Studio Masters with Goldie: the music innovator, part 1

[@NSW-ye3xw]

A lot of comments on here asking what is Goldie on about. When you produce music, you hear all the elements of a track differently. You tend to be more focused on what each element is doing and how it sounds within the track. You work on sounds individually, tweak them and make them work together. It is a very technical thing. A computer screen is a graphical representation of what you are hearing. Hearing music as a listener is very different to how a producer listens to it and that can be difficult to explain. It is like listening to it from a different angle. So, before you criticise Goldie just think there maybe some of us who do know what he's on about even if you don't.

[@EpicWinz]

The man’s a musical visionary of our time.

[@budble]

love this guy every time i listen to him i go straight in the studio.

[@dynaudioprofessional]

Need more inspiration? There's a part two! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGPVYpaQj7R1bbM //Christopher. Reply

[@drifter402]

Man he's fucking nailed it. So much electronic music now is so formulaic. Like bass drops aren't even exciting any more, they're just an annoyance that you have to deal with and it's so formulaic and expected that people don't even know how to make them interesting any more.

[@michaelstevens3715]

He's a man in his element...Never thought much of his DJ'ing, and I only mention it because some of us spend our whole lives dedicated to the tables...when you're crafting some of history's greatest songs, you can be forgiven...but he's shaped the sound of a generation...Roni, Bukem, Goldie and their affiliates...they all changed the face of music. There's still nothing like a Metalheadz cut...There's a sense of soul and quality that exudes a transcendent presence in almost every release that other labels either try to emulate or are envious of. That's not a knock; every label now has their niche. Dispatch, Hospital, Foundation, etc all bring different elements to the table...Why Jungle persists as one of the more eclectic and diverse forms of dance music.

[@loma-uu5mg]

A legend with many great words but as far as I know he doesn't know how to use a piece of studio equipment and has always had others produce for him. But what he has is a vision that many with technical abilities wouldn't be able to dream of themselves.

[@ChristopherWoods]

Studio masters? Should have also had Heist in the studio at the same time given all the engineering he did for Goldie's tunes

[@khalnetherfields7263]

Let's not forget 4hero, dillinja and above all optical. Playford is the most important engineer, of course. I wonder what it's like when Goldie makes music, what is it like to work with an engineer.

[@khalnetherfields7263]

Hugh Jones I don't know, I was a bit disappointed when I found out, but think about it, he can't be a total hoax after that many years in the dnb scene, nor could he be totally illiterate after spending all that time in front of cubase and samplers. I'm thinking you might be wrong actually but I don't know of course.

[@khalnetherfields7263]

Dan Survivor Bodyweight Training bit harsh, don't you think. What's wrong with you today, difficult morning in the callcenter?

[@khalnetherfields7263]

Dan Survivor Bodyweight Training I refuse to believe that, that can't be all it is. He has to be important to the creative process somehow. You know that it's how music is made in all other genres, it's a whole group of people, it's not the norm that the artist is also the person who wrote the midi

[@robertsmithshair4199]

Rob playford never made anything good on his own though did he...

[@basswarnow]

The man - the legend. So looking forward to that album!

[@soundwaveproductivity2081]

I love that Goldie started swearing.....just makes me feel that he's very passionate about music.....heart is in it and soul..... respect to Goldie ❤️🤜🤛

[@agugyin]

Still the best narrator of music production!!!

[@miller745]

Could listen to Goldie aaaaaaaaaaaall day.

[@dynaudioprofessional]

Well, why don't you check out part 2, then? kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGPVYpaQj7R1bbM 😄 //Christopher.

[@AndySo2000]

Yeah I could listen to Goldie talk for hours. He has a way of talking from the heart and I like how he applies it to drum and bass. I'm glad to see him still so passionate about D&B all these years later, it's very inspiring.

[@Ex0rz]

I guess youtube plays a big role in that... People watch tutorials on how to produce, instead of trying to figure out stuff themselves. When they watch tutorials they just end up copying each other. People seem to lack the ability to innovate nowadays...

