Circles presents Goldie | Sat 25 June | Hare & Hounds | £15
Music producer, DJ, graffiti artist, actor … Goldie’s list of talents stretches on and on. Playing a central role in the evolution of drum and bass, Goldie turned his infatuation with the British breakbeat and jungle scenes in the early ‘90s into instant classics such as ‘Terminator’ and ‘Timeless’. This Saturday, the West Midlands man graces the Hare & Hounds for a lesson in the dark arts of syncopated breakbeats and plummeting sub-bass. See our feature here.
