Информация об исполнителе
Товарищ Goldie, так же известный как Rufige kru, английский ди-джей, композитор, продюссер и инструменталист Goldie (настоящее имя Clifford Price) родился 28 декабря 1965 года.
Одна из первых суперзвезд 90-х взошла на небосклоне двух, на первый взгляд, несоединимых музыкальных стилей - хип-хопа и рэйва, давших в результате
симбиоза так называемый Drum’n’Bass (или Jungle). Несмотря на то, что Goldie вряд ли можно считать изобретателем и пионером стиля (большинство специалистов отдают здесь пальму первенства ди-джеям Фабио и Грувирайдеру), он, несомненно, стал первым исполнителем этой синтетической музыки. Его имидж - полный рот вставных золотых зубов, откуда, собственно и псевдоним, естественная и в высшей степени изящная пластика - стал четким водоразделом между Goldie и сонмом бесталанных подражателей. Называя Goldie ‘’самым интеллигентным исполнителем современной танцевальной музыки’‘, английские критики ни на йоту не грешат против истины. Уроженец Вулвергемптона, Goldie учился в художественном колледже (подавляющее большинство учащихся которого были белые), однако стал приверженцем не традиционного искусства: граффити и хип-хопа. Одно время он входил в состав сразу 5 групп брейк-данса, а вскоре организовал собственный коллектив ‘’B-Boys’‘, с которым часто выступал в Лондоне. Свою поездку в Нью-Йорк Goldie заснял на видеокамеру. В частности, он запечатлел процесс превращения дома своего отца в художественную галерею. По возвращении в Лондон музыкант приобрел крупный лондонский бутик ‘’Try 1’‘, специализирующийся на продаже ювелирных изделий. Отработав в роли звукооператора и продюсера около трех лет на фирме Reinforced Records, Goldie в начале 90-х основал собственную компанию Metalheadz, на которой летом 1995 года записал первый полномасштабный альбом в стиле Jungle - Timeless.

Clifford Joseph Price, better known as Goldie (born 19 September 1965, Walsall, West Midlands, England) is an English electronic music artist, disc jockey, visual artist, and actor. As a musician he works mainly within the jungle and drum and bass genres.
Early life
He is of Jamaican and Scottish heritage. He was put up for adoption and raised in child-care homes and by several foster parents.
Price was a member of a breakdance crew Westside, based in the Whitmore Reans and Heath Town areas of Wolverhampton, in the 1980s. He later joined a breakdance crew called the Bboys, and made his name as a graffiti artist in the West Midlands. His artwork around Birmingham and Wolverhampton was featured heavily in Afrikaa Bambaataa's documentary Bombing.
He took part in the largest ever British graffiti art battle alongside Bristol artist Robert «3D» Del Naja, who later formed Massive Attack. He is also mentioned for his graffiti in the book Spraycan Art by Henry Chalfant and James Prigoff, which contained several samples of his art.
He moved to the US due to graffiti projects and also started selling grills (gold teeth) in New York and Miami, he continued in this business after his return to the UK in 1990. Contrary to popular belief this is not where his nickname was derived, it stems from an earlier nickname 'Goldielocks' that was given to him during his B-boy days and subsequently shortened when he no longer had dreadlocks.
Music career
Drum and bass
By 1991, Price had become fascinated by the British breakbeat music scene; and his girlfriend, DJ Kemistry, introduced him to the pioneering jungle and drum and bass producers Dennis 'Dego' McFarlane and Mark 'Marc Mac' Clair, known as 4hero.
In 1992, Price released his first track as Ajax Project. At the same time, he did design and A&R work for 4hero's Reinforced record label.
His releases «Killa Muffin» b/w «Krisp Biscuit» and the Dark Rider EP were released under an alias, Rufige Cru. More recently, he has used the alias Rufige Kru to release collaborations with other producers such as Heist.
His track «Terminator», released under the name Metalheadz (sic) in 1992, was a hit in the jungle scene, and is noted for pioneering the use of timestretching. In 1993 he released «Angel», another 12» on the Synthetic Hardcore Phonography label. 1994 saw him setting up his own record label, Metalheadz.
His first globally released album, Timeless, followed in 1995. Timeless entered the UK Albums Chart at number seven. The album fused the breakbeats and basslines common in jungle with orchestral textures and soul vocals by Diane Charlemagne. The album's title track was a 21-minute symphonic piece. «Inner City Life», a track taken from the album reached number 39 in the UK Singles Chart.
Price released his second album in 1998, Saturnz Return. The album's opening track, «Mother», is an hour-long orchestral drum and bass piece. The remainder of the album featured appearances by David Bowie, Noel Gallagher and KRS-One.
In 2002, Price said that he had been working for three years on a film called Sine Tempus, described as a coming-of-age story of a young paintbrush artist, and in 2006 announced its soundtrack as his new album. The album was released via the Metalheadz website in 2008. The film has not been released.
Price is also known for his work as the leader of the Rufige Kru. This group has no fixed members; it has included some drum and bass producers such as Technical Itch, Heist, Cujo, Agzilla Da Ice, Danny J, Doc Scott and Rob Playford.
Classical music
During August and September 2008 the BBC broadcast Maestro, a reality television show in which eight celebrities, including Price, learned to conduct a concert orchestra. Price was placed second, behind Sue Perkins.
On July 31, 2009 the first of a two-part television programme Classic Goldie was broadcast showing how, in the wake of his success in the Maestro programme, he learns to write a score for a large orchestra and choir. The resulting composition entitled Sine Tempore (Timeless) and commissioned by the BBC, was performed at two children's Promenade concerts in the Royal Albert Hall on 1 and 2 August 2009, a concert which featured music connected with Charles Darwin and the creation and evolution of the world.
