Wolverhampton's Goldie announces first collaborative album
Wolverhampton-born DJ, producer, visual artist and actor Goldie MBE has announced a new album as part of his latest project.
He has joined forces with revered engineer and producer James Davidson under the alias Subjective, releasing their first collaborative record, Act One – Music For Inanimate Objects, on January 18.
Since Goldie's boundary-pushing debut Timeless in 1995, he has continued to create, challenge and revolutionise the dance culture already known for its experimentation. Act One – Music For Inanimate Objects is the latest example.
Making up the other half of Subjective is James Davidson, described by Goldie as an 'exceptional engineer and an unsung producer in his own right' who has previously released music under the alias Ulterior Motive with Greg Hepworth, and also helped produce Goldie’s 2017 album The Journey Man.
This relationship progressed on to collaborating in the studio.
"Following the water as opposed to a strict concept," Goldie says, "this was the birth of Subjective."
And James adds: “This album isn’t just Ulterior Motive and Goldie, it’s a vision of Subjective. It was really exciting to have no boundaries on what we were writing, not restricted by the BPM or anything else - we just went wherever the smiles were.”
“I’ve always been a fighter with music and gone way ahead of the curve in a lot of respects”, Goldie adds. “I’ve come from an era that’s spanned three decades from the 80s to now, and I think I’ve always pushed a progressive drum‘n’bass, sound. But this is a refined album, one that you can really fall into, immerse yourself in, or just play in the background - and it still works.”
