London, the legendary Blackmarket Records. In 1992, as the house scene moved towards breakbeat, Nicky created a separate department downstairs to cater for the sound that would eventually be called Drum and Bass. In the mid-nineties Nicky pushed the hardcore scene with a regular show on Pulse FM and performances at the Roller Express. He moved into production, making his first record "Spam EP", along with various remixes and releases on his label Gyroscope, with artists like Ray Keith. This exposure fuelled his DJ career and Nicky decided to put all his efforts into playing his music around the world. "...first and foremost I am a DJ." As the jungle scene exploded Nicky formed his legendary partnership with the late Stevie Hyper D. These performances are still regarded as the standard by which all others are judged, and mp3s of those sets will probably be on the internet forever. Blackmarket Records supported the scene as a focus for the community, an essential component in an world without the internet. Nicky started another label "Kartoonz" featuring the anthem "Two Degrees", confirming his status as a central force in the scene. Unlike many superstars, Nicky still works in his shop and is a promoter of fresh talent and ideas, unafraid to help new artists and organisers push the artform forward. His love of drum and bass keeps him from descending into the mindless repetition and lazy performances characteristic of many in the scene. Nicky invites you to sample his philosophy at the shop in D'Arblay St, London, or at any of his shows around the world. Whooiiiiiiiiiiiikked!