[@rotarurazvan8792]

You are an angel of drum'n bass,i apreciate you,very good work.

[@zodiac909]

Watching this has SINGLE HANDEDLY revitalized my faith in producing music.

[@spaceyaliens]

he does chat some shit

[@Buuuuuuuuumba]

Is it me or does goldie's accent change every interview

[@PinkyPuff69]

Nauti Boi 🤣🤣🤣

[@jamma1657]

He’s from Walsall by me Originally i saw his brother the other day in Asda he’s got gold teeth as well

[@TheDarkInstall]

Lol I was thinking the exact thing. He is trying to be all posh.

[@TheDarkInstall]

He speaks like the jogging life guru with the oversized arse in Man Down

[@pearse-hawkins]

this is literally david brent

[@oggystig]

That is so true dude

[@StrangeAttractor]

haha nailed it...

[@rudebwoyjunglist]

Dropping gems!!

[@playamaqui]

love this very much!

[@TheChrisJL]

It's not the version of Prism that got released on his album at 7:15. Anyone know about it?

[@kingtuch8938]

Wish goldie was my music teaching when i was at school

[@bigro4444]

Cheers from Las Vegas. Goldie is a mastermind.

[@ryanburrows6478]

Hey bro.im in Vegas and used to live 5mins from Goldie in Uk..Big dnb lover and have been since I was a lil kid. Nice to know there are some others in Vegas.

[@psychoactivednb]

This is amazing. Nice to know I'm not the only 1 that can't sleep more than 5 hours a night

[@dynaudioprofessional]

You're not alone in this world, Bobby. Take care, Viktorija

[@paulstent6730]

David Brent

[@tunespumpin9453]

Thanks Goldie for all the great music suggestions! Love to hear what inspired you.

[@dynaudioprofessional]

Hi. Thanks for reaching out. This video is from a few years ago, but we do have articles that dig into producing music in our Academy section: www.dynaudio.com/dynaudio-academy#people

[@Trancetechniqueradio]

Superb !

[@PARTYLINECHICAGO]

love this guy

[@MrtnsSPB]

Does anyone know the name of the background track between 3:00 and 5:00 ?

[@delphiproductionsmusic]

Grooverider said it was called Driftwood and played it on R1 but never been able to find it since, like a potential James Bond theme!

[@KCinSD84]

Amazing.

[@tobinakatarx]

Deeep ! What a legend bless up🙏

[@benjoe999]

what's the first track?

[@concretederek8055]

Goldie - Believe Grooverider rmx m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/q33ZlKiuj9Gpapo

[@jayceonstewart3087]

The tune at the end is a fucking madness. Would love to hear it propa.. But g up Goldie, real Jungle Don.....

[@ST3PH3N89]

I love how he pretends to be a conductor of an orchestra playing his amen break jungle rolls lol

[@Ex0rz]

Hes like the Hans Zimmer of DNB... Both are like the genius innovators, they have the ideas and other people put them to life.

[@マシュードーラン]

Ex0rz Hans Zimmer makes his own music though...

[@K_-_-_-_K]

Intro track?

[@known_unknown284]

What the hell is Goldie talking about?

[@voicesofdust4749]

I don't think even knows what he's talking about

[@PeteS_1994]

Music and how he sees music.

[@Hisdudeness149]

Analog dreams in a digital world. They keep calling me...Sad you don't understand...

[@InternalMind]

@@PeteS_1994 The way he see's it is through metaphors and paying people to make it the way he wants it

[@froogsleegs]

He has a musical brain, thinking in music and hearing music and rhythm in all your thoughts and feelings is what he's talking about. The world is full of music and he's a quiet genius because he's in tune with it, many people aren't. He really appreciates and understands the value of music and that is what makes a true musician, not fame or money.

[@freewheelingit]

massive

[@smiauu]

that is one great synth

[@MrCasperexpress]

Whats the name of that intro track??

