Goldie is back, sharing news of an incoming album.
One of DNB’s defining figures, the producer is set to go back to where it all began on his incoming record. Goldie presents Rufige Kru underlines his commitment to breakbeat-enabled futurism, and new album ‘Alpha Omega’ lands on May 16th via London Records – who first released Goldie some 30 years ago.
A full circle moment, ‘Alpha Omega’ taps into Goldie’s soundsystem foundations, while also offering a glimpse of total innovation.
Goldie says…
“It’s a reinvention. We’ve gone back to the source and extrapolated from there. I wanted to create something that absolutely represents what this music is all about … and where it’s going next.”
Take new single ‘Still The Same’. Sculpted by Goldie and SubMotive, the production underpins a seismic vocal from enigmatic rapper CASISDEAD.
A collaboration years in the making, the sci-fi video was directed by Elliott Gonzo; Goldie stars as an AI overlord, while CASISDEAD is the vigilante sent to hunt him down amid the backdrop of a dystopian future.
Of the video to ‘Still The Same’, director Elliot Gonzo says: “It was a huge honour to collaborate with these legends in the game. The freedom and trust I was given meant I could really push the boundaries of what’s possible with new technology, combining animation and virtual production. A massive shout-out to my co-director, Buse Simon, for helping bring these new worlds to life.”
