I was Goldie’s taxi driver once and when we got to his place he gave me a stack of records from boxes by the front door, Metalheads blew my head off and was really a reality check for me in terms of music production. That was nearly 20 years ago, lovely lovely bloke. ❤
I actually saw her twice,52nd Street back in the 80s,my first wife loved her soul/funk then and then again with the urban cookie collective and yes mate you’re right RIP
I'm soo glad i discovered 52nd Street but forgotten how as i was only 15-16 at the time. The Children of the night album was so sublime! Her Voice was so Angelic! Moved me so so much.
This is so important and also so easily looked over, especially in the frenzied mindstate one is normally in, when dealing with anything involving mortality. We often think selfishly and relate it to ourselves, and I'm not saying that's always the case--but yeah, it is, a lot. And so, it's so very important to remember to take care of other people, if, when, and where you can. I became handicapped in 2020, after 40 years of running around like a mad man, happily so. It's easy to forget to think about others.
True words. Had the privilege of, washing and rubbing my grandma's feet before she went to sleep the last time I saw her. She passed peacefully during the night.
9:08 - takes his cap off out of sheer respect and sincerity. Peppy and happy-go-lucky guy went serious-mode. I appreciate his honesty and vulnerability there, appreciate and respect it in full.
Nothing is more ‘90s than inner city life. Those beats, synths and vocals, combined with that video. It’s the ultimate urban vibe of ‘90s alternative electronica. Iconic, absolutely iconic.
0:33 - 1:23 Pure Poetry from the man. Let the mitsies and the love doves 🕊 take over every raver bringing peace to their brother and sister. Pure Magic Bless Goldie and all Ravers, putting love in the dance🙏 ❤
Best chapter ever and forever, Goldie is not only great at music but at speaking as well. Fan of the tune the same moment it went out, even if I'm a house head, Diane's voice combined with those breaks just got me into D&B ...a f angel, yes! Not so long ago I got that new remix vinyl that puts her voice in front of everything as a tribute some say. Deserved.
I used to work at a skate/snowboard/CD exchange shop in the mid 90’s in Utah. I was always given our promo CD’s. My tastes were far from normal. Goldie’s “Inner City Life”, Roni Size & Reprazent’s “Brown Paper Bag,” were pivotal in my mid 20’s. I consider both as the reasons I started mixing vinyl shortly thereafter. Many of us are now in our 50’s. To those of us who made it this far, may we make it further. To those we’ve lost, We miss, and love you. The only thing we all have, but we can NEVER GET BACK IS TIME! Use it well! Onelove!
Goldie, you’ve been such an influence in my life. As a biracial man, as a producer, as an urbanite. I’ve listened to your music since I was a child. I’m all grown now and making drum and bass myself. I don’t do it for fame, recognition or any of that shit. I do it to travel back to when I first heard your records and influence at the turn of the century. Your rhythms and methods are the soundtrack to my entire life. and from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything.
I was living in the U.K. when Timeless was released. Goldie's right- it symbolized the 90's. The first time I heard the beat drop it just blew my mind and I stopped listening to pop music and went crazy for drum n bass. That tune and Josh Winx's Higher State of Consciousness were, for me, were cutting edge and futuristic in a way no other type of music was. Timeless is still in my Top 10. Really enjoyed watching this.
Well that was an emotional rollercoaster! All this super vibrant, effusive entertaining energy and then snap straight to a moment of heavy-hearted candour and tender remembrance... and then straight back again! He's great value and it's a great song.
Such a genuine human being. A person who is showing who they are, uncompromisingly, authentically, and beautifully themselves. Utmost respect for the art and for the ability to show true emotions.
I got my double cd of 'timeless' from Virgin records Newcastle on day of release by swapping the £18.99 sticker for a £1.99 sticker. Great memory, even better album. Thanks G, sorry i stole it x
Virgin would've still have paid the same revenue to the label, the sticker price you paid makes no difference. If anything, fair play! Artists are always getting ripped off, this time it was Virgin 😂
Goosebumps - what a video and story, absolutely anstonishing. I've never even heard of that song coming from a german techno childhood born in 99, so that's an amzing discovery for me !
Youve got a whole load of amazing foundational jungle/ dnb albums to check out from the 90s.... Goldie - Timeless Adam F - Colours ( won the MOBO award) Roni Size Reprazent- New Forms ( won the Mercury music prize) 4 Hero - Two Pages Dillinja - Cybotron LTJ Bukem - Logical Progression Grooverider - Mysteries of Funk Fabio - Liquid Funk Peshay - Miles From Home Ed Rush and Optical - Worm hole Photek - Form and Function High Contrast- Colours ...and more
That was so sad, yet beautiful by Goldie to open up his heart about that moment with Diana. Diana's voice has moved me so much from 52nd Street onwards. Music does touch the soul, heart, feelings and emotions so much! Inner City Life is timeless. Fantastic upload yet again DJ Mag. Thank you.
This was the high peak of electronic music and i am so happy that i discovered so much of it at this time. Underworld, massive attack, portishead, chemical brothers, aphex twin, leftfield, goldie….the whole early d&b, detroit techno, warp records stuff. My first two electronic music cd‘s where wagon christ throbbing pouch and aphex twin classics, the third jacobs optical stairway…..will never forget
Love Goldie, thankfully I was able to go to one of his shows and I even got up on stage for him to sign one of his cds. Such a cool guy, I will always bump his tunes till the day I die. Cheer, legend
