GOLDIE and ULTERIOR MOTIVE d'n'b sets in The Lab LDN

Mixmag & Coors Light present Metalheadz label showcase

The Lab LDN is Mixmag and Coors Light'sweekly live stream, powered by Void Acoustics, where we showcase the finest DJs direct from our world famous office party.

On Friday May 19 we’re thrilled to be hosting drum ‘n’ bass pioneer and all-round legend Goldie alongside dynamic duo Ulterior Motive for a special Metalheadz session, in what promises to be a high-octane final Lab LDN showcase in our search for the Label Of The Decade.

Goldie boasts one of the most distinguished careers in UK dance music. Metalheadz has been a hotbed for innovation and first-rate music since its inception in 1994; his personal discography is equally impressive, encompassing multiple studio albums and many timeless tunes; and he's even been awarded an MBE, which he threatened to melt following fabric’s temporary closure.

After growing up in the Wolverhampton care system, Goldie’s journey to the top of the game has been explosive, which his forthcoming memoir All Things Remembered promises to chart in “uncensored, hard-hitting” detail.

Ulterior Motive will join Goldie for the Metalheadz Lab LDN showcase. The South Coast-hailing pair have established themselves among the label’s esteemed roster with a string of fine releases over the past four years, including 2014 debut LP ‘The Fourth Wall’ and recent Record Store Day collaboration with Goldie ‘I Adore You’. Prior to The Lab, you can catch them helming the Rinse FM airwaves on May 17.

About 4-5 years ago Goldie was performing at a club in Vancouver, BC, when the fire alarm went off. It was a false alarm, but to turn it off the fire department had to be called, so to avoid deafening everyone, the power was cut and the club went nearly dim, running only on backup power generator (there were a few bulbs on that it could power). Out of nowhere comes out a guy with a goddamn tuba, and starts playing it. Goldie starts putting the beat with his knuckles. It was going on for good 30 minutes like that until the firemen came. The vibe was amazing that night.

I love the way d'n'b sets are like a book or video game: they take time to get going, and to get in to, but then they take on a life and form of their own, and you are part of a journey. I'm only 30 mins in, but it's rollin' at this point.

Goldie’s face when he drops benny l at 01:23:10 is priceless, he knows how much of a banger that tune is 🎶👀😁

a timely reminder of how much I love Drum n Bass

[Rajoo]

Hearing this after 6 years. My lord! This mix is on fire!!!

[McFraneth]

I was at the Blue Note. The Bass Clef basement club yeah? 53 now, cancer survivor, jaded. God, can't believe how much I partied. Feel in my 20s again listening to this. 1990s London night life was fabulous. Eating fresh bagels at dawn before going home.

When you got 4 decks, but you can create a masterclass on just two. This is one of my favourite mixes of all time. It's near perfect from start to finish. Hits the feels everytime.

Fantastic set. Had never listened to Ulterior Motive before, really good performance. Goldie is Goldie, never disappoints.

[andrewwowk]

I love how both sets are almost entirely comprised of tracks from Metalheadz. Shows just how amazing the label is.

[sole__doubt]

A great mix like this takes you on a ride and makes you really feel the music. Top notch mixing.

[nodrama]

Is this the first ever DB mix with out a MC? Amazing . Can really enjoy the sounds

[yvonnemcghie]

Goldie's contribution to the underground music scene ...legendary

[roblucchetti]

is it just me or has the sound quality really come up over YT in that last few months? I'm surprised at how good it sounds...doesn't sound all flat and compressed with the depth and air sucked out of it.

[jazzyboo]

This is so amazing . I love Jungle/Drum N Bass until forever.