[@dynaudioprofessional]

Hi! It's Goldie's own track, Believe. The Grooverider mix. //Christopher.

[@spngled8654]

Top man Goldie

[@themaggattack]

Brings yet a whole new dimension to M.C. Escher! (He should actually be called M.C. Escher!! What a perfect nic name for him!)

[@sophieregnier3755]

Oui Goldie!

[@straightoutthebox3499]

anyone else notice all Cilffs interviews are the same ...

[@danaminyip]

break it to pieces!! sleep in the woods!, big up Goldie

[@Greatquotesmatter]

Haha gotta love Goldies character. He has a lot to thank Rob Playford for believe me. All these Goldie production things. I doubt he's done any tracks alone but he's not on his own there. Has great taste in producers though.

[@vernon0033]

so smart, though self growth and travel

[@elliotbevan7984]

The matt goss of DnB

[@nathanaelthomas2945]

I just wanted to get a brief speaker review 😭

[@dynaudioprofessional]

And you got a 10-minute talk about mixing and inspiration 😮 We've got your back though. All of our LYD reviews are right here: www.dynaudio.com/dynaudio/reviews#show-reviews-4776. //Christopher

[@Gynkys]

great

[@ninamilosavljevic8kg]

part 2 ? :))

[@dynaudioprofessional]

It's here! You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGPVYpaQj7R1bbM 😄 //Christopher.

[@fabiencazeau1506]

Bon bah j'aurais dû en rester à sa musique.

[@NOTwowitsphil]

You are either gonna get this or just not at all.

[@solitudeguard5688]

Goldie is a master that looks like a scumbag, yet speaks with intimidatingly beautiful character and passion. True legend.

[@dippedincustard]

I want what Goldie is smoking

[@surviver5738]

Meth

[@fireflake_dnb_470]

he takes cbd i think.

[@jordanmeliani4621]

Perfectly understandable, vision bud, he is speaking with images.

[@PinkyPuff69]

I agree with Goldie I don’t want to hear “the math” either. I want to hear the music.

[@mmmusicfren]

What about Photek lmao

[@adamnonrev6893]

HNRYRCHRD what about the people who actually produced Goldie's tracks? Timecode, heist and now ulterior motive..

[@stateagent7721]

He never denies it! Always respects his engineers etc

[@MistabishiTV]

All his music is produced by other people

[@mhalder8119]

Coolgoll

[@danbee3926]

👍🏻

[@whyyoutripnoffme9109]

👍🏿👍🏿

[@aleksandrsiskin5377]

When "he" released "his" last album in the interview he stated that he doesn't know how to make music. He just make a picture of blocks of track on whiteboard and give his suggestions now and again to his engineers. What a fucking legend, but I'm sorry I dont adore shit.

[@lee_drifting]

dats basically producing right there, u dont necessarily need to make beats to become a producer. he comes up with the ideas and he has someone lay down the sounds for him. dats how producers produced music back then

[@toppatoppa5236]

4 hours sleep. Up for 20 a day.. sleep deprived genius

[@martinellen9334]

😎 as fcuk 🤠

[@jamielynch8267]

4 hours average sleep. Too much packet

[@harveycrook5365]

Ahahaha doubt he still bangs it, just a wired up person

[@jnkacme5756]

Is he tripping his balls???

[@jnkacme5756]

...he actually makes a lot of sense.. like tripping does

[@nickhyder9141]

Why is he so pretentious? Its just breakbeats bud.

[@waNErBOY]

is not, that's why he's a legend

[@westboy3381]

you fucking moron, its the complexity in his music, no drops are formulated and each drum break has a point

[@PeteS_1994]

And???

[@loma-uu5mg]

He's not pretentious he's just incredibly passionate about the music

[@HAZARDOUS88]

Way to put no thought into that comment at all, Nick.

[@AbCDef-zs6uj]

The effects of 30+ years of doing club drugs.

[@Sektion9]

Is this an endorsement of club drugs?