I love this thing called Drum and Bass. It's been a constant in my life for the past 20 years and never lets me down. I'm glad to see it coming around again so maybe the world is ready this time.
This is one of the most important songs that made DNB to what it is today! This changed the whole scene back in the day, and it is still in the back of our heads. I still go back and listen to it now and then, and I can still feel that vibe I got from it the first times I heard it and saw the music video. This was back in the day when me, Teebe and K/Polar were making musik and spinning vinyl 24/7, what I life we had!! Goldie made our lifes richer from the day Inner City Life was released!
Damn, this video floored me. I was in tears with their story. Crazy how some of these legends are not with us today. Goldie is still a pistol, lol. Respect!
Goldie's INCredible mix from 1999 was my introduction to dnb. It changed my life. When watching the movie Snatch years later, when Goldie appeared on the screen I did the Leonardo DiCaprio TV point meme. Inner City remains timeless.
I used to work for Metalheadz' distribution company in the 90's and getting Goldie was one of the biggest privileges of my life! This guy is so genuine it's unreal! such a character. He's completely right about Timeless as well - it came out in 1995 and the Jungle / DnB community wasn't ready for it, at the time. It took many years for everyone to truly appreciate it. Big respect!!!
Looking forward to this one. Big up Goldie, an absolute pioneer and a legend in the dnb scene. Ruffige Kru on Reinforced Records, Metalheadz label and his graffiti art. R.I.P to Diane Charlemagne who did the vocals, a beautiful soul. Also in Urban Cookie Collective.
I saw the first 5 minutes of this before work today, then went off listening to Timeless. Replayed it a couple of times throughout the day. Finished the video when I got home, and seminal is the exact right word for that album. I couldn't quite articulate that when I was listening to it before, but I kept thinking about how much all my favourite DnB from the late 90s was so obviously inspired by this masterpiece. Thanks for the music, I wouldn't be where I am today without it.
I can't remember the number of times I listened to Timeless when I first heard it decades ago and over the years since, but it's been a full journey every single time. RIP Diane. Beautiful story to hear about the people involved with this classic. I teared up too. Respect! ❤
That was a blast from the past! What an interview, Goldie still brings so much energy and personality, and took me back like it was yesterday Beautiful tribute, and moving moment about Diane too, RIP 🎧❤
Back in my hey day when I was a young drum & bass DJ, I had played alongside many big time D&B artists. However, when I met Goldie in the early 2000s? I was star struck. He was and still is the man. I saw him earlier this year play a club and he absolutely ripped the ceiling off that venue. Easily one of the top 3 drum and bass artists to do it.
Loved this, need to delve into Goldie’s back catalogue. What a great interview and a solid bloke. Refreshing to see male vulnerability and emotion shared like that, let it out. Thanks Goldie & DJ Mag.
Brilliant track, still got it right here on vinyl from when it came out. Some powerful stuff here. He's such a top bloke, isn't he? Clearly still in love with music and all it's infinite possibilities. Never stop geezer!
Beautiful track. Still just as amazing today. As the first listen. Powerful sentiments shared Much respect to Goldie And crew for this visionary track and “Timeless” as a whole. Incredible
The game changer. This song introduced my BFF DJ Static and I to the world of Drum and Bass dueing our teenage years. 3 decades later and the muisc has only grown and grown. Thank you, Goldie, Diane, Kemistry, Randall and all the greats. ❤❤
I went from ‘oh hey, that’s cool a doc with Goldie about innercity’ to bawling my eyes out. “Always rub somebody’s feet when they are dying” is such a profound thing to say. While being 100% honest and true. Rip Diane Charlemagne Thank you Goldie and thanks DJ Mag.
One of the most powerful and truly authentic interviews I have seen in recent history. Truly spectacular and Goldie, my guy, what a Legend. Absolutely necessary to give flowers to all the pioneers of the genre 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
at the time, i was a skinny stoned white boy from Belfast who was all about Detroit techno & 909s.. and even i knew ICL was something special. used to get stoned out, put on the cd, lie back & jus drown in the bass. and for what it's worth, i could listen to Goldie talk about crisps or washing up powder & STILL be moved by his passion & down to earthness..
New to London in 1995. Just visiting and happened to wander into an HMV Megastore. Saw what I learned later to be the Metalheadz logo on a fat double CD album on the Underground labeled store shelf. The logo looked so cool and unusual, I bought it on impulse not knowing what I was buying. Played the very first track on CD1 (Innercity Life) later on my Discman while observing the bleakness of winter from the warmth of inside. That track captured and plugged me into what felt like the soul and essence of London. Never heard a sound like that before. Being new to the Jungle and the emerging Drum n' Bass scene back then, the emotional impact was as confusing as it was unforgettable. That impact and first impression lives on years later. A true master piece.
My favourite ever rave memory, Goldie happened to be playing whp in Manchester like a week after Diane Charlemagne’s passing the, city where she is from. When he played inner city life, the amount of people who impromptu had lighters out to pay respects to Diane was very emotional
Goldie is an absolute legend! Thank you so much for sharing this inspirational, and heartfelt story about the masterpiece "Inner City Life". 🙏 RIP Diane Charlemagne and Kemistry.

Used to see him at champneys in Tring
Did he ever mention which football team he supports?
Not a trick or a random question. It will settle a bet in my favour depending on who you say.

As she wept her tears fell on his feet of which she used her hair to wipe.... 🥹😭
My auntie Diane. Currently going for a walk listening to her music. So proud Thanks for this ❤️✨

One of my favourite singers in this
I miss Diane so much her voice was staple to my life growing up. Much love she is a legend!

the album that got me into electronic music after Kraftwerk.
Goldie is such an amazing story teller, and not only through his music
I saw him at a club in Seoul in 2007- great show, but he came out into the crowd afterward. Just a cool dude.
ever feel like a song HAD to exist? this is one of those songs.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely. Timeless took effort to appreciate but the reward wasn't just for the immediate listener. Its ripples changed the face of music.
Absolutely!
this song is the reason i like DNB!! Im not a massive DNB head, but hearing old songs like these make me remember that i love the genre
Love all these interviews! Giving these legendary artist their flowers. Bravo!!
She lives eternally in that song. RIP Diane.
And several other great tracks... ❤

Always love seeing goldie speak. He's funny, entertaining and incredibly honest
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen, what a legend
Brilliant. The best one yet. Goldie is a great storyteller. He needs to write a book!
He has. “All Things Remembered” (2017).
Cheers for that, one for the Xmas book list.

This is a gem. This is unique. This was new. And full of energy and love.

Yup. 100%. I was living around Portobello Road at that time and when it dropped it was everywhere, coming out of cars and flats and shops.
I can't remember the number of times I listened to Timeless when I first heard it decades ago and over the years since, but it's been a full journey every single time. RIP Diane. Beautiful story to hear about the people involved with this classic. I teared up too. Respect! ❤
30 years later and Diana's voice is still timeless to me..RIP.

That's why we love you Goldie. I wish I could be 10% of that swagger !!! Absolute legend, and made me cry too. Big up !!!
Album came out during the best times of my life and brings out memories knowing some no longer around that I experienced the times with. Timeless AF
Goldie has never changed. Love him and this brings memories and tears. Salute you and Diane
This was absolutely amazing! Goldie is a proper one!
Glad you enjoyed it!

and for what it's worth, i could listen to Goldie talk about crisps or washing up powder & STILL be moved by his passion & down to earthness..
Goldie on crisps...I would pay a fair £ to hear that.
I could listen to Goldie’s stories all day every day.
Wow, that chocked me. What a legend.
An absolute gem! Thank you Goldie! Bless Up!
Masterpiece !!!! Diane was an Angel !!!! ❤❤❤❤
Superb stuff - a stonewall CLASSIC! 👏 Shared on Sonicstate today
Best "Making Of" so far. Goldie is one of the OGs of dance music in general. So many great quotes. Epic times!
Beautiful story. Respect Goldie.
Rest in Peace Diane Charlemagne, drum and bass vocalist royalty right there.
The song already makes me cry now this videos got me crying too. Thank you so much Goldie and thank you Diane rest easy Queen. Truly amazing voice
